Текст песни Лорди - The Riff

Рифф (перевод Надежда Ковина из Новобелокатая)

I met Mr. Death this morning
Я встретил мистера Смерть этим утром,
He offered me a ride.
Он предложил мне путешествие.
I said I think I'm not quite ready yet
Я ответил: "Думаю, что еще не совсем готов
To travel by your side
Странствовать с тобой".

"Practice what you preach"
"Практикуй, что проповедуешь";
Then said the count of shadowlands
Затем граф царства теней сказал:
"It doesn't hurt to take a peek"
"Не повредит взглянуть",
He grinned and grabbed my hand
Усмехнулся и схватил меня за руку.

I sat in the leather seat
Я сидел в кожаном кресле
Of his Chevy van
Его "Шевроле" вэна,
The motor screamed like a pack of rats
Двигатель визжал, как стая крыс
In a frying pan
На сковороде.

The headlights were shooting sparks
Фары стреляли искрами
And the tyres spinning flames
И шины вспыхивали, вращаясь.
"Well alrighty then"
"Ну, хорошо же", -
He said and opened up his case
Сказал он и открыл свой футляр.

The grim reaper played guitar
Беспощадный жнец играл на гитаре,
His bony fingers cold and stiff
Его костистые пальцы холодные и жесткие.
The sonic thunder froze my heart
Звуковой гром заморозил мое сердце,
As he cranked out the Riff
Когда он провернул рифф.

Oh, yeah, the Riff!
О, да, рифф!

Then his song was over
Затем его песня закончилась,
And he asked me not to lie
И он попросил меня не лгать.
I felt a bit uneasy
Я чувствовал себя слегка неудобно,
But I dared to criticize
Но посмел критиковать.

I told him, "Man, the riff is a killer
Я сказал ему: "Старик, рифф – убойный,
But the rest is a throw-away"
Но остальное – отбросы".
His face looked disappointed
Его лицо выглядело разочарованным,
But he said, "Ah, it's ok"
Но он сказал: "А, нормально".

I asked him, has he shown
Я спросил его, показал ли ему
The devil what he's got
Дьявол, что есть у него.
"He's written hits
"Он писал хиты,
But lately he has not"
Но в последнее время - ничего".

So the devil's out of touch
Итак, дьявол не в курсе дела
And he cannot smell a hit
И не может почувствовать запах хита.
"Cuz he has lost his mind
"Потому что он спятил
With all that hip-hop shit"
Со всем этим хип-хоповским дер*мом".

The grim reaper played guitar
Беспощадный жнец играл на гитаре,
His bony fingers cold and stiff
Его костистые пальцы холодные и жесткие.
The sonic thunder froze my heart
Звуковой гром заморозил мое сердце,
As he cranked out the Riff
Когда он провернул рифф.

Oh, yeah, the Riff!
О, да, рифф!

I woke up and the van was upside down
Я проснулся, фургон был вверх тормашками,
My body bleeds
Мое тело в крови.
We must have crashed right off the road
Мы, должно быть, разбились сразу же в дороге,
And Death could barely speak
И мистер Смерть едва мог говорить.

He said, "Listen you gotta take my place
Он сказал: "Слушай, ты должен занять мое место,
I'm leaving office soon"
Я скоро покидаю пост".
I said, "I'm sorry dude, I'm kinda busy
Я ответил: "Сожалею, парень, я типа занят,
But tell you what: I'll take the tune"
Но скажу тебе вот что: я подхвачу мелодию".

And it goes like this...
И дело обстоит так...

The grim reaper played guitar
Беспощадный жнец играл на гитаре,
His bony fingers cold and stiff
Его костистые пальцы холодные и жесткие.
The sonic thunder froze my heart
Звуковой гром заморозил мое сердце,
As he cranked out the Riff
Когда он провернул рифф.

The grim reaper played guitar
Беспощадный жнец играл на гитаре,
His bony fingers cold and stiff
Его костистые пальцы холодные и же

Riff (translation by Nadezhda Kovin from Novobelokatai)

I Met Mr. Death This Morning
I met Mr. Death this morning,
He offered me a Ride.
He offered me a trip.
I Said I Think I'm Not Quite Ready Yet
I replied: "I think it's not quite ready
To travel by your side
Wander with you. "

"Practice What You Preach"
"Practice what you preach";
The Said The Count of Shadowlands
Then the count of the kingdom of shadows said:
"Itsn't Hurt to Take A Peek"
"Will not hurt to look"
He Grinned and Grabbed My Hand
He grinned and grabbed my hand.

I Sat in the Leather Seat
I was sitting in a leather chair
Of his chevy van
His Chevrolet Wan,
The Motor Screamed Like a Pack of Rats
The engine screamed like a flock
In a frying pan
In a pan.

The Headlights Were Shooting Sparks
The headlights shot sparks
And the Ters Spinning Flames
And the tires flashed, rotating.
"Well Alrighty then"
"Well, good," -
He Said and Opened Up His Case
He said and opened his case.

The Grim Reaper Played Guitar
A merciless reaper playing the guitar,
HIS Bony Fingers Cold and Stiff
Its bony fingers are cold and hard.
The Sonic Thunder Froze My Heart
The sound thunder froze my heart,
As he cranked out the riff
When he turned Riff.

Oh, yeah, the riff!
Oh, yes, Riff!

The HIS Song Was Over
Then his song ended,
And he asked me not to live
And he asked me not to lie.
I Felt a bit uneasy
I felt slightly uncomfortable
But i dared to criticize
But dared to criticize.

I Told Him, "Man, The Riff is a Killer
I told him: "Old man, riffs - slaughter,
But The Rest is a Throw-Away "
But the rest is the scum. "
HIS Face Loucked Disappointed
His face looked disappointed,
But he said, "ah, it's ok"
But he said: "Ah, fine."

I ASKED HIM, HAS He Shown
I asked him if he showed him
The Devil What He's Got
The devil, what he has.
"He's Written Hits
"He wrote hits
But Latly he has not "
But recently - nothing. "

So The Devil's Out of Touch
So, the devil is not aware of the matter
And he cannot smell a hit
And he cannot smell the hit.
"Cuz He Has Lost His Mind
"Because he is crazy
With All that Hip-Hop Shit "
With all this hip-hop der*mom. "

The Grim Reaper Played Guitar
A merciless reaper playing the guitar,
HIS Bony Fingers Cold and Stiff
Its bony fingers are cold and hard.
The Sonic Thunder Froze My Heart
The sound thunder froze my heart,
As he cranked out the riff
When he turned Riff.

Oh, yeah, the riff!
Oh, yes, Riff!

I Woke Up and the Van Was Upside Down
I woke up, the van was upside down,
My Body Bleeds
My body is in the blood.
We must have rable off the room
We must have crashed immediately on the road,
And Death Could Barely Speak
And Mr. Death could hardly speak.

He Said, "Listen You Gotta Take My Place
He said: "Listen, you have to take my place,
I'M LEAVING OFFICE SOON "
I am leaving the post soon. "
I said, "i'm sorry dude, i'm kinda deny
I replied: "I'm sorry, guy, I'm busy,
But Tell You What: i'll Take The Tune "
But I’ll tell you this: I will catch the melody. "

And it goes like this ...
And this is the case ...
