Текст песни Goodnight, Juarez (Tom Russell) с переводом

Juarez, I couldn’t sleep tonight

Juarez, you made me weep tonight

Across the Rio Grande, I saw your poverty lights

Goodnight, Juarez, good night

Juarez, I used to paint the town

Now you’ve gone and turned it upside down

Into a dark and bloody battleground

Goodnight, Juarez, goodnight

Our Lady of the Seven Sorrows

Just caught the last bus out

She said, «Seven sorrows used to fit the bill

But I’d need ten thousand now»

The mariachi horns are silent

The guitars don’t make a sound

The children have all disappeared

Or they’re hiding underground

The tourist market’s empty now

You wouldn’t recognize this town

Why, they even tore the bull ring down

Goodnight, Juarez, good night

Vuela, vuela, palomita, you old ragged

And torn Dove of Peace

Fly across this burning desert

Where the bodies lie beneath

Bring me back one faded rose

A sign of love and hope

And drop it down on this broken city

Before it all goes up in smoke

Juarez, I had a dream today

The children danced as the guitars played

And all the violence up and slipped away

Goodnight, Juarez, goodnight
