Chris de Burgh - Moonlight and vodka

ЛУННЫЙ СВЕТ И ВОДКА

Немного свободный эквиритмический перевод
песни Криса де Бурга
Moonlight and vodka

Сделай мне выпить, смешай мне покрепче,
Товарищ, мне выпить, налей мне побольше,
Руки дрожат и шумит в голове
Кружится бар и муторно мне
Я ничтожен в этой чуждой стране.

Поют ребята, играют неплохо,
Сыграйте мне песню, не слишком печально,
С девчонками говорить не хочется мне
Еда или пиво — не бывает дрянней
И этот проклятый холод,
Этот проклятый холод.
В это трудно поверить,
Я не видел тепла столько дней…

Лунный свет и водка несите прочь,
В Москве за полночь,
В Лос Анжелесе уже ланч.
Пойте, парни, пойте.

Да, шпионаж — серьезное дело,
В печенках засело это «серьезное дело»…
Строит мне глазки девчонка одна,
Ее служба в КГБ опасна, трудна,
В этом «раю» она как лед холодна.

Лунный свет и водка несите прочь,
В светлый Лос Анжелес,
Не в московскую ночь,
Обратно на родину, в Штаты.

Moonlight and vodka
Chris de Burgh

Fix me a drink, make it a strong one,
Hey comrade, a drink, make it a long one,
My hands are shaking and my feet are numb,
My head is aching and the bar's going round,
And I'm so down, in this foreign town;

Tonight there's a band, it ain't such a bad one,
Play me a song, don't make it a sad one,
I can't even talk to these Russian girls,
The beer is lousy and the food is worse,
And it's so damn cold,
yes it's so damn cold,
I know it's hard to believe,
But I haven't been warm for a week;

Moonlight and vodka, takes me away,
Midnight in Moscow is lunchtime in L.A.,
Ooh play boys, play...

Espionage is a serious business,
Well I've had enough of this serious business,
That dancing girl is making eyes at me,
I'm sure she's working for the K.G.B.
In this paradise, ah cold as ice;

Moonlight and vodka, takes me away,
Midnight in Moscow is sunshine in L.A.,
Yes, in the good old U.S.A.
