You Can Call Me Al (оригинал Paul Simon)
Можешь звать меня Эл (перевод Гошан )
A man walks down the street
Человек идет по улице.
He says why am I soft in the middle now
Он говорит: Почему теперь я оказался в такой передряге?
Why am I soft in the middle
Почему я оказался в такой передряге?
The rest of my life is so hard
Так трудно доживать эту жизнь.
I need a photo-opportunity
Мне нужна фотосессия,
I want a shot at redemption
Я хочу спасения.
Don't want to end up a cartoon
Не хочу закончить мультяшкой
In a cartoon graveyard
На мультяшном кладбище.
Bonedigger Bonedigger
Костеискатели, Костеискатели.
Dogs in the moonlight
Псы в лунном свете.
Far away my well-lit door
Далеко моя хорошо освещенная дверь.
Mr. Beerbelly Beerbelly
Мистер Пивной Животик, Пивной Животик,
Get these mutts away from me
Убери от меня этих идиотов.
You know I don't find this stuff amusing anymore
Знаешь, эта дрянь меня уже не забавляет.
[Chorus:]
[Припев:]
If you'll be my bodyguard
Если станешь моим телохранителем,
I can be your long lost pal
Я стану твоим старым потерянным другом,
I can call you Betty
Я смогу называть тебя Бетти,
And Betty when you call me
А ты, Бетти, когда будешь звать меня,
You can call me Al
Можешь звать меня Эл.
A man walks down the street
Человек идет по улице.
He says why am I short of attention
Он говорит: Почему мне уделяют так мало внимания?
Got a short little span of attention
Мне уделяют совсем мало внимания.
And wo my nights are so long
Почему мои ночи так длинны?
Where's my wife and family
Где мои жена и семья?
What if I die here
Что если я умру здесь?
Who'll be my role-model
Кто будет моим образцом для подражания?
Now that my role-model is
Мой образец для подражания уже
Gone Gone
В прошлом, в прошлом.
He ducked back down the alley
Он убежал по аллее
With some roly-poly little bat-faced girl
С толстой коротышкой с пропитым лицом.
All along along
Всегда, всегда
There were incidents and accidents
Были происшествия и катастрофы,
There were hints and allegations
Были намеки и заявления.
[Chorus]
[Припев)
A man walks down the street
Человек идет по улице.
It's a street in a strange world
Это улица странного мира.
Maybe it's the Third World
Возможно, это Третий Мир.
Maybe it's his first time around
Возможно, он вышел прогуляться здесь впервые.
He doesn't speak the language
Он не говорит на этом языке,
He holds no currency
У него нет валюты.
He is a foreign man
Он чужак.
He is surrounded by the sound, the sound
Он окружен звуками, звуками.
Cattle in the marketplace
Скот на ярмарке,
Scatterlings and orphanages
Бродяги и сироты.
He looks around, around
Он смотрит вокруг, вокруг.
He sees angels in the architecture
Он видит ангелов и архитектуру,
Spinning in infinity
В пряденных в бесконечность.
He says Amen! and Hallelujah!
Он говорит: Аминь! и Аллилуйя!
[Chorus]
[Припев]

You Can Call Me Al (translated by Goshan)
A man walks down the street
A man walks down the street.
He says why am I soft in the middle now
He says: Why am I in such a mess now?
Why am I soft in the middle
Why am I in such a mess?
The rest of my life is so hard
It's so hard to live out this life.
I need a photo-opportunity
I need a photo shoot
I want a shot at redemption
I want salvation.
Don't want to end up a cartoon
I don't want to end up with a cartoon
In a cartoon graveyard
In a cartoon graveyard.
Bonedigger bonedigger
Bone hunters, Bone hunters.
Dogs in the moonlight
Dogs in the moonlight.
Far away my well-lit door
Far away is my well-lit door.
Mr. Beerbelly Beerbelly
Mister Beer Tummy, Beer Tummy,
Get these mutts away from me
Get these idiots off me.
You know I don't find this stuff amusing anymore
You know, this stuff doesn't amuse me anymore.
[Chorus:]
[Chorus:]
If you'll be my bodyguard
If you become my bodyguard
I can be your long lost pal
I will be your old lost friend
I can call you Betty
I can call you Betty
And Betty when you call me
And you, Betty, when you call me
You can call me Al
You can call me Al.
A man walks down the street
A man walks down the street.
He says why am I short of attention
He says: Why do I get so little attention?
Got a short little span of attention
I get very little attention.
And wo my nights are so long
Why are my nights so long?
Where's my wife and family
Where are my wife and family?
What if I die here
What if I die here?
Who'll be my role-model
Who will be my role model?
Now that my role-model is
My role model already
Gone Gone
In the past, in the past.
He ducked back down the alley
He ran away down the alley
With some roly-poly little bat-faced girl
With a fat little man with a sunken face.
All along along
Always always
There were incidents and accidents
There were accidents and disasters
There were hints and allegations
There were hints and statements.
[Chorus]
[Chorus)
A man walks down the street
A man walks down the street.
It's a street in a strange world
This is a street in a strange world.
Maybe it's the Third World
Perhaps this is the Third World.
Maybe it's his first time around
Perhaps he went out for a walk here for the first time.
He doesn't speak the language
He does not speak this language
He holds no currency
He has no currency.
He is a foreign man
He's a stranger.
He is surrounded by the sound, the sound
He is surrounded by sounds, sounds.
Cattle in the marketplace
Cattle at the fair
Scatterlings and orphanages
Tramps and orphans.
He looks around, around
He looks around, around.
He sees angels in the architecture
He sees angels and architecture
Spinning in infinity
Spun into infinity.
He says Amen! and Hallelujah!
He says: Amen! and Hallelujah!
[Chorus]
