Текст песни Acre By Acre (Chuck Brodsky) с переводом

My father’s father was a hard-working man

Spent his whole lifetime working his land

He plowed with a jack-ass and he built with his hands

The balcony where the auctioneer stands

Acre by acre, it all disappears

3 generations and 70 years

The cows & the chickens, the tractor & the barn

Big money buying up all of these farms

My own father worked a 12 hour day

From sun-up to sundown, the wheat, corn, and hay

I worked right beside him & I learned from his ways

He taught me to sweat & he taught me to pray

Acre by acre, it all disappears

3 generations and 70 years

The cows & the chickens, the tractor & the barn

Big money buying up all of these farms

I knew one day that it all would be mine

I’d pass it on down to my own son in time

When my Daddy died back in ‘72

I stepped into his boots, I knew just what to do

I had me a dream & I took out a loan

Interest rates then, they were still pretty low

I planted my seeds but before they could grow

They came telling me I had to pay what I owe

Acre by acre, it all disappears

3 generations and 70 years

The cows & the chickens, the tractor & the barn

Big money buying up all of these farms
