Текст песни Brief History of My Life (Steve Poltz) с переводом

We first moved to the USA all the way from Canada

Drove across the continent from Nova Scotia to Pasadena

My sister and me, and my mom and dad

From the cull to the sunny south

There were palm trees growing and it was not snowing

And I never did shut my mouth

We drove on over to the courthouse in downtown Los Angeles

We put our hands on a bible and we swore as a family that we were not communists

When we drove away, I started to cry

They said, «What's wrong son, are you sick?»

I said, «I don’t wanna be an American; I wanna be a Catholic»

We talked Hollywood, and baseball in the car

The voice of Vin Scully; It would travel really far…

I made my first communion in St Rita’s Catholic Church

There was incense choking and a priest was smoking; was a choir up in the perch

My face got red, and my stomach felt bad

They said, «if you’re gonna get sick, use a cup»

Well I thought by the time that it was my turn Jesus would be all eaten up

We talked Hollywood, and baseball in the car

The voice of Ernie Harwell; It would travel really far…

My allergies were bad so we moved to the desert to a city called Palm Springs

We trick-or-treated at Liberace’s house; each finger had a diamond ring

We met Elvis Presley in the middle of the summer; he hugged my sister for far

too long…

Well, it felt kinda weird, but I woulda pimped her out just to hear him sing a

song

We talked Hollywood, and baseball in the car

The voice of Jack Buck; It would travel really far…

Now, here I am, a grown up boy at home on the Fourth of July

Staring out at the ocean and the fireworks in the sky

I miss my friends who aren’t around; the ones who passed away…

Well, I’m feeling kind of grateful here on Independence Day

We talk Hollywood, and baseball in the car

The voice of Jerry Coleman; It would travel really far…

I get allergies

And asthma in the yard

And no one ever told me

Growing up would be so hard
