Текст песни Tex Williams - Smoke Smoke Smoke That Cigarette

Now I'm a fellow with a heart of gold,

Итак, я парень с золотым сердцем,

With the ways of a gentleman I've been told

Джентльмен, как мне говорили,

The kind of fellow that wouldn't even harm a fly.

Который и мухи не обидит.

But if me and a certain character met

Но если я встречу одного типа,

The guy that invented the cigarette

Того, кто изобрёл сигареты,

I'd murder that son-of-a-gun in the first degree.

Я прибью этого с**иного сына, не задумываясь!

It ain't cause I don't smoke myself,

И это не потому, что я сам не курю,

And I don't reckon that it'll harm your health.

И не потому, что курение вредит здоровью.

Smoked all my life and I ain't dead yet.

Я курю всю свою жизнь – пока не сдох.

But nicotine slaves are all the same!

Но никотин – это всё же рабство!

At a pettin' party or a poker game

Ведь даже на интимных свиданиях или игре в покер

Everything gotta stop while they have a cigarette.

Все останавливаются, пока не докурят сигаретку.

Smoke, smoke, smoke that cigarette!

Выкури, выкури, выкури сигаретку!

Puff, puff, puff and if you smoke yourself to death!

Дыми, дыми, дыми, пока не накуришься до смерти!

Tell St. Peter at the Golden Gate

Скажи святому Петру, который встретит тебя у Золотых Ворот,

That you hate to make him wait,

Что тебе ой как не нравится заставлять его ждать,

But you just gotta have another cigarette.

Но ты просто должен выкурить ещё одну сигаретку!

Now in a game of chance the other night

А раз мы играли в картишки,

Old Dame Fortune was a-doin' me right.

И старушка-Удача мне улыбалась.

The kings and the queens just kept on comin' round.

Короли и дамы так и крутились в руках.

And I got a full and I bet 'em high

У меня всё было отлично, я почти победил,

But my bluff didn't work on a certain guy.

Но был один приятель, который не купился на мой блеф.

He just kept on raisin' and layin' that money down.

Он всё поднимал ставку и не жалел денег.

Now he'd raise me and I'd raise him,

Поднял ставку он, потом и я.

I sweated blood, gotta sink or swim!

Я обливался холодным потом: пан или пропал!

He finally called and didn't even raise the bet.

Он, наконец, ответил и даже не поднял ставку!

So I said "aces full pal, how 'bout you?"

Тогда я сказал: "Приятель, у меня Фулл Хаус, (1) что у тебя?"

He said "I'll tell you in a minute or two,

Он ответил: "Я скажу тебе через пару минут,

But right now, I gotta have me a cigarette"

А сейчас я просто должен выкурить сигаретку!"

Smoke, smoke, smoke that cigarette!

Выкури, выкури, выкури сигаретку!

Puff, puff, puff and if you smoke yourself to death!

Дыми, дыми, дыми, пока не накуришься до смерти!

Tell St. Peter at the Golden Gate

Скажи святому Петру, который встретит тебя у Золотых Ворот,

That you hates to make him wait,

Что тебе ой как не нравится заставлять его ждать,

But you just gotta have another cigarette.

Но ты просто должен выкурить ещё одну сигаретку!

Ah, smoke it! Hah! Yes! Yes! Yes!

Ах! Выкури же её! Ха! Да! Да! Да!

The other night I had a date

Однажды я был на свидании

With the cutest little girl in 48 States:

С самой хорошенькой малышкой во всех 48 штатах: (2)

A highbred, uptown, fancy little dame.

Изысканной, богатенькой и элегантной дамочкой.

She said she loved me and it seemed to me

Она сказала, что любит меня, и мне показалось,

That things were 'bout like t

Now I'm a fellow with a heart of gold,

So I'm a guy with a golden heart

With the ways of a gentleman I've been told

Gentleman, I was told

The kind of fellow that wouldn't even harm a fly.

Which will not offend flies.

But if me and a certain character met

But if I meet one type,

The guy that invented the cigarette

The one who invented cigarettes

I'd murder that son-of-a-gun in the first degree.

I will beat this with ** another son, without hesitation!

It ain't cause I don't smoke myself,

And that’s not because I don’t smoke myself,

And I don't reckon that it'll harm your health.

And not because smoking harms health.

Smoked all my life and I ain't dead yet.

I smoke all my life - until I die.

But nicotine slaves are all the same!

But nicotine is still slavery!

At a pettin 'party or a poker game

After all, even on intimate dates or playing poker

Everything gotta stop while they have a cigarette.

Everyone stops until they have finished smoking a cigarette.

Smoke, smoke, smoke that cigarette!

Smoke, smoke, smoke a cigarette!

Puff, puff, puff and if you smoke yourself to death!

Smoke, smoke, smoke until you smoke to death!

Tell St. Peter at the Golden Gate

Tell Saint Peter who will meet you at the Golden Gate

That you hate to make him wait,

What do you like how not to make him wait

But you just gotta have another cigarette.

But you just have to smoke another cigarette!

Now in a game of chance the other night

And since we played cards

Old Dame Fortune was a-doin 'me right.

And the old woman-Luck smiled at me.

The kings and the queens just kept on comin 'round.

Kings and ladies were spinning in their hands.

And I got a full and I bet 'em high

Everything was fine with me, I almost won

But my bluff didn't work on a certain guy.

But there was one friend who didn’t buy my bluff.

He just kept on raisin 'and layin' that money down.

He kept raising the bet and spared no money.

Now he'd raise me and I'd raise him,

He raised the bet, and then I.

I sweated blood, gotta sink or swim!

I sweated coldly: pan or gone!

He finally called and didn't even raise the bet.

He finally answered and didn’t even raise a bet!

So I said "aces full pal, how 'bout you?"

Then I said: "Buddy, I have Full House, (1) what do you have?"

He said "I'll tell you in a minute or two,

He replied: "I will tell you in a couple of minutes,

But right now, I gotta have me a cigarette "

And now I just have to smoke a cigarette! "

Smoke, smoke, smoke that cigarette!

Smoke, smoke, smoke a cigarette!

Puff, puff, puff and if you smoke yourself to death!

Smoke, smoke, smoke until you smoke to death!

Tell St. Peter at the Golden Gate

Tell Saint Peter who will meet you at the Golden Gate

That you hates to make him wait,

What do you like how not to make him wait

But you just gotta have another cigarette.

But you just have to smoke another cigarette!

Ah, smoke it! Hah! Yes! Yes! Yes!

Oh! Smoke her! Ha! Yes! Yes! Yes!

The other night I had a date

I was on a date once

With the cutest little girl in 48 States:

With the prettiest babe in all 48 states: (2)

A highbred, uptown, fancy little dame.

Refined, rich and elegant lady.

She said she loved me and it seemed to me

She said she loved me, and it seemed to me

That things were 'bout like t
