Перевод песни

Песня: The Boxer
I am just a poor boy
Though my story's seldom told
I have squandered my resistance
For a pocketful of mumbles, such are promises
All lies and jest, still a man hears
What he wants to hear and disregards the rest, mmm

When I left my home and my family,
I was no more than a boy
In the company of strangers
In the quiet of the railway station,
Runnin' scared, laying low
Seeking out the poorer quarters,
Where the ragged people go
Looking for the places only they would know

[Refrain:]
Lie la lie, lie la lie la lie la lie
Lie la lie, lie la lie la lie la lie, la la lа la lie

Asking only workman's wages,
I come lookin' for a job but I get no offers
Just a come-on from the whores on 7th Avenue
I do declare, there were times when I was so lonesome
I took some comfort there, lalalalalala

[Refrain:]
Lie la lie, lie la lie la lie la lie
Lie la lie, lie la lie la lie la lie, la la lа la lie

And I'm laying out my winter clothes
And wishing I was gone goin' home
Where the New York City winters aren't bleedin' me
Leadin' me, goin' home

In the clearing stands a boxer,
And a fighter by his trade
And he carries the reminders
Of every glove that laid him down or cut him
'Til he cried out in his anger and his shame
"I am leaving, I am leaving",
But the fighter still remains

Lie la lie, lie la la la lie la lie
Lie la lie, lie la la la lie la lie
La la la la lie...

Перевод песни:
Боксёр

Я лишь бедный парень,
Обо мне не услышите вы.
Я отринул сопротивление,
Поддавшись целой горе невнятных обещаний,
Оказавшихся в итоге лишь несерьезной ложью, однако
Человек таков, что слышит лишь то, что хочет слышать, не обращая внимания на всё остальное, м-м-м...

Когда я покинул дом и родных,..... [открыть перевод]
