You lost faith in the human spirit
Ты утратил веру в человеческий дух,
You walk around like a ghost
Ты шныряешь по округе, как призрак,
And your star-spangled heart
И твое усыпанное звездами сердце
Took a train for the coast
Уехало вдаль,
And when you shine you're a hilltop mansion
И когда ты сияешь – ты, как особняк на холме,
So how'd you lose the light?
Ну и как ты умудрился потерять свое сверкание?
Was it blown by the wind
Оно рассеялось на ветру
In the still of the night?
В ночной тишине?
You're up against the wall
Ты прижат к стене.
Up against the wall
Прижат к стене,
There's something dying on the street
Ты утратил интерес к жизни. 1
When they knock you down
Когда тебя сбивают с ног,
You're gonna get back on your feet
Ты просто обязан встать.
('cause you can't stop now)
(Потому что ты теперь не можешь остановиться)
I always knew you as a kind of keeper
Я всегда считал тебя подобием хранителя,
A mother to a child
Как мать для своего дитя.
But your boys have grown soft
Но твои сыновья выросли немощными,
And your girls have gone wild
А дочери буйными.
From the blue ridge, to the black hills
От голубого хребта к черным холмам,
To the redwood sky
К кровавому закату...
A season may pass
Время может пройти,
But the dream doesn't die
Но мечта не умрет,
No don't you drop the ball
Только не оплошай. 2
Up against the wall
Ты прижат к стене,
There's something dying on the street
Ты утратил интерес к жизни.
When they knock you down
Когда тебя сбивают с ног,
You're gonna get back on your feet
Ты просто обязан встать.
('cause you can't stop now)
(Потому что ты теперь не можешь остановиться)
When they break your heart
Если тебе разобьют сердце
And when they cause your soul to mourn
И повергнут в траур душу,
Remember what I said,
Запомни то, что я сказал:
Boy, you was battle born
Парень, ты был рожден в бою
(No you can't stop now)
(Нет, ты теперь не можешь остановиться)
You was battle born
Ты был рожден в бою...
And when the night falls on the land
Когда ночь опускается на землю,
Are you haunted by the sound?
Тебя преследует этот звук?
It's gonna take more than a hand
Одному изменить ситуацию
To turn this thing around
Не получится. 3
Don't you lean it on me
Хватит надеяться на меня.
Rescue, set me free
Спаси, освободи меня!
Up against the wall
Ты прижат к стене,

Когда тебя сбивают с ног,
You're gonna get back on your feet

('cause you can't stop now)
(Потому что ты теперь не можешь остановиться)
Did they break your heart?
Если тебе разобьют сердце
And did they call your soul to mourn?
И повергнут в траур душу,
Remember what I said,
Запомни то, что я сказал:
Boy, you was battle born
Парень, ты был рожден в бою
('cause you can't stop now)
(Потому что ты теперь не можешь остановиться)
Come on show your face
Выйди, покажи свое лицо!
Come on give us one more spark
Давай, выбей еще одну искру!
We'll sing a song of fire
Мы споем песню об огне,
Lest we fall into the dark
Чтобы не пасть во тьму.
You never live, you never learn
Никогда не будешь жить - никогда не научишься,
You never shine, if you never burn
Никогда не засияешь, если не загоришься.
The rising tide, the undertow
Прилив, отлив,
The famine and the overflow
Недостаток и переизбыток...
The turn away, the welcome home
Поворот - добро пожаловать домой!
1 - дословно: Прижатое к стенке, что-то умирает на улице
2 - дословно: нет, не роняй шар
3 - дословно: понадобится больше, чем одна рука, чтобы изменить это к лучшему
You lost faith in the human spirit
You have lost faith in the human spirit
You walk around like a ghost
You snooping around like a ghost
And your star-spangled heart
And your star-studded heart
Took a train for the coast
Gone into the distance
And when you shine you're a hilltop mansion
And when you shine - you, like a mansion on a hill,
So how'd you lose the light?
Well, how did you manage to lose your sparkle?
Was it blown by the wind
It scattered in the wind
In the still of the night?
In the silence of the night?
You're up against the wall
You are pressed against the wall.
Up against the wall
Pressed against the wall
There's something dying on the street
You have lost interest in life. 1
When they knock you down
When they knock you down
You're gonna get back on your feet
You just have to get up.
('cause you can't stop now)
(Because you can't stop now)
I always knew you as a kind of keeper
I always thought you were like a keeper
A mother to a child
Like a mother to her child.
But your boys have grown soft
But your sons grew weak
And your girls have gone wild
And the daughters are violent.
From the blue ridge, to the black hills
From the blue ridge to the black hills
To the redwood sky
By the bloody sunset ...
A season may pass
Time may pass
But the dream doesn't die
But the dream will not die
No don't you drop the ball
Just don't blunder. 2
Up against the wall
You are pressed against the wall
There's something dying on the street
You have lost interest in life.
When they knock you down
When they knock you down
You're gonna get back on your feet
You just have to get up.
('cause you can't stop now)
(Because you can't stop now)
When they break your heart
If you break your heart
And when they cause your soul to mourn
And mourned soul
Remember what I said,
Remember what I said:
Boy, you was battle born
Boy you were born in battle
(No you can't stop now)
(No, you can't stop now)
You was battle born
You were born in battle ...
And when the night falls on the land
When the night falls to the ground
Are you haunted by the sound?
Are you haunted by this sound?
It's gonna take more than a hand
One make a difference
To turn this thing around
Will not work. 3
Don't you lean it on me
Stop hoping for me.
Rescue, set me free
Save me, set me free!
Up against the wall
You are pressed against the wall
There's something dying on the street
You have lost interest in life.

When they knock you down
You're gonna get back on your feet

('cause you can't stop now)
(Because you can't stop now)
Did they break your heart?
If you break your heart
And did they call your soul to mourn?
And mourned soul
Remember what I said,
Remember what I said:
Boy, you was battle born
Boy you were born in battle
('cause you can't stop now)
(Because you can't stop now)
Come on show your face
Come out, show your face!
Come on give us one more spark
Come on, knock out another spark!
We'll sing a song of fire
We sing a song about fire
Lest we fall into the dark
In order not to fall into darkness.
You never live, you never learn
You will never live, you will never learn
You never shine, if you never burn
You will never shine unless you catch fire.
The rising tide, the undertow
The tide
The famine and the overflow
Shortage and oversupply ...
The turn away, the welcome home
Turn - welcome home!
1 - literally: Pressed to the wall, something is dying on the street
2 - literally: no, don't drop the ball
3 - literally: it will take more than one hand to change it for the better
