Текст песни Portrait of a Man (Screamin' Jay Hawkins) с переводом

I am painting in oil, a portrait of a man

Who has taken all the heart aches

And all the pain he can stand

I am using all the colors of blue

I have here on my stand

I am painting in oil, a portrait of a man

I can tell he is dying. I see death in his eyes

Oh yes I know, I know when he’s crying

'Tis my tears, my tears that he cries

I am so tired of how he feels inside

I mix the paint with my hand

I am painting in oil, a portrait of a man

As I paint a wrinkled brow and hair that is turning grey

Oh tell me how, how can I paint a smile

And eyes that keep turning away?

I am using all the colors of blue

I have here on my stand

I am painting in oil, a portrait and I’m the man

A portrait and I am the man
