Железная рука
(сл. Марк Нопфлер, перевод на русский язык - ardel)
Каждый день я вспоминаю
Небо голубое над зеленеющей травой
Грязный народ и нарядный моряк
Правда и смелость против силы морской
Войска получили приказ
Сапоги и бляшки сверкают все в ряд
Щит и дубина в руках у солдат
Метут всё как волна одна за другой
Было ночью всё видно ясно как днем
Красную кровь на зеленой траве
Сияние шпор на рыжем коне
Как удар за ударом убивают людей
Шахтерская воля и шахтерский же труд
На английской земле и зеленых полях
Позор этой сцены нельзя передать
Этой ночью горячею кровью умылись цари
Увы, всё повторяется вновь
Рыцари в латах, минули их дни
Но ужас всё тот же, и всё та же резня
Мы остались всё те же, что и были тогда
With all the clarity of dream
The sky so blue, the grass so green
The rank and file and the navy blue
The deep and strong, the straight and true
The blue line they got the given sign
The belts and boots marched forward in time
The wood and the leather the club and shield
Swept like a wave across the battlefield
Now with all the clarity of dream
The blood so red, the grass so green
The gleam of spur on the chestnut flank
The cavalry did burst upon the ranks
Oh the iron will and the iron hand
In england's green and pleasant land
No music for the shameful scene
That night they said it had even shocked the queen
Well alas we've seen it all before
Knights in armour, days for yore
The same old fears and the same old crimes
We haven't changed since ancient times
Iron hand
(SL. Mark Nonopfler, translation into Russian - Ardel)
Every day I remember
Blue sky over green grass
Dirty people and elegant sailor
True and courage against the power of sea
Troops received order
Boots and plaques sparkle everything in a row
Shield and a duby in the hands of a soldier
Make everything like a wave one after another
Was at night everything can be clear how afternoon
Red Blood on Green Grass
Shining spur on red horse
How to hit people kill people
Miner's will and mining work
On English Earth and Green Fields
Shame this scene can not pass
This night, the kings were hot blood
Alas, everything is repeated again
Knights in lats, passed their days
But the horror is the same, and all the same massacre
We stayed all the same as they were then
All the Clarity of Dream
THE SKY SO BLUE, THE GRASS SO GREEN
The Rank and File and The Navy Blue
The Deep and Strong, The Straight and True
THE BLUE LINE THEY GOT THE GIVEN SIGN
The Belts and Boots Marched Forward in Time
The Wood and The Leather The Club and Shield
SWEPT LIKE A WAVE ACROSS THE BATTLEFIELD
NOW WITH ALL THE CLARITY OF DREAM
THE BLOOD SO RED, THE GRASS SO GREEN
THE GLEAM OF SPUR ON THE CHESTNUT FLANK
THE CAVALRY DID BURST UPON THE RANKS
Oh The Iron Will and The Iron Hand
IN ENGLAND'S GREEN AND PLEASANT LAND
No Music for the Shameful Scene
THAT NIGHT THEY SAID IT HAD EVEN SHOCKED THE QUEEN
WELL ALAS WE'VE SEEN IT ALL BEFORE
Knights in Armour, Days for Yore
The Same Old FEARS AND THE SAME OLD CRIMES
We Have't Changed Since Ancient Times
