Текст песни Maybe (Dan Reeder) с переводом

The first guy I know who died

I can’t remember his name

The tenth grade started, he just never came again

All his friends sat around and cried for a day or two

You can say what you want about immortal soul

When that guy died it left a hole

It was my first clue

That when they’re gone they’re gone

Maybe Jesus beat that rap

We’re not sure

Maybe you can live forever

If your heart is pure

Or maybe you’ll come back

Some day a a king prawn

Maybe angels come

And take you away to heaven

Or the other way

But from down here it appears

That when they’re gone

They’re gone

Me and Stevie Gibson used to walk home from school

He used to have this little turn around rule

If you turn around the one way gotta turn around

The other way or it’s bad luck

He went out rafting on the river

The river went around and the raft went around

And his luck got all wound up and he drowned

And he was gone

Maybe Jesus beat that rap

We’re not sure

Maybe you can live forever

If your heart is pure

Or maybe you’ll come back

Some day a a king prawn

Maybe angels come

And take you away to heaven

Or the other way

But from down here it appears

That when they’re gone

They’re gone

Two weeks after Dieter died you could call him on the phone

And he would tell you that he’s not home

And it gave you an eerie feeling even though you knew

It was just an answering machine

'Cause somewhere deep inside you know

That they don’t come back when they go

And he had gone

And when they’re gone, they’re gone

Maybe Jesus beat that rap

We’re not sure

Maybe you can live forever

If your heart is pure

Or maybe you’ll come back

Some day a a king prawn

Maybe angels come

And take you away to heaven

Or the other way

But from down here it appears

That when they’re gone

They’re gone

My mother died in intensive care

We were sitting around singing on folding chairs

When I got the feeling somebody wasn’t there

Well I counted noses but it came out right

The doctors said she died that night

But I felt that hole and I knew that she had gone

Maybe Jesus beat that rap

We’re not sure

Maybe you can live forever

If your heart is pure

Or maybe you’ll come back

Some day a a king prawn

Maybe angels come

And take you away to heaven

Or the other way

But from down here it appears

That when they’re gone

They’re gone

I looked up death in the dictionary one day

Just to see what the dictionary had to say

It’s the complete and irreversible cessation of life functions

Which is not very poetic but it’s precise and clean

And if you analyze it what that means is

When they’re gone, they’re gone

Maybe Jesus beat that rap

We’re not sure

Maybe you can live forever

If your heart is pure

Or maybe you’ll come back

Some day a a king prawn

Maybe angels come

And take you away to heaven

Or the other way

But from down here it appears

That when they’re gone

They’re gone
