Lamplighter Перевод песни Фонарщик

“Lamplighter”
Prologue
They say on an old street,
Where the houses grew tired of waiting,
Every evening, standing straight,
An old man would go out to light the lamps.
He was not rich, that elder,
With no ranks, no medals, no ambitions.
He simply made the world a little brighter,
With the light of little flames.

Verse 1
Every evening, in rain and wind,
He would light the lanterns one by one.
And it seemed that by doing this,
He was warming someone’s soul.
Someone was walking home exhausted,
Someone was crying by the window...
And the lamp kept burning stubbornly,
Like a quiet little star.

Chorus
Light the way, lamplighter,
While the night is spreading over the world.
Maybe someone for many years
Has been hoping for just this beam of light.
Let them not remember your name,
Let the years be forgotten...
The main thing is that it keeps shining,
Your star for people to see.

Verse 2
Once a boy asked the old man:
“Who is all this work for?
If by morning everything goes dark,
And no one ever names you?”
The old man smiled softly:
“Do you see the light in someone’s window?
If someone needs it,
Then I need it too.”

Bridge
The years went by... And on one cold evening,
He did not come along his path.
But the city grew darker,
As if it had lost something.

Verse 3
Then one day, at sunset,
That boy came out once more.
He took the lantern with a trembling hand
And lit it without a word.
Since that time, through passing years,
The light has never gone out.
Because kindness
Passes on through us.

Chorus
Light the way, lamplighter,
Even when the heart is struggling.
The smallest flame
Can become someone’s sun.
And when your journey comes to an end,
Do not grieve as you depart...
Someone will carry on
The light you once ignited.
