Исполнитель: Joe Cocker

Перевод песни

Песня: Bird on a Wire*
Like a bird on the wire,
Like a drunk in a midnight choir
I have tried in my way to be free.

Like a worm on a hook,
Like a knight from some old fashioned book
I have saved all my ribbons for thee.

If I, if I have been unkind,
I hope that you can just let it go by.
If I, if I have been untrue
I hope you know it was never to you.

Like a baby, stillborn,
Like a beast with his horn
I have torn everyone who reached out for me.

But I swear by this song
And by all that I have done wrong
I will make it all up to thee.

I saw a beggar
Leaning on his wooden crutch,
He said to me, "You must not ask for so much."

And a pretty woman
Leaning in her darkened door,
She cried to me, "Hey, why not ask for more?"

Oh like a bird on the wire,
like a drunk in a midnight choir
I have tried in my way to be free.

Перевод песни:
Птица на проводах

Как птица на проводах,
Как пьяный в полуночном хоре
Я пытался быть по-своему свободным.

Как червь на крючке,
Словно рыцарь из старомодной книги,
Я хранил все свои ленты для тебя.
