Wellerman

Наш с пылу с жару перевод прекрасной песни: Корыто с именем «Билл О Ши», На нем ходили лишь алкаши, И песнями они глуши- ли ветра жуткий вой. Припев: Мы Веллермана ждем, Он привезет сахар чай и ром, Расправимся с китом И повернем домой. Едва только третья прошла среда, Реального встретили мы кита, И кэп сказал «Слушай все сюда, Кит этот будет мой». Припев: Спустили шлюпки за тем китом, Гарпун вогнали в него потом, Но кит-засранец махнул хвостом, И скрылся под водой. Припев: Дымится линь и крошится борт, Но капитан грозен и уперт, А кит беснуется как черт И тянет за собой. Припев: И вот уже целых сорок дней Кит тащит шлюпку и нас на ней, Все остальные уже на дне, И длится смертный бой. Припев: Хоть шторм, хоть шквал, хоть густой туман - Всегда приходит к нам Веллерман, Коль будет сахар, чай и ром - Расправимся с китом. Припев:(Х2) There once was a ship that put to sea And the name of that ship was the Billy o’ Tea The winds blew hard, her bow dipped down Blow, me bully boys, blow (Huh!) Soon may the Wellerman come To bring us sugar and tea and rum One day, when the tonguin’ is done We’ll take our leave and go She had not been two weeks from shore When down on her, a right whale bore The captain called all hands and swore He’d take that whale in tow (Hah!) Soon may the Wellerman come To bring us sugar and tea and rum One day, when the tonguin’ is done We’ll take our leave and go Before the boat had hit the water The whale’s tail came up and caught her All hands to the side, harpooned and fought her When she dived down below (Huh!) Soon may the Wellerman come To bring us sugar and tea and rum One day, when the tonguin’ is done We’ll take our leave and go No line was cut, no whale was freed The Captain’s mind was not on greed But he belonged to the whaleman’s creed She took that ship in tow (Huh!) Soon may the Wellerman come To bring us sugar and tea and rum One day, when the tonguin’ is done We’ll take our leave and go For forty days, or even more The line went slack, then tight once more All boats were lost, there were only four But still that whale did go Soon may the Wellerman come To bring us sugar and tea and rum One day, when the tonguin’ is done We’ll take our leave and go As far as I’ve heard, the fight’s still on The line’s not cut and the whale’s not gone The Wellerman makes his a regular call To encourage the Captain, crew, and all Soon may the Wellerman come To bring us sugar and tea and rum One day, when the tonguin’ is done We’ll take our leave and go Soon may the Wellerman come To bring us sugar and tea and rum One day, when the tonguin’ is done We’ll take our leave and go
