Текст песни Crucifixion (Rev. Gary Davis) с переводом

Well, I done died one time

And I ain’t gonna die no more

Well, I done died one time

And I ain’t gonna die no more

Oh, glory, glory, hallelujah I done died one time

And I ain’t gonna die no more

And the time that the Lord, with the disciples, set down and talked with them

at the table. They were eating their last Passover together with one another.

Said, «Out of you twelve, gonna be one that betray me.» They were all sitting

down there, enjoying themselves… That broke up their appetite because they

didn’t know who it was, you know. They begin to talk one to another.

Wanted to know who it was. Some got so worried about the thing, said «let's ask him». One of them said «you ask him, maybe he’ll tell you».

They were all troubled, you know. A great table before them and they couldn’t

eat. Their appetite was gone. So, after a while, one went to him and asked him.

I hear one of 'em asked him something like this, you know. «Who is it»?

He said, «The one you see me give something out of the dish, that’ll be the

one that betray me.» So they watched, to see who it was. While they were

watching, it give them a better appetite to eat, you know. Tell me my Lord

spoken these words like this. Let me see what my Lord said:

It’d been good if that man had not been born

It’d been good if that man had not been born

Oh, glory, glory, hallelujah

It’d been good if that man had not been born

So he said to his disciples, «In a while, I’ll be with you. In a while,

I’ll be gone.» While he’s settin' there talking, Peter began to understand

this conversation, you know. He broke down and commenced to crying.

I heard him say to him:

I will follow you, Lord, wheresoever you go

I will follow you, Lord, wheresoever you go

Oh, glory, glory, hallelujah

Lord, I’ll follow you wheresoever you go

I heard my Lord say:

I’m going where you cannot go, oooh

I’m going where you cannot go

Oh, glory, oh, glory, hallelujah

Oh, Peter, I’m going where you cannot go

Peter made up his mind and he decided to go, anyhow. My Lord said, «Before the cock crows thrice, you will deny me.» Said, «No, Lord,

I’ll prove to you that I’m a man… I’ll fight for you. I will die for you».

So he knowed that Peter didn’t understand. Tell me that they brought them all

the way to Jerusalem to try him. They were standing around the fire, warming,

waiting for the courtroom to open. When the courtroom open, tell me they got

my Lord in your guard. Set him down. Put him on the front row. And they tell me

he was seeking for witnesses:

There was not a man to be found

There was not a man to be found

Oh, glory, glory, hallelujah

Oh, there was not a man to be found

And they smoted my Lord across the head with a reed

And they smoted my Lord across the head with a reed

Oh, glory be to God, hallelujah

Well, they smoted my Lord across the head with a reed

Planted seventy two thorns and placed them on his head

Planted seventy two thorns and placed them on his head

Oh, glory be to God, hallelujah

Planted seventy two thorns and placed them on my Lord’s head

And they put him down and chosen him a tomb

Hey, put him down and chosen him a tomb

Oh, glory be to God, hallelujah

Oh, they put my Lord down and chosen him a tomb

Just before they got ready to put him down, he’s sitting out there before

Pilate. And they tell me, Pilate’s wife said to him, «If you have anything to

do with that man, I’m going to leave you.» So, natural that a man don’t want

his wife to leave him. He didn’t want to be guilty of an innocent man.

I heard him calling:

Bring me a basin of water to wash my hands

Bring me a basin of water to wash my hands

Oh, glory be to God, hallelujah

Oh, bring me a basin of water to wash my hands

And I don’t want to be guilty of a innocent man

Don’t want to be guilty of a innocent man

Oh, glory be to God, hallelujah

Oh, don’t want to be guilty of a innocent man

Talk to me, then…
