Текст песни Rice (Dan Bern) с переводом

He had just returned from Monte Carlo

He was on his way to Japan

And everything they did made me want to emulate them

Made me want to be just like them

And his wife, looking very Japanese

Had never been to Japan

She sang Japanese songs

I tried my best to sing along

And the sky was gray

And it looked like it might rain

And I decided that I was only eating rice from then on

And he spoke of places and of people that I knew very well

And I asked about them, it seemed painful for him to speak

She said maybe later, if we go to the movies you can speak

He was reading heavy books and seemed burdened by his knowledge

She wore a thin Japanese robe

And the sky was gray

And it looked like it might rain

And I decided that I was only eating rice from then on

Hey, sweet dreams, great teacher

Hey, great teacher, sweet dreams

Hey, sweet dreams, great teacher

Hey, great teacher, sweet dreams

I will meditate each morning at the sunrise

I will write down all of my dreams

I will travel on the backroads

I will keep myself open to whatever

Every day I will learn a secret language

I will make my living in the casino

With 11 or less against a bust card

I will double down

And the sky is gray

And it looks like it might rain

And I’ve decided that I’m only eating rice from now on

The sky is gray

And it looks like it might rain

And I’ve decided that I’m only eating rice from now on

Hey, sweet dreams, great teacher

Hey, great teacher, sweet dreams

Hey, sweet dreams, great teacher

Hey, great teacher, sweet dreams
