Перевод песни

Песня: Cloud Nine*
The childhood part of my life wasn't very pretty
You see, I was born and raised in the slums of the city
It was a one-room shack we slept in, the children beside me
We hardly had enough food or room to sleep
It was a hard time
Needed somethin' to ease my troubled mind.

Ooooh listen
Father didn't know the meaning of work
He disrespected Mama and treated us like dirt
I left home seekin' a job that I never did find
Depressed and down-hearted, I took to Cloud Nine

I'm doing fine, up here on Cloud Nine
Listen, one more time
I'm doing fine, up here on Cloud Nine

Folks now they tell me
They say, "Give yourself a chance and don't let life pass you by"
But the world around you is a rat race where only the strong survive
It's a dog-eat-dog world and that ain't no lie (ain't no lie)
Listen, it ain't even safe no more, to walk the streets at night

I'm doing fine on Cloud Nine
Let me tell you about Cloud Nine

You can be what you wanna be
(Cloud Nine) You ain't got no responsibility
(Cloud Nine) Every man, every man is free
(Cloud Nine) You're a million miles from reality (Reality)

I'm gonna sail up, up, higher, up, up
Up, up and away
Cloud Nine

I wanna say I love the life I live
And I'm gonna live the life I love
Up here on Cloud Nine
I'm riding high on Cloud Nine

You're as free as a bird in flight
(Cloud Nine) There's no difference between day and night
(Cloud Nine) It's a world of love and harmony
(Cloud Nine) You're a million miles from reality (Reality)

I'm gonna sail up, up, higher, up, up
Up, up and away
Cloud Nine

You can be what you wanna be
(Cloud Nine) You ain't got no responsibility
(Cloud Nine) Every man in his mind is free
(Cloud Nine) You're a million miles from reality
(Cloud Nine) You can be what you wanna be


* — Кавер на композицию Cloud Nine в оригинальном исполнении The Temptations

Перевод песни:
Седьмое небо

Детская часть моей жизни была не слишком благополучной.
Понимаете, я родился и вырос в городских трущобах.
Мы спали, сгрудившись с другими детьми, в однокомнатной лачуге.
Нам едва хватало еды и места для сна.
Это были тяжелые времена.
Мне было нужно что-то, чтобы развеять тяжелые мысли.

О, послушайте!..... [открыть перевод]
