The road is long
Дорога длинна,
You're gonna get thrown about
Но тебе придется пройти ее до конца.
Stick to the rhythm
Главное, не сбейся с ритма:
Breathe it in and breathe it out
Вдох-выдох, вдох-выдох.
Do what you do, there isn't any secret
Делай, что делаешь – в этом нет никакой тайны:
Chop wood, draw water, roll cigarettes
Руби деревья, лей воду, скручивай сигаретки,
Find a lover,
Найди себе девушку,
Put a flower in her hair
Вплети в ее волосы цветок,
Climb a mountain,
Заберись на вершину –
See the mountain disappear
Окажется, что она не так уж высока -
Be the first to go back to the ghost town
Первым вернись в покинутый город,
Break bread with the man
Раздели трапезу с человеком,
That's gonna bring you down
Из-за которого ты опустишься на дно,
Deep deep down
На самое-самое дно.
I listen and I hear what's said
Я слушаю, слышу все, что говорят,
I follow it from a to z
Стараюсь понять все от а до я –
But wisdom hasn't found me yet
Но эту мудрость я еще не постиг.
You're feeling scared,
Тебе страшно –
Jesus is your bodyguard
Но Иисус хранит тебя.
You feel alone
Тебе одиноко –
Take a look in your backyard
Выйди во двор,
Put your eye to the eye of a telescope
Посмотри в объектив телескопа
The universe looks back through a microscope
И увидишь, как Вселенная смотрит на тебя в микроскоп.
Adopt a highway
Выбери верный путь,
Dress yourself in camel-hair
Носи одежду из верблюжьей шерсти,
A wasted life
Знай, что потерянная жизнь –
Is a life lived unaware
Это жизнь, прожитая в неведении.
Make money, put it on a number eight
Заработай денег – и поставь все на восьмерку,
Tempt fate, maybe you're a wheel goin' round
Поспорь с судьбой, может, твоя жизнь идет по кругу?
Round and round
По одному и тому же кругу.
I listen and I hear what's said
Я слушаю, слышу все, что говорят,
I follow it from a to z
Стараюсь понять все от а до я –
But wisdom hasn't found me yet
Но эту мудрость я еще не постиг.
The road is long
The road is long
You're gonna get thrown about
But you have to go through to the end.
Stick to the rhythm
The main thing is not to lose the rhythm:
Breathe it in and breathe it out
Inhale-exhale, inhale-exhale.
Do not you secret
Do what you do - there is no mystery in it:
Chop wood, draw water, roll cigarettes
Chop down trees, pour water, roll cigarettes,
Find a lover,
Find a girl,
Put a flower in her hair
Weave a flower in her hair,
Climb a mountain
Climb to the top -
See the mountain disappear
It turns out that it is not so high -
Go back to the ghost town
Be the first to return to the deserted city
Break bread with the man
Share a meal with a man
That's gonna bring you down
Because of which you sink to the bottom,
Deep deep down
On the very bottom.
I listen and I hear what's said
I listen, I hear everything they say
I follow it from a to z
I try to understand everything from a to z -
But wisdom hasn't found me yet
But I have not yet grasped this wisdom.
You're feeling scared,
You're scared -
Jesus is your bodyguard
But Jesus keeps you.
You feel alone
Are you lonely -
Take a look in your backyard
Go out to the yard
Put your eye to the eye of a telescope
Look at the telescope lens
The universe looks back through a microscope
And you will see how the universe looks at you through a microscope.
Adopt a highway
Choose the right path
Dress yourself in camel-hair
Wear camel hair,
A wasted life
Know that the lost life -
Is a life lived unaware
This is life lived in ignorance.
Make money, put it on a number eight
Make money - and put everything on the eight,
Tempt fate go maybein a wheel goin 'round
Argue with fate, maybe your life goes in a circle?
Round and round
In the same circle.
I listen and I hear what's said
I listen, I hear everything they say
I follow it from a to z
I try to understand everything from a to z -
But wisdom hasn't found me yet
But I have not yet grasped this wisdom.
