Песня The night they drove old Dixie down с переводом на русский | Группа band the | Альбом The Band

1

Virgil Caine is the name and I served on the Danville train, 'Til Stoneman's cavalry came and tore up the tracks again. In the winter of '65, we were hungry, just barely alive. By May the tenth, Richmond had fell It's a time I remember, oh so well,

Меня зовут Вёрджил Кейн, и я служил в дэнвилльском поезде1, Пока не прибыла кавалерия Стоунмана2 и пока не разрушила пути опять. Зимой 1865-го мы голодали, еле живы были. К десятому мая пал Ричмонд3. О, я так хорошо помню то время,

2

The night they drove old Dixie down, And the bells were ringing, The night they drove old Dixie down, And the people were singing, They went, "La, la, la."

Ту ночь, когда погнали старый добрый Юг4, И звонили колокола, Ту ночь, когда сокрушили старый добрый Юг, И люди пели, Пели: «Ла, ла, ла».

3

Back with my wife in Tennessee, When one day she called to me, "Virgil, quick, come see, there goes Robert E.Lee." Now I don't mind choppin' wood, And I don't care if the money's no good. Ya take what ya need and ya leave the rest. But they should never have taken the very best

Вернулся к своей жене в Теннесси, А однажды она окликнула меня: «Вёрджил, быстрее, посмотри, вон идёт Роберт Эдвард Ли5». Теперь я не против порубить дров, И мне всё равно, что деньги негодные: Берёшь необходимое, а остальное бросаешь. Но им вовсе не следовало забирать самое лучшее

The night they drove old Dixie down And the bells were ringing The night they drove old Dixie down And the people were singing They went, "La, la, la."

В ту ночь, когда преследовали старый добрый Юг, И звонили колокола, В ту ночь, когда сокрушили старый добрый Юг, И люди пели, Пели: «Ла, ла, ла».

5

Like my father before me, I will work the land. And like my brother above me, who took a rebel stand. He was just eighteen, proud and brave, But a Yankee laid him in his grave. I swear by the mud below my feet, You can't raise a Caine back up when he's in defeat

Как и мой отец до меня, я буду работать на земле. И как мой старший брат, который занял мятежную позицию. Ему было всего восемнадцать — гордый и храбрый, Но янки уложили его в могилу. Клянусь грязью у меня под ногами, Кейна не воскресишь, раз уж он побеждён

The night they drove old Dixie down And the bells were ringing The night they drove old Dixie down And the people were singing They went, "La, la, la."

В ту ночь, когда дожали старый добрый Юг, И звонили колокола, В ту ночь, когда сокрушили старый добрый Юг, И люди пели, Пели: «Ла, ла, ла».
