Metal And Wood (оригинал Tyrone Wells)
Металл и дерево (перевод Шелудков Артем из Ялуторовска)
Take all the Metal and Wood
Собери весь металл и дерево,
Used in the waging of the war
Используемые для ведения войны,
And teach the men that make those weapons
И научи людей, производящих из них оружие,
To build shelter for the poor
Строить убежища для бедных.
Take all the money we spend
Собери все деньги, что мы потратили,
On the way that we appear
И на пути, где мы появимся,
Find the ones that die of hunger
Найди тех, кто гибнет от голода,
And help them see them another year
И помоги им дожить до следующего года.
Before we fade away
Перед тем, как мы исчезнем,
Let's make a better day
Давай сделаем этот мир лучше,
This world will keep on turning
Этот мир продолжит вращаться
After we are gone... long gone.
После того, как мы уйдем... Гораздо позже...
There was a forest I loved
Был лес, который я любил.
Where the air was fresh and clean
Где воздух был свеж и чист.
We took the forest for a factory
Мы использовали лес на строительство фабрики,
So we could build some more machines
И теперь мы можем построить еще больше техники.
When I was young I learned to sing
В молодости я учился петь
And music blossomed in my soul
И музыка цвела в моей душе.
We took the music from the schools
Мы убрали музыку из школ
And left the darkest, gaping holes.
И оставили мрачнейшие, зияющие дыры...
Where will our children be?
Где будут наши дети,
If they don't learn to see?
Если они не научатся понимать?
Millions of voices falling silent til' they're gone
Миллионы голосов стихают, пока окончательно не умолкнут.
When we were young
Когда мы были молодыми,
All the world was new
Все в мире казалось новым.
But soon we found
Но вскоре мы обнаружили,
The childhood fairytale were never true
Что детские сказки никогда не были правдой.
And how the story ends
И то, как закончится история,
Depends on you
Зависит от тебя,
And me
И от меня.
Where will our children be?
Где будут наши дети,
If they don't learn to see?
Если они не научатся понимать?
Millions of voices falling silent til they're gone...
Миллионы голосов стихают, пока окончательно не умолкнут.
Before we fade away
Перед тем, как мы исчезнем,
Let's make a better day
Давай сделаем этот мир лучше,
This world will keep on turning
Этот мир продолжит вращаться
After we are gone
После того, как мы уйдем...
After you are gone.
После того, как ты уйдёшь,
After I am gone... long gone
После того, как я уйду... Гораздо позже...
Metal And Wood (original Tyrone Wells)
Metal and wood (translated by Sheludkov Artem from Yalutorovsk)
Take all the Metal and Wood
Gather all the metal and wood,
Used in the waging of the war
Used to wage war,
And teach the men that make those weapons
And teach the people who make weapons from them,
To build shelter for the poor
Build shelter for the poor.
Take all the money we spend
Collect all the money we spent
On the way that we appear
And on the way where we appear,
Find the ones that die of hunger
Find those who die from hunger,
And help
And help them live until next year.
Before we fade away
Before we disappear,
Let's make a better day
Let's make this world better
This world will keep on turning
This world will continue to rotate
After we are gone ... long gone.
After we leave ... Much later ...
There was a forest I loved
There was a forest that I loved.
Where the air was fresh and clean
Where the air was fresh and clean.
For a factory
We used wood to build a factory,
So we could build some more machines
And now we can build even more equipment.
When I was young I learned to sing
In my youth I learned to sing
And music blossomed in my soul
And the music has bloomed in my soul.
We took the music from the schools
We removed music from schools.
And left the darkest, gaping holes.
And left the darkest, gaping holes ...
Where will our children be?
Where will our children be,
If they don't learn to see?
If they do not learn to understand?
Millions of voices falling silent til 'they're gone
Millions of votes subside until they are completely silenced.
When we were young
When we were young,
All the world was new
Everything in the world seemed new.
But soon we found
But we soon discovered
The childhood fairytale were never true
That children's fairy tales were never true.
And how the story ends
And how the story ends,
Depends on you
Depends on you
And me
And from me.
Where will our children be?
Where will our children be,
If they don't learn to see?
If they do not learn to understand?
Millions of voices falling silent til they're gone ...
Millions of votes subside until they are completely silenced.
Before we fade away
Before we disappear,
Let's make a better day
Let's make this world better
This world will keep on turning
This world will continue to rotate
After we are gone
After we leave ...
After you are gone.
After you leave,
After I am gone ... long gone
After I leave ... Much later ...
