Текст песни
= Nature Boy =
(Слова и музыка Eden Ahbez)
Наиболее известное исполнение: Nat King Cole.
Другие интерпретации: Frank Sinatra, Sara Vaughn, Dick Haymes
There was a boy
a very strange, enchanted boy
They say he wandered very far, very far
Over land and sea,
A little shy and sad of eye
But very wise was he.
And then one day,
One magic day, he passed my way.
And while we spoke of many things,
Fools and kings,
This he said to me,
The greatest thing
you ever learn
is just to love
and be loved in return...
= ДИТЯ ПРИРОДЫ =
(Русский перевод)
был один паренек
очень странный, чудной чудак
говорят он заплутал так далеко, издалека
по морям-горам,
немного робок, с грустинкой в глазах
но был мудрен не по годам
и вот одним
прекрасным днем, он встретился в пути моем
мы говорили о многих вещах,
о глупцах и королях,
и это он сказал тогда:
в этом мире земном
дара большего нет
чем просто любить
и быть любимым в ответ

= CHILD OF NATURE =
(Russian translation)
there was one boy
very strange, strange weirdo
they say he got lost so far, from afar
across the seas-mountains,
a little shy, with a sadness in his eyes
but was tricky beyond his years
and here's one
on a beautiful day, he met on my way
we talked about many things
about fools and kings,
and this he said then:
in this earthly world
there is no more gift
than just love
and be loved in return
