Текст песни Old Black Rum (Great Big Sea) с переводом

I drank 16 doubles for the price of one

Tryin to find the courage to talk to the one

I asked her for a dance, not a second glance

My night had just begun

Well I’d drink to the father or the holy ghost

I’m kneeling at the alter of my nightly post

So I’ll raise a glass, not the first or last

Come join me in this toast

Because the old black rum’s got a hold on me

Like a dog wrapped 'round my leg

And the old black rum’s got a hold on me

Will I live for another day (heyyyyy)will I live for another day

Well the queen of George Street just went walkin' on by

Walkin' on by with some guy who don’t care

That she stood in line since half past nine

And spent three hours on her hair

(on her hair!)

Her friend is lookin' at me with an evil grin

I think a bloody racket might soon begin

I must have said something to the George Street queen

Her boys are joining in

So I drank all of my money and I slept out in the rain

Everyday is different, but the nights they’re all the same

You never see the sun on the old black rum

But I know I’m gonna do it again

Will I live for another day
