ДОВЫБИРАЛСЯ
Леонард Коэн, перевод песни

От рождения нас учат:
Нужно выбирать,
И добро от зла
Умейте отличать.
Когда б советы эти слушал,
Сегодня б не страдал -
Живу теперь и мучаюсь
За то, что выбирал.
Вокруг соблазнов много,
С бутылкой мы друзья,
Любил немало женщин -
От них и пострадал.
Живу теперь и мучаюсь
За то, что выбирал.
Платить приходит время
За всё, что натворил.
Вернуть бы счастья бремя -
Какой же я дебил!
О жизнь моя дремучая -
Не в покер ведь играл! -
Живу теперь и мучаюсь
За то, что выбирал.
Теперь живу и мучаюсь
За то, что выбирал...
CHOICES
I′ve had choices
Since the day that I was born
There were voices
That told me right from wrong
If I had listened
No I wouldn′t be here today
Living and dying
With the choices I made
I was tempted
By an early age I found
I liked drinking
Oh, and I never turned it down
There were loved ones
But I turned them all away
Now I′m living and dying
With the choices I made
I′ve had choices
Since the day that I was born
There were voices
That told me right from wrong
If I had listened
No, I wouldn′t be here today
Living and dying
With the choices I made
I guess I′m paying
For the things that I have done
If I could go back
Oh, Lord knows I′d run
But I′m still losing
This game of life I play
Living and dying
With the choices I made
I′ve had choices
Since the day that I was born
There were voices
That told me right from wrong
If I had listened
No, I wouldn′t be here today
Living and dying
With the choices I made
Living and dying
With the choices I made... |
