Текст песни Don't Tell Mama (The Grascals) с переводом

I was heading north on Highway 5, on a starlit Sunday night

On a pickup truck driven by me out of control

As I watched in my headlights, he swerved left

Never hit the brakes as he left the road

I found him blind in the grass among the steel and glass

With an empty whiskey bottle by his side

And through the blood and tears, he whispered in my ear

A few last words just before he died

«Don't tell mama I was drinking

Lord knows her soul would never rest

I can’t leave this world with mama thinking

I met the Lord with whiskey on my breath»

You know I still think about that night

And how that young boy died

And how others sometimes pay for our mistakes

And you know the last thing on that boys mind

As he left this big cold world behind

Was just knowin' his poor mothers heart would break

Don’t tell mama I was drinking

Lord knows her soul would never rest

I can’t leave this world with mama thinking

I met the Lord with whiskey on my breath

Don’t tell mama I was drinking
