I'm gone fishing
I got me a line
Nothing I do is gonna make the difference
So I'm taking the time
And you ain't never gonna be happy
Anyhow, anyway
So I'm gone fishing
And I'm going today
I'm gone fishing
Sounds crazy I know
I know nothing about fishing
But just watch me go
And when my time has come
I will look back and see
Peace on the shoreline
That could have been me
You can waste a whole lifetime
Trying to be
What you think is expected of you
But you'll never be free
May as well go fishing

Мы заняты, вечно нам времени жалко.
Нет, всё, решено: ухожу на рыбалку!
Когда ещё выпадет случай такой –
С удой посидеть над прохладной водой?
И пусть я в рыбалке не смыслю ни грамма,
Да будет сегодня такая программа!
Неважно, что рыба не будет ловиться,
Я просто желаю с природою слиться.
За шум водопада, журчанье воды
На время уйти от пустой суеты.
Крючок окуная в бегущий поток,
Подумать, что сделал, что сделать бы смог,
Осмыслить минувшее, будущий путь…
Да просто, от бега устав, отдохнуть.
Но время летит, как оно быстротечно -
И отдых недолог, и счастье не вечно.
Усталое солнце уйдёт за моря,
Вечерняя вспыхнет на небе заря,
И мне на прощанье блеснёт над волной
Непойманной рыбки плавник золотой.
I'm gone fishing
I got me a line
Nothing I do is gonna make the difference
So I'm taking the time
And you ain't never gonna be happy
Anyhow, anyway
So I'm gone fishing
And I'm going today
I'm gone fishing
Sounds crazy I know
I know nothing about fishing
But just watch me go
And when my time has come
I will look back and see
Peace on the shoreline
That could have been me
You can waste a whole lifetime
Trying to be
What you think is expected of you
But you'll never be free
May as well go fishing

We are busy, we always feel sorry for time.
No, that's it, it's decided: I'm going fishing!
When else will there be such a case -
To sit over cool water with milk yield?
And even if I do not understand a single gram of fishing,
Let there be such a program today!
It doesn't matter that the fish won't be caught
I just wish to merge with nature.
For the noise of the waterfall, the murmur of water
For a while, get away from the empty vanity.
Dipping a hook into a running stream,
Think what you did, what you could do
Comprehend the past, the future path ...
Yes, just, tired of running, take a break.
But time flies, how fleeting it is -
And rest is short-lived, and happiness is not eternal.
The tired sun will go over the seas
Evening dawn will break out in the sky,
And goodbye it will flash over the wave
An uncaught fish has a golden fin.
