Текст песни Iron Maiden-Piece of Mind - 02.Cross-Eyed Mary

Косоглазая Мэри (перевод Владимир Украинцев из Новосибирска)

Кто бы остался бедняком, попрошайкой иль вором,
Если б к нему в руки попался богач?
Кто украл бы у младенца конфетку,
Если б мог нажиться на богаче?

Косоглазая Мэри снова на большой дороге.
Она не заключает контрактов, но всегда в игре.
Обедает в Хэмпстеде бесплатной похлебкой,
Аборты ей делают в школе.

Смеется на детской площадке, не связывается с молодыми,
Лучше займется похотливыми стариками.
А может быть внимание привлек и Акваланг,
Который наблюдает за утехами.

Косоглазой Мэри приходится нелегко.
Она - девочка для бедняков, и почти задаром.
Она - обирает богачей, но ее услуги хороши.
Она - Хайгетский Робин Гуд, помогает жить беднякам.

Смеется на детской площадке, не связывается с молодыми,
Лучше займется похотливыми стариками.
А может быть внимание привлек и Акваланг,
Который наблюдает за утехами.

Косоглазая Мэри снова на большой дороге.
Она не заключает контрактов, но всегда в игре.
Обедает в Хэмпстеде бесплатной похлебкой,
Аборты ей делают в школе.

Косоглазая Мэри...
Косоглазая Мэри...

*Акваланг - название альбома группы "Jethro Tull" - "Aqualung", в данной песне - один из клиентов Косоглазой Мэри

Cross-Eyed Mary (оригинал Iron Maiden*)

Who would be a poor man, a beggerman, a thief,
If he had a rich man in his hand?
Who would steal the candy from a laughing baby's mouth,
If he could take it from the money man?

Cross-eyed Mary goes jumping in again.
She signs no contract, but she always plays the game.
She dines in Hampstead village on expense accounted gruel,
And the jack knife barber drops her off at school.

Laughing in the playground, gets no kicks from little boys,
Would rather make it with a letching gray.
Or maybe her attention is drawn by Aqualung,
Who watches through the railings as they play.

Cross-eyed Mary finds it hard to get along.
She's a poor man's rich girl, and she'll do it for a song.
She's a rich man's stealer, but her favour's good and strong.
She's the Robin Hood of Highgate, helps the poor man get along.

Laughing in the playground, gets no kicks from little boys,
Would rather make it with a letching gray.
Or maybe her attention is drawn by Aqualung,
Who watches through the railings as they play.

Cross-eyed Mary goes jumping in again.
She signs no contract, but she always plays the game.
She dines in Hampstead village on expense accounted gruel,
And the jack knife barber drops her off at school.

Cross-Eyed Mary...
Cross-Eyed Mary...

Skooting Mary (Vladimir Ukrainians Translation from Novosibirsk)

Whoever remained the poor man, begging Ile Thief,
If Bogache was caught to him?
Who would stole a candy in the baby
If I could get in richer?

Skooting Mary again on a big road.
She does not contract contracts, but always in the game.
Lunch in Hampeeda free chowder,
Abortion her do in school.

Laughs at the playground, does not bind to young,
Better will deal with lustful old men.
And there may be attention to both aqualang
Which is watching joy.

Space of Mary has to be not easy.
She is a girl for the poor, and almost the task.
She is inhabit the rich, but her services are good.
She is Khaighetsky Robin Hood, helps to live poor people.

Laughs at the playground, does not bind to young,
Better will deal with lustful old men.
And there may be attention to both aqualang
Which is watching joy.

Skooting Mary again on a big road.
She does not contract contracts, but always in the game.
Lunch in Hampeeda free chowder,
Abortion her do in school.

Skooting Mary ...
Skooting Mary ...

Cross-Eyed Mary (Original Iron Maiden *)

Who Would be A Poor Man, a Beggerman, a thief,
If he HAD A RICH MAN IN HIS HAND?
Who Would Steal The Candy From A Laughing Baby's Mouth
If He Could Take It From MAN?

Cross-Eyed Mary Goes Jumping in Again.
She Signs No Contract, But She Always Plays The Game.
She dines in Hampstead Village ON Expense Accounted Gruel,
And The Jack Knife Barber Drops Her Off at School.

Laughing in the Playground, Gets No Kicks From Little Boys,
Would Rather Make It Would Rather Make IT.
Or Maybe Her Attention Is Drawn by Aqualung,
WHO WATCHES THROUGH THE RAILINGS AS THEY PLAY.

Cross-eyed Mary Finds IT Hard to Get Along.
She's A Poor Man's Rich Girl, and She'll Do It For A Song.
She's A Rich Man's Stealer, Buther Favor's Good and Strong.
She's The Robin Hood of Highgate, Helps The Poor Man Get Along.

Laughing in the Playground, Gets No Kicks From Little Boys,
Would Rather Make It Would Rather Make IT.
Or Maybe Her Attention Is Drawn by Aqualung,
WHO WATCHES THROUGH THE RAILINGS AS THEY PLAY.

Cross-Eyed Mary Goes Jumping in Again.
She Signs No Contract, But She Always Plays The Game.
She dines in Hampstead Village ON Expense Accounted Gruel,
And The Jack Knife Barber Drops Her Off at School.

Cross-Eyed Mary ...
Cross-Eyed Mary ...
