Текст песни Adam the Inventor (Pete Seeger) с переводом

Early in the morning

Just as the sun was rising

Adam started inventing things

And the results were surprising

Later in the morning

The sun was getting higher

Adam made a discovery

He learned to handle fire

He invented spears, invented guns

Invented arrow and bow

Ah, what is it now he’s going to invent?

Sometimes I don’t want to know

Invented language, invented words

Invented alphabets

Ah, but when it comes to communicating

Sometimes he was deaf

Conquered desert, conquered ice

Conquered ocean and shore

Conquered every animal beside himself

And Adam invented war

Adam, brilliant Adam, so brilliant

You’re made blind

Inventing some new kind of world

With no place for mankind

Well, stamp your foot we’ve got one earth

One big red apple to share

All around us, one ocean of water

And just one ocean of air

Can we break the grip of this dance of death?

Can this world be released?

Will Adam’s children the young inventors

Will they now invent peace?

Well, some will scoff and some will scorn

But what makes them so certain?

Adam’s children might surprise us all

And built anew the garden
