Текст песни
And who by fire, who by water,
...И кто-то греется у огня, кто-то дремлет у самой воды,
Who in the sunshine, who in the night time,
И кто-то встречает солнце, а кто-то ложится спать,
Who by high ordeal, who by common trial,
Кто-то терпит великие бедствия, кто-то - обычные неурядицы,
Who in your merry merry month of may,
Кто-то празднует веселый месяц май,
Who by very slow decay,
Кто-то бледнеет и чахнет...
And who shall I say is calling?
И кто же, - спрашиваю я, - зовет нас?..
And who in her lonely slip, who by barbiturate,
Кто-то совершает ошибки, кто-то сидит на барбитуратах,
Who in these realms of love, who by something blunt,
Кто-то влюблен, кто-то - ослеплен,
And who by avalanche, who by powder,
Кто-то гибнет в горах, кто-то - от порошка,
Who for his greed, who for his hunger,
Кто-то умирает от алчности, кто-то - от голода...
And who shall I say is calling?
И кто же, - спрашиваю я, - зовет нас?..
And who by brave assent, who by accident,
...Кто-то решается сам, у кого-то это выходит само собой, случайно;
Who in solitude, who in this mirror,
Кто-то в сидит одиночестве, кто-то смотрит в зеркало,
Who by his lady's command, who by his own hand,
Кто-то во всем послушен своей леди, кто-то - сам себе указ,
Who in mortal chains, who in power,
Кто-то - при смерти, кто-то - при власти...
And who shall I say is calling?
...И кто же, - спрашиваю я, - зовет нас?..
Перевод песни
And who by fire, who by water,
... And someone is warming himself by the fire, someone is sleeping by the very water,
Who in the sunshine, who in the night time,
And someone meets the sun, and someone goes to bed,
Who by high ordeal, who by common trial,
Some are suffering great disasters, some are ordinary troubles,
Who in your merry merry month of may,
Someone is celebrating the merry month of May,
Who by very slow decay,
Someone turns pale and withers ...
And who shall I say is calling?
And who, I ask, is calling us? ..
And who in her lonely slip, who by barbiturate,
Some make mistakes, some sit on barbiturates
Who in these realms of love, who by something blunt,
Someone is in love, someone is blinded,
And who by avalanche, who by powder,
Someone dies in the mountains, someone from powder,
Who for his greed, who for his hunger,
Someone dies of greed, someone of hunger ...
And who shall I say is calling?
And who, I ask, is calling us? ..
And who by brave assent, who by accident,
... Someone decides on his own, someone comes out by itself, by accident;
Who in solitude, who in this mirror,
Someone is sitting alone, someone is looking in the mirror,
Who by his lady's command, who by his own hand,
Someone is obedient to his lady in everything, someone is a decree to himself,
Who in mortal chains, who in power,
Someone is dying, someone is in power ...
And who shall I say is calling?
... And who, I ask, is calling us? ..
