Перевод песни

Песня: The Boxer*
I am just a poor boy
Though my story's seldom told
I have squandered my resistance
For a pocketful of mumbles, such are promises
All lies and jest, still a man hears
What he wants to hear and disregards the rest

When I left my home and my family,
I was no more than a boy
In the company of strangers
In the quiet of the railway station,
Running scared, laying low
Seeking out the poorer quarters,
Where the ragged people go
Looking for the places only they would know

[Refrain:]
Lie la lie, lie la lie la lie la lie
Lie la lie, lie la lie la lie la lie, la la la la lie

Asking only workman's wages,
I come looking for a job but I get no offers
Just a come-on from the whores on Seventh Avenue
I do declare, there were times when I was so lonesome
I took some comfort there, ooh lalalalalala

[Refrain:]
Lie la lie, lie la lie la lie la lie
Lie la lie, lie la lie la lie la lie, la la la la lie

Then I'm laying out my winter clothes
And wishing I was gone going home
Where the New York City winters aren't bleeding me
Leading me, going home

In the clearing stands a boxer,
And a fighter by his trade
And he carries the reminders
Of every glove that laid him down
Or cut him 'til he cried out
In his anger and his shame
"I am leaving, I am leaving",
But the fighter still remains

[Refrain:]
Lie la lie, lie la lie la lie la lie
Lie la lie, lie la lie la lie la lie

[Refrain:7x]
La la la la lie, lie la lie la lie la lie
Lie la lie, lie la lie la lie la lie

La la la la lie

Перевод песни:
Боксёр

Я лишь бедный парень,
Обо мне не услышите вы.
Я отринул сопротивление,
Поддавшись целой горе невнятных обещаний,
Оказавшихся в итоге лишь несерьезной ложью, однако
Человек таков, что слышит лишь то, что хочет слышать, не обращая внимания на всё остальное.

Когда я покинул дом и родных,..... [открыть перевод]
