Текст песни Lavender Lane (The Kinks) с переводом

Daisy and Teddy had two Cockney boys

And two Cockney sisters and they all shared their toys

With old Rosie Rooke and Peggy O’Day

They all lived together down in Lavender Lane

Lavender Lane, oh my Lavender Lane

The people were poor and the people were plain

They didn’t have much but they shared what they gained

Contented to drift along Lavender Lane

Oh Lord, such a pity that the world’s gotta change

All of the houses were old and decayed

The people were proud who lived in Lavender Lane

Oh Lord, Lavender Lane

Oh Lord, Lavender Lane

Sometimes I wanna get back home and do the things we did before

And break down the old school tie, and all the la-di-do-dahs

The knobs and the toffs sent down two la-di-dahs

To mix with the people and to drink in their bars

They looked down their noses and they puffed their cigars

Instead of 'off' they say 'orf', instead of 'yeah' they say 'ya'

And oh Lord

And Ted and Daisy said, 'what a shame'

They’ll knock all the houses down for financial gain

And send all the people to a new town estate

Oh Lord, they gutted Lavender Lane

Whoa-oh, they gutted Lavender Lane

Sometimes I wanna get back home and do the things we did before

And break down the old school tie, and all the la-di-do-dahs

In the great London Council a decision was made

By the bright civil servants and the people in grey

They sent all their navvies with their buckets and spades

To knock all the houses down in Lavender Lane

But worst of all, they’ve taken all the people away

Now only memories are all that remain

Of all of the people down in Lavender Lane

Oh Lord, they gutted Lavender Lane

Whoa-oh, they gutted Lavender Lane

Whoa-oh, they gutted Lavender Lane

Whoa-oh, they gutted Lavender Lane
