В моем сердце живет синяя птица
Которая мечтает вырваться
Но я слишком крепок
Ей меня не сломить
Я говорю сиди там
Я никому не позволю увидеть тебя
В моем сердце живет синяя птица
Которая мечтает вырваться
Но я заливаю её виски
И вдыхаю сигаретный дым
И шлюхи и бармены
И продавцы в бакалее
Ни за что не узнают что она там
В моем сердце живет синяя птица
Которая мечтает вырваться
Но я слишком крепок
Ей меня не сломить
Я говорю не высовывайся
Хочешь все мне изгадить
Хочешь испортить мне всю работу
Хочешь сорвать мне продажи в Европе
В моем сердце живет синяя птица
Которая мечтает вырваться
Но я слишком умен
Я выпускаю её лишь иногда по ночам
Когда все спят
Я говорю я знаю что ты там
Не грусти
Затем сажаю её обратно
Но она и там тихонько поёт
Я не даю ей умереть
И мы спим вместе
Как по тайному соглашению
И это так хорошо
Что взрослый мужчина мог бы расплакаться
Но я не плачу
А вы?

Bluebird
there's a bluebird in my heart that
wants to get out
but I'm too tough for him,
I say, stay in there, I'm not going
to let anybody see
you.
there's a bluebird in my heart that
wants to get out
but I pour whiskey on him and inhale
cigarette smoke
and the whores and the bartenders
and the grocery clerks
never know that
he's
in there.
there's a bluebird in my heart that
wants to get out
but I'm too tough for him,
I say,
stay down, do you want to mess
me up?
you want to screw up the
works?
you want to blow my book sales in
Europe?
there's a bluebird in my heart that
wants to get out
but I'm too clever, I only let him out
at night sometimes
when everybody's asleep.
I say, I know that you're there,
so don't be
sad.
then I put him back,
but he's singing a little
in there, I haven't quite let him
die
and we sleep together like
that
with our
secret pact
and it's nice enough to
make a man
weep, but I don't
weep, do
you?
Charles Bukowski
A blue bird lives in my heart
Who dreams of breaking free
But I'm too tough
She won't break me
I say sit there
I won't let anyone see you
A blue bird lives in my heart
Who dreams of breaking free
But I pour her whiskey
And inhale cigarette smoke
And whores and bartenders
And the grocery sellers
They will never know that she is there
A blue bird lives in my heart
Who dreams of breaking free
But I'm too tough
She won't break me
I say keep your head down
You wanna mess it all up for me
Wanna ruin my whole job
You want to disrupt my sales in Europe
A blue bird lives in my heart
Who dreams of breaking free
But I'm too smart
I only release it sometimes at night
When everyone is asleep
I say i know you are there
Do not be sad
Then I put her back
But she sings softly there too
I don't let her die
And we sleep together
Like a secret agreement
And it feels so good
That a grown man could cry
But i don't cry
And you?
