Текст песни Bones of a Lifetime (Eddie from Ohio) с переводом

Victor dreamt of America

With excitement like politics

And big time crime

And shopping malls and big band halls

So much in store

For his immigrant mind

His land devastated by war

Victor went searching for more

In America

Charlie fell in love in the city of lights

The sidewalks, winos, fog-filled air

And ancient museums

For the plight that had freed them

In '44 Charlie fought le-grande guerre

Never forgetting his past

Charlie had returned at last to gay Paris

Oh the eyes of generations

The waiting arms of freedom

The distant ache of memories

The home of a foreigner

And the bones of a lifetime

Ellis island, she shined like a jewel

With bright lights of promise

And American pride

A Frenchman’s passion

Victor would ration

Would overcome the worlds

About to collide

Wide-eyed and puffing his chest

Victor braced himself for the best

In America

Paris had never meant so much more

The artists our lady the river seine

Charlie remembered times

Much more tender

Now all but the girl

In this city remained

Placing a rose by their favorite bench

Where once they had promised they never

Would forget the summertime

Oh the eyes of generations

The waiting arms of freedom

The distant ache of memories

The home of a foreigner

And the bones of a lifetime

Victor dreamt of america
