Текст песни Echo Pie (Frank Zappa) с переводом

Roy?: Ay!

FZ: Yeah

JCB: Herbie’s not starving! He makes more than we do. That’s for damn sure

FZ: But he does more than you do! I’m telling you, if he has income and he— and

he lives the way he lives, it’s not all coming from your pocket

JCB: No. But some of it is

FZ: Not enough to be dangerous, I’ll tell you

JCB: It’s not? Where in the hell is all the money going?

FZ: I’ll make a propos—

Ian: Nobody’s listening to it in here. The monitor’s off

FZ: I’ll make a proposal to you, if you want to earn more money that’ll mean

that you’ll have to tour all the time. Now I can’t do that

FZ:. .. do you mean, «What happens to the name of the group?» still The

Mothers—

JCB: You don’t care how—

FZ: You made—

JCB: This is the first—

FZ: You made more fucking money this year that you’ve made for a long time

JCB: Three months? Three month— Two months?

FZ: I’m s— Look. .

JCB: Out of the year? At— at— But back to back?

FZ: I’m talking about the possibility that if you guys wanna tour without me,

then we would. .

JCB: We didn’t say—

FZ: Listen!

JCB: You’re part of the band—You're the main part of the band!

FZ: Listen! I can’t tour right now. I’ve got too fucking much work to do in the

studio. I’ve got a bunch of stuff that has to be done. Alright?

Ian: (Cough.)

JCB: It ain’t gonna be the same, man

FZ: Ain’t gonna be the same but you’re gonna earn a fucking living!

And you can tour. .

JCB: What happens to the name of the group? You don’t have— care how the group

sounds?

FZ: Look. Listen carefully, I’ll start again

Ian: (Cough, cough.)

FZ: You get together, and you rehearse. And you compensate for the part that I

play. You know, give it to the piano, or give it to the organ, or put it on the

horns or something. Okay? Change the things around so you don’t need a guitar

in there

Bunk?: The thing is that we need your mouth and we need your face up there.

That’s the thing

JCB: You’re the group, man. You’re the group

FZ: Look

Bunk?: No, it’s—it's not— The thing is, man. .

JCB: And you know you are

Bunk?:. .. That it’s— that it’s been built around you—you made it. .

JCB: It’s been built for the last three years, it’s been you, man.

You’re the group! Now how can you expect us to go off and record without you—I

mean, to do a tour without you

FZ: I think— I think you can do it. I think you can do it

JCB: Oh, we could do it

Bunk?: Under a different name?

FZ: No you don’t have to do it under a different name. You can do it as The

Mothers and you can do it without me

JCB: It won’t be the same. I don’t know if anybody. .

FZ: Well, who cares—

JCB: They might come the first time, but I’ll bet they won’t come a second time

FZ: Look. They’ll come ten times if the music sounds good. And that’s up to you

to play it

JCB: They come to see you, Frank. That’s who they come to see
