Текст песни 12. Cat Stevens - Father And Son

Father And Son (оригинал Rod Stewart) / Отец и сын

[Father:]
[Отец:]
It's not time to make a change
Сегодня не время что-то менять,
Just relax, take it easy
Успокойся, прими всё как есть,
You're still young, that's your fault
Ты очень молод – в этом всё дело.
There's so much you have to know
Тебе предстоит так много узнать,
Find a girl, settle down
Найти девушку, остепениться,
If you want, you can marry
Если готов – можешь жениться.
Look at me, I am old
Погляди на меня, – я стар,
But I'm happy
Но счастлив.

I was once like you are now
Я когда-то был, как ты,
And I know that it's not easy
И я знаю, как непросто
To be calm when you've found
Удержаться, когда видишь:
Something going on
Что-то здесь не так.
But take your time, think a lot
Но погоди, обдумай всё,
Well think of everything you've got
Всё взвесь, что ценно лишь тебе,
For you will still be here tomorrow
Поскольку можешь не найти
But your dreams may not
Свою мечту в грядущем дне.

[Son:]
[Сын:]
How can I try to explain
Как же мне объяснить,
When I do he turns away again
Он вновь не хочет меня слушать,
It's always been the same
И так было всегда...
Same old story;
Старая история.
From the moment I could talk
С тех пор как я заговорил,
I was ordered to listen
Мне все приказывают слушать,
Now there's a way and I know
Сейчас я понял то, что выход
That I have to go away
Есть у меня один – уйти.
I know I have to go
Я понял – лишь уйти...

[Father:]
[Отец:]
It's not time to make a change
Сегодня не время что-то менять,
Just sit down and take it slowly
Ну-ка присядь, не спеши.
You're still young that's your fault
Ты очень молод, – в этом всё дело.
There's so much you have to go through
Тебе через многое нужно пройти:
Find a girl, settle down
Найти девушку, остепениться,
If you want, you can marry
Если готов – можешь жениться.
Look at me, I am old
Погляди на меня, – я стар,
But I'm happy
Но счастлив.

[Son:]
[Сын:]
All the times that I've cried
Я всё время переживал,
Keeping all the things I knew inside
Храня всё, что знал, в душе своей.
It's hard, but it's harder
Было сложно, но ещё сложней
To ignore it
Притворяться.
If they were right I'd agree
Будь они правы, я б согласился,
But it's them they know, not me
Но им важен... нет, не я.
Now there's a way and I know
Сейчас я понял то, что выход
That i have to go away
Есть у меня один – уйти.
I know I have to go
Я понял – лишь уйти...

Father and Son (Original Rod Stewart) / Father and Son

[Father:]
[Father:]
IT's Not Time to Make a Change
Today is not the time to change something,
Just Relax, Take IT Easy
Calm down, accept everything as it is,
You're Still Young, That's Your Fault
You are very young - this is the whole point.
There's So Much You Have To Know
You have to find out so much,
Find A Girl, Settle Down
Find a girl to be cooled
IF You Want, You Can Marry
If I'm ready - you can marry.
Look At Me, I Am OLD
Look at me - I am old
But I'm Happy
But happy.

I WAS ONCE LIKE YOU ARE NOW
I was once like you
And I Know That It's Not Easy
And I know how difficult
To Be Calm WHEN YOU'VE FOUND
To keep when you see:
Something Going ON.
Something is wrong here.
But Take Your Time, Think A Lot
But wait, consider everything
WELL THINK OF EVERYTHING YOU'VE GOT
All suspension that is valuable to you
FOR YOU WILL STILL BE Here Tomorrow
Since you can not find
But Your Dreams MAY NOT
His dream in the coming day.

[SON:]
[A son:]
How Can I TRY TO EXPLAIN
How can I explain
WHEN I DO HE TURNS AWAY AGAIN
He again does not want to listen to me,
IT's Always Been The Same
And so it was always ...
SAME OLD STORY;
Old story.
From the Moment i Could Talk
Since I spoke,
I Was Ordered to Listen
I all ordered to listen,
NOW THERE'S A WAY AND I KNOW
I now understand what
THAT I Have To Go Away
I have one one - go away.
I know i have to go
I understood - just go ...

[Father:]
[Father:]
IT's Not Time to Make a Change
Today is not the time to change something,
Just Sit Down and Take IT Slowly
Well, stern, do not rush.
You're Still Young Tat's Your Fault
You are very young, - this is the whole point.
There's So Much You Have To Go Through
You need to go through a lot:
Find A Girl, Settle Down
Find a girl to be cooled
IF You Want, You Can Marry
If I'm ready - you can marry.
Look At Me, I Am OLD
Look at me - I am old
But I'm Happy
But happy.

[SON:]
[A son:]
All The Times That I'Ve Cried
I worked all the time
Keeping All The Things I Knew Inside
Store everything that he knew in his soul.
IT'S Hard, But It's Harder
It was difficult, but even more difficult
To ignore it.
Pretend.
IF The Were Right i'd Agree
Whether they are right, I agreed
But It's Them They Know, Not Me
But they are important ... no, not me.
NOW THERE'S A WAY AND I KNOW
I now understand what
THAT I Have To Go Away
I have one one - go away.
I know i have to go
I understood - just go ...
