I keep hearing you're concerned about my happiness.
But all that thought you're giving me is conscience, I guess.
If I were walking in your shoes I wouldn't worry none.
While you and your friends are worrying 'bout me, I'm having lots of fun.
[Chorus:]
Counting flowers on the wall,
That don't bother me at all.
Playing solitaire till dawn with a deck of 51.
Smoking cigarettes and watching Captain Kangaroo.
So don't tell me.. I've nothing to do..
Last night I dressed in tails,
pretended I was on the town.
As long as I can dream it's hard to slow this swinger down.
So please don't give a thought to me I'm really doing fine.
You can always find me here and having quite a time!
[Chorus]
It's good to see you, I must go, I know I look a fright.
Anyway my eyes are not accustomed to this light.
And my shoes are not accustomed to this hard concrete.
So I must go back to my room and make my day complete.
[Chorus]
*******
Я всё ещё слышу, что тебя беспокоит моё счастье,
Но, я предполагаю, что эта мысль, которая идёт от тебя ко мне, просто совесть.
Если бы я был на твоём месте - я бы не волновался вообще.
Пока ты со своими друзьями беспокоишься обо мне, я просто балдею.
[Припев:]
Считаю цветочки на стене,
Которые совсем меня не волнуют.
До рассвета раскладываю пасьянс из колоды в 51 карту,
Курю сигареты и смотрю "Капитан Кенгуру".
Да ничего не говори мне... Мне нечем заняться..
Прошлой ночью я надел фрак и притворился, что пошёл в город развлекаться.
Пока я могу мечтать, сложно замедлять этот механизм.
Поэтому, пожалуйста, не пытайся мне внушить, что у меня всё в порядке.
Ты всегда сможешь найти меня здесь и хорошенько повеселиться!
[Припев]
Конечно, приятно тебя видеть, но я должен идти, я знаю, я выгляжу нелепо.
Всё равно мои глаза не привыкли к этому свету,
А мои ботинки не привыкли к этому твёрдому бетону,
Так что я должен вернуться к себе в комнату и завершить свой день.
[Припев]
I was hearing about my happiness.
I guess.
If I were walking in your shoes.
I’m having lots of fun.
[Chorus:]
Counting flowers on the wall,
That don't bother me at all.
Playing solitaire till dawn with a deck of 51.
Smoking cigarettes and watching Captain Kangaroo.
So don't tell me .. I've been nothing to do ..
Last night I dressed in tails,
pretended I was on the town.
As long as I can dream of it.
So I'm really doing fine.
You can always find me here and have quite a time!
[Chorus]
I must go, I know I look a fright.
Anyway my eyes are not accustomed to this light.
And my shoes are not accustomed to this hard concrete.
So I must go back to my room.
[Chorus]
*******
I still hear that my happiness is bothering you,
But, I suppose that this thought that goes from you to me is just a conscience.
If I were you, I wouldn't be worried at all.
As long as you and your friends are worried about me, I'm just bastard.
[Chorus:]
I think the flowers on the wall
Which don't bother me at all.
Until dawn, I play solitaire from a deck of 51 cards,
I smoke cigarettes and watch & quot; Captain Kangaroo & quot ;.
Don't tell me anything ... I have nothing to do ..
Last night I put on a coat and pretended to go to the city to have fun.
As long as I can dream, it is difficult to slow down this mechanism.
So please do not try to convince me that everything is alright.
You can always find me here and have a good time!
[Chorus]
Of course it's nice to see you, but I have to go, I know, I look ridiculous.
Anyway, my eyes are not used to this light,
And my shoes are not used to this hard concrete,
So I have to go back to my room and finish my day.
[Chorus]
