Boat on the River

Styx

Take me back to my boat on the river*
I need to go down**, I need to come down
Take me back to my boat on the river
And I won’t cry out anymore
Time stands still as I gaze in her*** waters
She eases me down, touching me gently
With the waters that flow past my boat on the river
So I don’t cry out anymore

Oh the river is wide
The river, it touches my life
Like the waves on the sand
And all roads lead to Tranquillity Base****
Where the frown on my face disappears

Take me down to my boat on the river
And I won’t cry out anymore

Oh the river is deep
The river, it touches my life
Like the waves on the sand
And all roads lead to Tranquillity Base
Where the frown on my face disappears

Take me down to my boat on the river
I need to go down, with you let me go down
Take me back to my boat on the river
And I won’t cry out anymore
And I won’t cry out anymore
And I won’t cry out anymore
 

Лодка на реке

Перевод И. Мостицкого

Отведи меня к моей лодке на реке
Мне надо успокоиться, надо поостыть
Отведи меня к моей лодке на реке
И мне уже ничего не надо будет
Время замирает, когда я гляжусь в ее воды
Она успокаивает, нежно касаясь меня
Своим течением у моей лодки на реке
Так что мне уже ничего не надо

О, река широка
Река — она касается жизни
моей
Подобно волнам на песке
А все дороги ведут на Базу Спокойствия
Где мой хмурый взгляд
исчезает с лица

Отведи меня к моей лодке на реке
И мне уже ничего не надо будет

 


In the Army Now
 

 

A vacation in a foreign land
Uncle Sam does the best he can
You're in the army now
Oh, oh you're in the army — now

Now you remember what the draftman said
Nothing to do all day but stay in bed
You're in the army now
Oh, oh you're in the army — now

You'll be the hero of the neighborhood
Nobody knows that you left for good
You're in the army now
Oh, oh you're in the army — now

Smiling faces as you wait to land
But once you get there
No one gives a damn
You're in the army now
Oh, oh you're in the army — now

Hand grenade's flying over your head
(drum breaks)
Missile's flying over your head
If you wanna survive get out of bed
You're in the army now
Oh, oh you're in the army — now

Shots ring out in the dead of night
The sergeant calls
'Stand up and fight!'
You're in the army now
Oh, oh you're in the army — now

You've got your orders to shoot on sight
Your finger's on the trigger
But it don't seem right
You're in the army now
Oh, oh you're in the army — now

Night is falling and you just can't see
Is this illusion or reality
You're in the army now
Oh, oh you're in the army
In the army now
You're in the army now
Oh, oh you're in the army — now

 

* Дядя Сэм — олицетворение американского государства и правительства.
