Текст песни How Long? (Nitty Gritty Dirt Band) с переводом

You were on your own, I was on the road

You were awful lonesome, I was awful cold

You wanted love songs but that’s not enough

So how long must we punish each other

For the sin of falling in love

You were on the phone, I was on the floor

And the boy was staring out the kitchen door

He hears our fighting and he takes it rough

So how long must we punish each other

For the sin of falling in love?

Well, there’s a whole lot worse that a man can do

There’s greater crimes for women too

Than to give the holy power of love a place to stand

Now we’re looking back through a sack of woe

There’s a boy with a stack of reasons to know

Why we can’t forgive each other a woman and man

You were in the air, I was in the sea

Boy was in the basket with friends on the beach

It don’t take much asking to receive that stuff

So how long must we punish each other

For the sin of falling in love?

Oh, how long must we punish each other

For the sin of falling in love?
