Текст песни New York Wakes (Horslips) с переводом

Said we never should have let them go

But we let them go

To find a living in the foreign places

where the crazy faces made them feel so low

A thousand promises we meant to keep

but we could not keep

We built a city out of junkyard alleys

and landscape valleys, where dead men sleep.

Ah, but you were a playboy; you could always sing along

Even at those New York wakes you were

always good for a song.

And you said «Hey New York, come on tell me,

can this be the promised land?»

Close your eyes and you can feel all right in the teeming night

And set your face against the rush of feet

And the sidewalk heat and the cafe light.

Just remember what they said at home

When you went alone

That no one here is going to fake the time,

To read your mind or save your soul

But you were a dancer when there was dancing in the streets.

Night-time boys and Broadway Jigs helped keep your footwork neat

And you said «Hey New York, come on tell me,

Can this be the Promised Land»?
