Текст песни Babe I'm On Fire (Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds) с переводом

Father says it, mother says it Sister says it, brother says it Uncle says it, Auntie says it Everyone at the party says

Babe, I’m on fire

Babe, I’m on fire

The horse says it, the pig says it The judge in his wig says it The fox and the rabbit

And the nun in her habit says

Babe, I’m on fire

Babe, I’m on fire

My mate Bill Gates says it The President of the United States says it The slacker and the worker

The girl in her burqa says

Babe, I’m on fire

Babe, I’m on fire

The general with his tank says it The man at the bank says it The soldier with his rocket

And the mouse in my pocket says

Babe, I’m on fire

Babe, I’m on fire

The drug-addled wreck

With a needle in his neck says it The drunk says it, punk says it The brave Buddhist monk says

Babe, I’m on fire

Babe, I’m on fire

Hit me up, baby, and knock me down

Drop what you’re doing and come around

We can hold hands till the sun goes down

Cause I know

That you

And I Can be Together

Cause I love you

The blind referee says it The unlucky amputee says it The giant killer bee

Landing on my knee says

Babe, I’m on fire

Babe, I’m on fire

The cop with his breathalyser

The paddy with his fertiliser

The man in the basement

That’s getting a taste for it says

Babe, I’m on fire

Babe, I’m on fire

The fucked-up Rastafarian says it The dribbling libertarian says it The sweet little Goth

With the ears of cloth says

Babe, I’m on fire

Babe’I’m on fire

The cross-over country singer says it The hump-backed bell ringer says it The swinger, the flinger

The outraged right-winger says

Babe, I’m on fire

Babe, I’m on fire

The man going hiking says it The misunderstood Viking says it The man at the rodeo

And the lonely old Eskimo says

Babe, I’m on fire

Babe, I’m on fire

The mild little Christian says it The wild Sonny Liston says it The pimp and the gimp

And the guy with the limp says

Babe, I’m on fire

Babe, I’m on fire

The blind piano tuner says it The Las Vegas crooner says it The hooligan mooner

Holding a schooner says

Babe, I’m on fire

Babe, I’m on fire

The Chinese contortionist says it The backyard abortionist says it The poor Pakistani

With his lamb Bhirriani says

Babe, I’m on fire

Babe, I’m on fire

The hopeless defendant says it The toilet attendant says it The pornographer, the stenographer

The fashion photographer says

Babe, I’m on fire

Babe, I’m on fire

The college professor says it The vicious cross-dresser says it Grandma and Grandpa

In the back of the car says

Babe, I’m on fire

Babe, I’m on fire

The hack at the doorstep says it The midwife with her forceps says it The demented young lady

Who is roasting her baby

On the fire

Babe, I’m on fire

The athlete with his hernia says it Picasso with his Guernica says it My wife with her furniture

Everybody!

Babe, I’m on fire

Babe, I’m on fire

The laughing hyena says it The homesick polish cleaner says it The man from the Klan

With a torch in his hand says

Babe, I’m on fire

Babe, I’m on fire

The Chinese herbologist says it The Christian apologist says it The dog and the frog

Sitting on a log says

Babe, I’m on fire

Babe, I’m on fire

The foxhunting toff says it The horrible moth says it The doomed homosexual

With the persistent cough says

Babe, I’m on fire

Babe, I’m on fire

The Papist with his soul says it The rapist on a roll says it Jack says it, Jill says it As they roll down the hill

Babe, I’m on fire

Babe, I’m on fire

The clever circus flea says it The sailor on the sea says it The man from the Daily Mail

With his dead refugee says

Babe, I’m on fire

Babe, I’m on fire

The hymen-busting Zulu says it The proud kangaroo says it The koala, the echidna

And the platypus too says

Babe, I’m on fire

Babe, I’m on fire

The disgraced country vicar says it The crazed guitar picker says it The beatnik, the peacenik

The apparachick says

Babe, I’m on fire

Babe, I’m on fire

The deranged midnight stalker says it Garcia Lorca says it The hit man, Walt Whitman

And the haliototic talker says

Babe, I’m on fire

Babe, I’m on fire

The wine taster with his nose says it The fireman with his hose says it The pedestrian, the equestrian

The tap-dancer with his toes says

Babe, I’m on fire

Babe, I’m on fire

The beast in the beauty pageant

The pimply real estate agent

The beach-comber, the roamer

The girl in a coma says

Babe, I’m on fire

Babe, I’m on fire

The old rock’n’roller

With his two-seater stroller

And the fan in the van

With the abominable plan says

Babe, I’m on fire

Babe, I’m on fire

The menstruating Jewess says it The nervous stewardess says it The hijacker, the backpacker

The cunning safecracker says

Babe, I’m on fire

Babe, I’m on fire

The sports commentator says it The old alligator says it The tennis pro with his racquet

The loon in the straight jacket

Babe, I’m on fire

Babe, I’m on fire

The butcher with his cleaver says it The mad basket weaver says it The jaded boxing writer

And the glass-jawed fighter says

Babe, I’m on fire

Babe, I’m on fire

The old town cryer says it The inveterate liar says it The pilchard, the bream

And the trout in the stream

Babe, I’m on fire

Babe, I’m on fire

The war correspondent says it The enthused and the despondent says it The electrician, the mortician

And the man going fishin’says

Babe, I’m on fire

Babe, I’m on fire

The cattleman from Down Under says it The patriot with his plunder says it Watching a boat of full of refugees

Sinking into the sea

Babe, I’m on fire

Babe, I’m on fire

The silicone junky says it The corporate flunky says it The Italian designer

With his rickshaw in China says

Babe, I’m on fire

Babe, I’m on fire

The trucker with his juggernaut says it The lost astronaut says it The share cropper, the bent copper

The compulsive shopper says

Babe, I’m on fire

Babe, I’m on fire

The Viennese vampire says it The cowboy round his campfire says it The game show panellist

The Jungian analyst says

Babe, I’m on fire

Babe, I’m on fire

Warren says it, Blixa says it The lighting guy and mixer says it Mick says it, Marty says it Everyone at the party says

Babe, I’m on fire

Babe, I’m on Fire

The hairy arachnophobic says it The scary agoraphobic says it The mother, the brother

And the decomposing lover says

Babe, I’m on fire

Babe, I’m on fire
