Take Me to Church
Отведи меня в церковь (перевод Елизавета)
My lover's got humour
У моей любимой хорошее настроение,
She's the giggle at a funeral
Она хихикает на похоронах,
Knows everybody's disapproval
Знает, что все осуждают.
I should've worshipped her sooner
Мне следовало чтить её сразу.
If the Heavens ever did speak
Если бы небеса когда-то говорили,
She is the last true mouthpiece
Она была бы верным глашатаем. 1
Every Sunday's getting more bleak
Всякое воскресенье становится всё унылее,
A fresh poison each week
Со свежим ядом каждую неделю.
'We were born sick,' you heard them say it
Слышишь, как все говорят: “Мы рождены больными,” -
My church offers no absolution
Моя церковь не предлагает отпущения грехов,
She tells me 'worship in the bedroom'
А любимая говорит мне: “Преклоняйся в спальне”.
The only heaven I'll be sent to
Единственный рай, в который я отправлюсь -
Is when I'm alone with you
Это когда я наедине с тобой.
I was born sick, but I love it
Я рождён больным, но мне это по душе,
Command me to be well
Прикажи здравствовать, 2
Amen. Amen. Amen
Аминь. Аминь. Аминь.
[Chorus: 2x]
[Припев: 2x]
Take me to church
Отведи меня в церковь,
I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your light
Я буду поклоняться как собака алтарю твоего света,
I'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife
Я поведаю о своих грехах, а ты сможешь наточить нож,
Offer me that deathless death
Даровать мне бессмертную смерть, 3
Good God, let me give you my life
Боже, позволь отдать тебе мою жизнь.
If I'm a pagan of the good times
Если я язычник лучших времён,
My lover's the sunlight
То моя любимая - их солнечный свет. 4
To keep the Goddess on my side
Чтобы сохранить богиню рядом со мной,
She demands a sacrifice
Она требует жертвы.
To drain the whole sea
Осушить целое море,
Get something shiny
Достать что-нибудь сверкающее,
Something meaty for the main course
Что-нибудь мясное для главного блюда.
That's a fine looking high horse
Вот хорошенькая благородная лошадь,
What you got in the stable?
Что у тебя в стойле? 5
We've a lot of starving faithful
В нас много страшно голодной веры,
That looks tasty
Это выглядит вкусно,
That looks plenty
Это выглядит сильно,
This is hungry work
Это голодная работа.
[Chorus: 2x]
[Припев: 2x]
Take me to church
Отведи меня в церковь,
I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your light
Я буду поклоняться как собака алтарю твоего света,
I'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife
Я поведаю о своих грехах, а ты сможешь наточить нож,
Offer me that deathless death
Даровать мне бессмертную смерть,
Good God, let me give you my life
Боже, позволь отдать тебе мою жизнь.
No masters or kings when the ritual begins
Мы не господа и не короли, когда ритуал начинается.
There is no sweeter innocence than our gentle sin
Нет невинности слаще, чем наш нежный грех
In the madness and soil of that sad earthly scene
В безумстве и грязи этой земной обстановки.
Only then I am human
Только тогда я человек,
Only then I am clean
Только тогда я чист.
Amen. Amen. Amen
Аминь. Аминь. Аминь.
[Chorus: 2x]
[Припев: 2x]
Take me to church
Отведи меня в церковь,
I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your light
Я буду поклоняться как собака алтарю твоего света,
I'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife
Я поведаю о своих грехах, а ты сможешь наточить нож,
Offer me that deathless death
Даровать мне бессмертную смерть,
Good God, let me give you my life
Боже, позволь отдать тебе мою жизнь.
Take me to church
Take me to church (translated by Elizabeth)
My lover's got humor
My beloved is in a good mood
She's the giggle at a funeral
She giggles at the funeral
Knows everybody's disapproval
Knows that everyone condemns.
I should've worshipped her sooner
I should have honored her right away.
If the Heavens ever did speak
If heaven once said
She is the last true mouthpiece
She would be a faithful herald. 1
Every sunday's getting more bleak
Every Sunday is getting sadder
A fresh poison each week
With fresh poison every week.
'We were born sick,' you heard them say it
Hear everyone say: “We were born sick,” -
My church offers no absolution
My church doesn’t offer absolution
She tells me 'worship in the bedroom'
And my beloved tells me: “Bow in the bedroom.”
The only heaven I'll be sent to
The only paradise I will go to is
Is when I'm alone with you
This is when I'm alone with you.
I was born sick, but I love it
I was born sick, but I like it,
Command me to be well
Command hello, 2
Amen. Amen. Amen
Amen. Amen. Amen.
[Chorus: 2x]
[Chorus: 2x]
Take me to church
Take me to church
I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your light
I will worship like a dog the altar of your light
I'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife
I will tell about my sins, and you can sharpen a knife,
Offer me that deathless death
Grant Me Immortal Death, 3
Good god let me give you my life
God, let me give you my life.
If I'm a pagan of the good times
If I'm a pagan of better times
My lover's the sunlight
My favorite is their sunlight. 4
To keep the Goddess on my side
To keep the goddess by my side
She demands a sacrifice
She demands a sacrifice.
To drain the whole sea
Drain the whole sea
Get something shiny
Get something sparkling
Something meaty for the main course
Something meaty for the main course.
That's a fine looking high horse
Here is a pretty noble horse
What you got in the stable?
What's in your stall? 5
We've a lot of starving faithful
There is a lot of scary hunger in us
That looks tasty
It looks delicious
That looks plenty
It looks strong
This is hungry work
This is a hungry job.
[Chorus: 2x]
[Chorus: 2x]
Take me to church
Take me to church
I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your light
I will worship like a dog the altar of your light
I'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife
I will tell about my sins, and you can sharpen a knife,
Offer me that deathless death
Grant me immortal death
Good god let me give you my life
God, let me give you my life.
No masters or kings when the ritual begins
We are not gentlemen or kings when the ritual begins.
There is no sweeter innocence than our gentle sin
No innocence is sweeter than our gentle sin
In the madness and soil of that sad earthly scene
In the frenzy and filth of this earthly setting.
Only then I am human
Only then am I human
Only then I am clean
Only then am I clean.
Amen. Amen. Amen
Amen. Amen. Amen.
[Chorus: 2x]
[Chorus: 2x]
Take me to church
Take me to church
I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your light
I will worship like a dog the altar of your light
I'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife
I will tell about my sins, and you can sharpen a knife,
Offer me that deathless death
Grant me immortal death
Good god let me give you my life
God, let me give you my life.
