Текст песни Ghost Story (Roy Bailey) с переводом

I’ve come here tonight to tell you

What all of you should know

I was murdered in the Falklands,

I knew I shouldn’t go

And when you tell the story

Of why I died and how

Don’t say you’ve never seen a ghost

You’re looking at one now

I walked back over the water

Just to take a look around

I can see that nothing’s altered

Since the day that I went down

The old are not defended

And the young don’t get a start

And the rich get rich and richer

It’s enough to break your heart

I slammed the doors in Downing Street

Enough to raise the dead

Well if I really died in vain

Then something should be said

One night I raised the living

And she told me why I died

She scared me so I had to go

I didn’t sleep that night

All the things I died defending

Are the things I valued least

Tell me am I a ghost of war?

Am I a ghost of peace?

And when you fight for freedom

Be careful and be sure

Did I die defending freedom?

Did I die defending war?

Well we sailed into St Carlos

In the middle of a raid

And my friend Charlie crossed himself

Well he was so afraid

The oil on the water

Was smoking like a town

I was burned in the water

Trying not to drown

But you don’t believe I am a ghost

I can see it in your eyes

Do you think that ghosts just scream

And rattle chains all through the night

Well I left the chains that bind us

Where I left the rest of me

It was chains that took me down

To the South Atlantic sea

There were chains made of money

The best that you can buy

Chains made of newspapers

There were chains made of lies

Chains of employment

And chains on the dole

And if they could I know they would

Put chains around my soul

So I’ve come here tonight to show you

What all of you should see

I think you should be frightened, yes

But don’t be scared of me

I’ll say goodbye to England

The land that wasted me

I’m going back to the Malvinas

Before I start to scream
