Текст песни My Enemies Have Sweet Voices (Al Stewart) с переводом

I was in a bar called Paradise

When the fiddler from the band

Asked me «Why do you stand there crying?»

I answered him: «Musician, this may come as a surprise

I was trying to split the difference

And it split before my eyes

And my enemies have sweet voices

Their tones are soft and kind

When I hear my heart rejoices

I do not seem to mind»

I was playing Brag in Bedlam

And the doctor would not deal

Asking me: «Why do you kneel down there bleeding?»

I answered him «Physician

I think you would have cried

I was falling back on failure

The failure stepped aside

And my enemies have sweet voices

Their tones are soft and kind

When I hear my heart rejoices

I do not seem to mind»

I was blind side to the gutter

And Merlin happened by

Asking me «why do you lie down there bleeding?»

I answered him «Magician, as a matter of a fact

I was jumping to conclusions

And one of them jumped back

And my enemies have sweet voices

Their tones are soft and kind

When I hear my heart rejoices

I do not seem to mind»
