Текст песни Jeannie's Afraid of the Dark (Dolly Parton) с переводом

Her two little feet would come running into

Our bedroom almost every night

Her soft little face would be wet from her tears

And her little heart pounding with fright

She’d hold out her arms, then she’d climb in beside us

In her small voice, we’d hear her remark

«Mommie and Daddy, can I sleep here with you

Because Jeannie’s afraid of the dark»

One day in the summer, we took some flowers

To place on some old family graves

Jeannie said, «Mommy, is it dark in the ground

Oh, Daddy, I’d be so afraid»

Then she looked up at her daddy and me

And said something that broke both our hearts

She said, «When I die, please don’t bury me

Because Jeannie’s afraid of the dark»

Jeannie was always afraid of the dark

And we never could understand why

Because we looked after Jeannie with the very best of care

Because Jeannie was our only child

Perhaps it was death that she was so afraid of

Because it took her one dark stormy night

I think we always knew that we’d never see Jeannie grown

Because it seemed she was destined to die

But on Jeannie’s grave, we placed an eternal flame

That glows and never loses its spark

And on the darkest night, there’s always a light

Because Jeannie’s afraid of the dark

Our Jeannie’s afraid of the dark
