Текст песни Andorra (Pete Seeger) с переводом

I want to go to Andorra, Andorra, Andorra

I want to go to Andorra, it’s a place that I adore

They spent four dollars and ninety cents

On armaments and their defense

Did you ever hear of such confidence?

Andorra, hip hurrah!

In the mountains of the Pyrenees

There’s an independent state

Its population five thousand souls

And I think they’re simply great

One hundred and seventy square miles big

And it’s awfully dear to me

Spends less than five dollars on armaments

And this I’ve got to see

It’s governed by a council

All gentle souls and wise

They’ve only five dollars for armaments

And the rest for cakes and pies

They didn’t invest in a tommy gun

Or a plane to sweep the sky

But they bought some blanks for their cap pistols

To shoot on their Fourth of July

They live by the arts of farm and field

And by making shoes and hats

And they haven’t got room in their tiny land

For a horde of diplomats;

They haven’t got room in their tiny land

For armies to march about

And if anyone comes with a war budget

They throw the rascals out

I wandered clown by the Pentagon

This newspaper clipping in hand

I said, «I want to see everyone

In McNamara’s band.»

I said, «Look what they did in Andorra

They put us all to shame

The least is first, the biggest is last

Let’s get there just the same.»

The general said, «My dear boy

You just don’t understand

We need these things to feel secure

In our great and wealthy land.»

I said, «If security’s what you need

I’ll buy a couch for you

A headshrinker is cheaper and quicker

And a damn site safer too.»
