Текст песни Arrange And Re-arrange (Pete Seeger) с переводом

Early in the morning, I first see the sun

I say a little prayer for the world

I hope all the little children live a long, long time

Yes, every little boy and little girl

I hope they learn to laugh at the way

Some precious old words do seem to change

'Cause that’s what life is all about:

To arrange and re-arrange and re-arrange

Oh-wee, oh-wye, to re-arrange and re-arrange and re-arrange

Oh-wee, oh-wye, to re-arrange and re-arrange and re-arrange

Early in the mornin' I’m a-carrying the sap

And I say a little prayer for the maple

Like old Mama Quad, on the northwest slope

I’ll protect her 'long as I am able

She gives me more sap year after year

Than any single other tree

So bring on the pancakes! Here’s to Mama Quad!

May she live for another century

Sometimes I wake in the middle of the night

And rub my achin' old eyes

Is that a voice from inside-a my head

Or does it come down from the skies?

«There's a time to laugh but there’s a time to weep

And a time to make a big change.»

Wake-up-you-bum-the-time-has-come

To arrange and re-arrange and re-arrange

Maybe the biggest change will come

When we don’t have to change much at all

When maniacs holler, «GROW, GROW, GROW!»

We can chose to stay small

The key word may be «little.»

We only have to change a little bit

So eat a little food, drink a little drink;

And only have to. .. (sigh)
