Текст песни Lions (Dire Straits) с переводом

Red sun going down, way over dirty town

Starlings they’re sweeping around, crazy shoals

Yes and a girl is there, high heeling across the square

The wind, it blows around in her hair and the flags upon the poles

Waiting in the crowd to cross at the light

She looks around to find a face she can like

Church bell clinging on distant, trying to get a crowd for Evensong

Nobody cares to depend upon the chimes it plays

They’re all in the station praying for trains

Congregation’s late again

It’s getting darker all the time, these flagpole days

Drunk old soldier he gives her a fright

He’s a crazy lion, he’s a-howling for a fight

Strap hanging, gunshots sound

Doors slamming on the Overground

Starlings are tough but the lions are made of stone

Her evening paper is horror torn

But there’s hope for later, Capricorn

Her lucky stars give her just enough to get her home

Then she’ll read about a swing to the right

But she’s been thinking about a stranger in the night

I’m thinking about the lions

Thinking about the lions

What happened to the lions

Tonight, tonight, tonight

Thinking about the lions

Thinking about the lions
