Текст песни Стинг - Stolen Car

Late at night in summer heat. Expensive car, empty street
There's a wire in my jacket. This is my trade
It only takes a moment, don't be afraid
I can hotwire an ignition like some kind of star
I'm just a poor boy in a rich man's car
So I whisper to the engine, flick on the lights
And we drive into the night

Oh the smell of the leather always excites my imagination
And I picture myself in this different situation
I'm a company director, two kids and a wife
I get the feeling that there's more to this one's life
There's some kind of complication, he tells her he's alone
Spends the night with his lover, there's a trace of her cologne
And the words of his mistress, as she whispers them so near
Start ringing in my ear

Please take me dancing tonight I've been all on my own
You promised one day we could it's what you said on the phone
I'm just a prisoner of love always hid from the light
Take me dancing, please take me dancing tonight

I imagine his wife, she don't look nothing like a fool
She picks the kids up from some private school
She remembers what he told her, he was late and worked alone
But there's more than a suspicion in this lingering cologne
And the kids just won't be quiet and she runs a traffic light
And she drives into the night

Please take me dancing tonight I've been all on my own
You promised one day we could it's what you said on the phone
I'm just a prisoner of love always hid from the light
Take me dancing, please take me dancing tonight

So here am I in a stolen car at a traffic light
They go from red to green and so I just drive into the night

Please take me dancing tonight I've been all on my own
You promised one day we could it's what you said on the phone
I'm just a prisoner of love always hid from the light
Take me dancing, please take me dancing tonight

Украденная машина

Душная летняя ночь. Дорогая машина, пустая улица.
У меня в куртке спрятан проводок. Это моё ремесло.
Всё длится одно мгновение, не бойся.
Замкнув провода, я получаю искру, которая вспыхивает, как звезда.
Я просто бедный мальчик в машине богача.
Поэтому я шёпотом обращаюсь к двигателю, включаю фары,
И машина трогается с места.

О, запах кожи всегда будоражил моё воображение,
И я представляю себя в той, в другой ситуации,
Где я директор компании, я женат и у меня двое детей.
Но я чувствую, что в жизни этого человека есть кое-что ещё –
Некоторое затруднение, а именно, он говорит жене, что у него никого нет,
А сам проводит ночь с любовницей. Я чувствую запах её туалетной воды,
И слова, которые она нашёптывает ему на ухо,
Всё ещё звенят у меня в ушах:

Пожалуйста, отвези меня сегодня вечером на танцы, я здесь совсем одна,
Ты же обещал, что сделаешь это, ты как-то сказал об этом по телефону.
Я ведь просто заложница любви и вынуждена прятаться от дневного света.
Отвези меня на танцы, отвези меня на танцы сегодня вечером.

Я представляю его жену, она не похожа на дурочку.
Забирая детей из частной школы,
Она вспоминает, как он говорил ей, что задерживается на работе,
А витающий аромат туалетной воды наконец-то подтверждает все подозрения.
Дети никак не успокаиваются, но она включает фары,
И машина трогается с места.

Пожалуйста, отвези меня сегодня вечером на танцы, я здесь совсем одна,
Ты же обещал, что сделаешь это, ты как-то сказал об этом по телефону.
Я ведь просто заложница любви и вынуждена прятаться от дневного света.
Отвези меня на танцы, отвези меня на танцы сегодня вечером.

А вот и я: я остановился у светофора в украденной машине.
Свет меняется с красного на зелёный, и машина трогается с места.

Пожалуйста, отвези меня сегодня вечером на танцы, я здесь совсем одна,
Ты же обещал, что сделаешь это, ты как-то сказал об этом по телефону.
Я ведь просто заложница любви и вынуждена прятаться от дневно

stolen car

A sultry summer night . Expensive car , empty street .
I tucked in a jacket postings. This is my craft .
All lasts a moment , do not worry .
Hooked wire , I get a spark that flashes like a star.
I'm just a poor boy in a rich man's car .
Therefore, I appeal to whisper engine including lights,
And the car starts to move .

Oh, the smell of leather always stirred my imagination ,
And I imagine myself in that , in other situations ,
Where I am the director of the company , I am married and have two children.
But I feel that in this man's life there's something else -
Some difficulty , namely , he tells his wife that he has no one ,
And he spends the night with his mistress . I can smell her toilet water ,
And the words she whispers in his ear ,
Still ring in my ears :

Please take me to the dance tonight , I'm here all alone,
You promised you'd do it, you once said about it on the phone.
I'm just a prisoner of love and forced to hide from the light of day.
Take me dancing , take me to the dance tonight.

I imagine his wife , she does not look like a fool .
Taking children out of private school ,
She recalls how he told her that delayed at work ,
A fragrance lingers toilet water finally confirms all suspicions.
Children can not calm down , but she turns on the lights ,
And the car starts to move .

Please take me to the dance tonight , I'm here all alone,
You promised you'd do it, you once said about it on the phone.
I'm just a prisoner of love and forced to hide from the light of day.
Take me dancing , take me to the dance tonight.

And here I am , I stopped at a traffic light in a stolen car .
Light changes from red to green , and the car starts to move .

Please take me to the dance tonight , I'm here all alone,
You promised you'd do it, you once said about it on the phone.
I'm just a prisoner of love and forced to hide from the fluorescently
