Текст песни
All the old paintings on the tombs
They do the sand dance don't you know...
Пляшущие древние египтяне на гробницах-пирамидах
Демонстрируют танец песка, неизвестный и непонятный...
If they move too quick (oh whey oh)
They're falling down like a domino
Если они двигаются слишком уж быстро (о, е, о)
То они падают друг за дружкой, как доминошки...
All the bazaar men by the Nile
They got the money on a bet
Все эти базарные люди с Нила
Любят разводить лохов на деньги
Gold crocodiles (oh whey oh)
They snap their teeth on your cigarette
Золотые крокодилы (о, е, о)
Так и наровят цапнуть зубами вашу сигаретку!
Foreign types with the hookah pipes say...
Ay oh whey oh, ay oh whey oh...
Иностранные типы, покуривая кальян, говорят так...
о, е, о... о, е, о...
Walk like an Egyptian!
Ходите как Египтяне!
(сойдете за своих)
Blonde waitresses take their trays
They spin around and they cross the floor
Блондинки официантки берут подносы
Они ходят с ними туда-сюда, вокруг и около...
They've got the moves (oh whey oh)
You drop your drink then they bring you more
Они научились правильно ходить (о, е, о)
Уже заглотил стаканчик? Счас они притаранят тебе еще...
All the school kids so sick of books
They like the punk and the metal band
Все школьники устали от учебы
Они любят панк-рок, металл и прочее дерьмо (рэп)
When the buzzer rings (oh whey oh)
They're walking like an Egyptian
Когда звенит звонок на перемену (о, свобода!)
Они ходят как Египтяне (ибо, круто!)
All the kids in the marketplace say
Ay oh whey oh, ay oh whey oh
Все дети на базаре говорят так...
о, е, о... о, е, о...
Walk like an Egyptian...
Ходите как Египтяне!
(сойдете за наших)
Slide your feet up the street bend your back
Shift your arm then you pull it back
Двигайте ногами, задницу открячьте!
Одна рука за спину, другая вперед!
Life is hard you know (oh whey oh)
So strike a pose on a Cadillac
Жизнь трудна, вы это знаете (о, да...)
Так попозируйте перед этим Кадиллаком (станет легче)
If you want to find all the cops
They're hanging out in the donut shop
Жизнь заставила вызвать крупный наряд полиции?
Они сейчас все болтаются в магазине, кушают пончики
They sing and dance (oh whey oh)
Spin the clubs cruise down the block
Они поют и танцуют
Побросав свои дубинки куда попало...
All the Japanese with their yen
Японцы со своей йеной...
The party boys call the Kremlin
Веселые русские парни со своим рублем...
And the Chinese know (oh whey oh)
They walk the line like Egyptian
И китайцы знают секрет успеха (о, е, о)
Они ходят строго по прямой, как Египтяне!
All the cops in the donut shop say
Ay oh whey oh, ay oh whey oh
Все полицейские, объевшись пончиков, говорят так... о, е, о... о, е, о...
Walk like an Egyptian
Walk like an Egyptian
Ходите как Египтяне!
(в целях собственной безопасности,
чтобы мы могли отличить вас от преступников)
Перевод песни
All the old paintings on the tombs
They do the sand dance don't you know ...
Ancient Egyptians dancing on the pyramid tombs
Demonstrate a dance of sand, unknown and incomprehensible ...
If they move too quick (oh whey oh)
They're falling down like a domino
If they move too fast (oh, e, oh)
Then they fall one after another, like dominoes ...
All the bazaar men by the Nile
They got the money on a bet
All these market people from the Nile
They like to breed suckers for money
Gold crocodiles (oh whey oh)
They snap their teeth on your cigarette
Golden crocodiles (oh, e, oh)
And so they will snatch your cigarette with their teeth!
Foreign types with the hookah pipes say ...
Ay oh whey oh, ay oh whey oh ...
Foreign types, smoking a hookah, say this ...
oh, e, oh ... oh, e, oh ...
Walk like an Egyptian!
Walk like Egyptians!
(pass for your own)
Blonde waitresses take their trays
They spin around and they cross the floor
Blonde waitresses take trays
They walk with them back and forth, around and around ...
They've got the moves (oh whey oh)
You drop your drink then they bring you more
They learned to walk properly (oh, e, oh)
Already swallowed a glass? Wait, they will bother you again ...
All the school kids so sick of books
They like the punk and the metal band
All schoolchildren are tired of studying
They like punk rock, metal and shit like that (rap)
When the buzzer rings (oh whey oh)
They're walking like an Egyptian
When the recess bell rings (oh freedom!)
They walk like Egyptians (because, cool!)
All the kids in the marketplace say
Ay oh whey oh, ay oh whey oh
All the children in the bazaar say this ...
oh, e, oh ... oh, e, oh ...
Walk like an Egyptian ...
Walk like Egyptians!
(pass for ours)
Slide your feet up the street bend your back
Shift your arm then you pull it back
Move your legs, turn your ass off!
One hand behind the back, the other forward!
Life is hard you know (oh whey oh)
So strike a pose on a Cadillac
Life is hard you know it (oh yeah ...)
So pose in front of this Cadillac (it gets easier)
If you want to find all the cops
They're hanging out in the donut shop
Life made you call a large police squad?
They're all hanging out in the store now eating donuts
They sing and dance (oh whey oh)
Spin the clubs cruise down the block
They sing and dance
Throwing my clubs anywhere ...
All the Japanese with their yen
The Japanese with their yen ...
The party boys call the Kremlin
Cheerful Russian guys with their own ruble ...
And the Chinese know (oh whey oh)
They walk the line like Egyptian
And the Chinese know the secret of success (oh, e, oh)
They walk in a straight line like the Egyptians!
All the cops in the donut shop say
Ay oh whey oh, ay oh whey oh
All the cops, having gorged on donuts, say so ... oh, e, oh ... oh, e, oh ...
Walk like an Egyptian
Walk like an Egyptian
Walk like Egyptians!
(for your own safety,
so we can distinguish you from criminals)
