Текст песни Hold On To What? (The Beautiful South) с переводом

She’d given everything she could give

Twenty years of kindness made her sad

Kindness never made enough to live

So she sold the very last thing that she had

As she held her hand out to him

As he drove around the block

He mouthed through the window, «Just hold on»

«I've held on many years now

And I haven’t found a lot»

Hold on, hold on to what?

So hold on, hold on to what?

Hold on, hold on to what?

Hold on, hold on to what?

Holding on is harder

When it’s something you’ve not got

I’ll need a pair of stilts if I’m to

Ever reach the top

So hold on, hold on to what

Hold on, hold on to what?

Hold on, hold on to what?

Many years of service with a smile

Up shit creek and down the Rhine

Gibraltar Rock and now the Emerald Isle

He’d shined every shoe that he could shine

And as he lay in his own blood

Screaming, «I've been shot»

He heard the Major whisper, «Just hold on»

«I've held on all these years now

Now what medal have I got?'

Hold on, hold on to what?

So hold on, hold on to what?

Hold on, hold on to what?

Hold on, hold on to what?

Holding on is harder

When it’s something you’ve not got

I’ll need a pair of stilts if I’m to

Ever reach the top

So hold on, hold on to what

Hold on, hold on to what?

Hold on, hold on to what?

Sixty years, and he’s looking his worst

Sitting in the park where she’d died

Running hands through his final hair

These are the words that he cried:

(Hold on, hold on

Hold on)

«To achieve the American dream (Hold on), you need a trampoline (Hold on)

To achieve the counter effect (Hold on), get that whiskey down your neck»

(Hold on)

(Hold on, hold on

Hold on)

«To achieve the American dream (Hold on), you need a trampoline (Hold on)

To achieve the counter effect (Hold on), get that whiskey down your neck»

(Hold on)

Chamberlain had his paper (Hold on)

Jesus had his cross (Hold on)

They held on (Hold on)

We held on to what?

(Hold on, hold on

Hold on)

Chamberlain had his paper (Hold on)

Jesus had his cross (Hold on)

They held on (Hold on)

We held on to what?

(Hold on, hold on

Hold on)

Chamberlain had his paper (Hold on)

Jesus had his cross (Hold on)

They held on (Hold on)

We held on to what?

(Hold on, hold on

Hold on)

We held on to what?

(Hold on, hold on

Hold on)

We held onto what?

(Hold on, hold on

Hold on)

We held onto what?

(Hold on, hold on

Hold on)

We held onto what?
