Текст песни Dear Billy (Janis Ian) с переводом

Dear Billy, how are you?

I hope you are well

The flowers are blooming

The plants, I can’t really tell

I see by your letter

You have no intent to come home

So I’ll take the kid and the house

And make out on my own

Dear Billy, I’m trying

To say what I feel

But the feelings are locked up in pain

I hope you’re enjoying whatever it is

You are doing in whoever’s name

The night it runs cold

And it chills to the soul

But you wouldn’t know

What’s the use

It’s all one to me

Go ahead and be free

After all, you got nothing to lose

I still go to school

And the kid, she goes too

We’re learning to silence the fear

That no one is near

She calls me «Dear»

And I wait for you

What else can I do?

No, nothing has changed

It all stays the same

We all remain ever-faithful

And someone confused

Except maybe you

Who threw the harpoon

Are you coming back soon?

Dear Billy, please send

My regards to your lady

I wish her well

And I hope that one day

We will meet on the far side of hell

Well the sun’s got the moon

And the writer his tune

But I never had nothing 'cept you

And on the day that you die

I will sing lullabyes

In the hopes that you got yours, too
