Текст песни Family Man (Colin Hay) с переводом

Back in 1934

He came bangin' on the backstage door

Askin' for my hard earned pay

Then he drank it all away you know

That’s the way it goes

It was come what may

Off we all went to the war

They stole five years, and so much more you know

I was a stranger to my wife

This is the story of my life you know

Slow slow quick quick slow

Then we were on our way

I looked through my window and the slate was grey

Over the rooftops and far away

I had a secret, I had a plan

One day I’ll be a family man

And on that Butlins holiday

I heard a calling, seems like yesterday

We sailed off to that distant shore

40 years and maybe more you know

On and on we go

Then it all fades away

And Out through my window and into the gray

Over the rooftops and far away

This was my secret, this was my plan

Now I’m remembered as a family man

Out through my window and into the grey

Over the rooftops and far away

I had a secret, I had a plan

One day I’d be a family man

(Whistling tune)
