Текст песни Hudson (Vampire Weekend) с переводом

Hudson died in Hudson Bay

The water took its victim’s name

Now river’s rise told Riverside

To change their names again

A stranger walked in through the door

Said, «All apartments are pre-war»

We laughed and asked him for his name

He stayed until the end

We watched the Germans play the Greeks

We marked the 99-year lease

Our fathers signed

Which I declined to try and comprehend

Over and over again, all these never-ending visions

Over and over again like a prize that’s changing hands

The time has come, the clock is such a drag

All you who changed your stripes can wrap me in the flag

The legendary wooden gate

The first established real estate

Is lost in time like all the crimes

That won this pleasant land (land, land, land)

Over and over again, all these never-ending visions

Over and over again like a prize that’s changing hands

The time has come, the clock is such a drag

All you who changed your stripes can wrap me in the flag

Hudson died on Hudson Bay

But I was born on Sutton Place

The rising tide helped me decide

To change my name again

Some men tend to linger on

And some make haste from Babylon

Some will roam their ruined home

Rejoicing 'til the end

Over and over again, all these never-ending visions

Over and over again like a prize that’s changing hands

The time has come, the clock is such a drag

All you who changed your stripes can wrap me in the flag

The lines are drawn, the map is such a drag

All you who changed your stripes can wrap me in the flag
