Перевод песни Across the River Thames | Группа elton john | Альбом The Captain & the Kid

Good taste at times I‘ve sometimes lacked I won't deny the truth I got dressed up as Donald Duck Making up for my repressed youth Disco balls and spandex pants On questionable friends Disco died but the fog still rolled across the River Thames

Порой мне недоставало вкуса, Не стану отрицать. Я выходил на сцену в костюме Дональда Дака, Навёрстывая упущенное в юности. Дискотечные зеркальные шары и штаны из лайкры На моих сомнительных друзьях. Эра диско прошла, Но над Темзой по-прежнему клубился туман.

Snarling they just came along And cut us to the quick Called us a bunch of dinosaurs And gave us a load of stick Told us that the times was changing And all good things must end But I'm still here and the fog still rolls across the River Thames

В то время на нас окрысились писаки, Достали нас до самых печёнок. Они обзывали нас кучкой динозавров И обрушивались на нас с нападками. Говорили, что времена меняются, И всё хорошее когда-нибудь заканчивается, Но я всё ещё здесь, И над Темзой по-прежнему стелется туман.

Nelson's on his column Ravens are in the Tower Big Ben's never lost his voice Chimes on every hour And the fog still rolls off the River Thames The forecast calls for rain London Bridge ain't falling down And some things never change

На колонне стоит Нельсон, В Тауэре живут вороны, Куранты Биг-Бэна не утратили звона И отбивают каждый час, И над Темзой по-прежнему клубится туман. Синоптики обещают дождь, Лондонский мост не падает, Некоторые вещи никогда не меняются.

4

The black-faced boys were holding tight And Thatcher's in a noose Hair got teased beyond belief In the age of the golden goose The new romantics claimed the throne And we were wondering when But they lost their crown and the fog still rolled across the River Thames

Боровшиеся за свои права шахтёры И чучело Тэтчер в петле. Причёски с невероятным начёсом В эпоху курочки, несущёй золотые яички. Новые романтики претендовали на трон, И мы гадали, когда они на него взойдут, Но они потеряли корону А над Темзой по-прежнему клубился туман.

5

Big bold letters screaming out A scandal in the house Dogs without their vocal chords And careers going south What the eye can't see the eye invents The truth was meant to bend But nothing changed and the fog still rolled across the River Thames

Кричащие газетные заголовки О скандале в доме. Собаки с удалёнными голосовыми связками1 И рухнувшие карьеры. Воображение домысливает недоступное глазу, Намеренно искажая правду, Но ничего не менялось И над Темзой по-прежнему клубился туман.

Across the River Thames English / Английский язык

Good taste at times I‘ve sometimes lacked I won't deny the truth I got dressed up as Donald Duck Making up for my repressed youth Disco balls and spandex pants On questionable friends Disco died but the fog still rolled across the River Thames
