Текст песни Prenup (Mark Mathis) с переводом

i wrote your father a letter asking him for your hand

he said, «son, we’re both excited, but there’s things to understand.

You see i caught myself that bluebird through my wits and workin' hard.

And i will not give it to my daughter’s man — with a degree in art.»

you see these things have been set in place for as long as i can remember

and I’m not one to change the old ways — honey, love’s not as good as tender

i said, «sir, i don’t want your money, but i will not sign your slip.

And if you really were a man of honor, yeah, you wouldn’t ask me this.

You’d just say, 'son, i’m sorry — i’m afraid it just won’t work.

Cos i’m afraid you’ll plunder me — when i’m six feet under earth'».

come on baby, let’s build us a cabin on a mountain in the sky

and have ourselves some children and teach them to be wise

'cos life is just not living if you’re scared to take a risk

tell me that you’ll marry me — tell me with a kiss
