Текст песни King of the Past (Rheostatics) с переводом

Check your watch;

You’re fourteen and more

Here lies a road not travelled before

Down in the cellar

There’s beer on your breath

And up off the floor

Did you let him explore?

Check your map

You’re Louis Riel

He rode a horse before you were born

Out in the flatland

The money’s all spent

And out in the field

Your fate has been sealed

I’m the King of the Past, but still I walk forward

Won’t close my eyes to the passing of time

I’m in Fredericton Northern where the rivers make borders

But planes fly right over them

Check your map

'Cause you’ve lost your watch

It’s buried under snow; its time does not stop

Find your way homeward

The rivers are freezing

And under the ice

The borders are changing

I’m the King of the Past, but still I walk forward

I step over hundreds of years yet to come

While the eyes in the back of my head draw no borders

Just rivers that channel the rain

(Chase them away.)
