Текст песни Somebody's Baby (Christine Lavin) с переводом

I was standing on 6th Avenue at the corner of 53rd Street

Waiting for the bus

Token in my hand

Thinking about Dinner and what I would eat

That’s when I saw him all dirty and ragged

Begging for nickles and dimes

I got on the bus

Rolled away

But one thing stayed in my mind

He once was Somebodys Baby

Someone bounced him on her knee

Do you think she has any idea

What her little boy’s grown up to be?

I was walking through riverside park

On a beautiful afternoon

Telling my neighbor about the vacation

I planned to be taking soon

That’s when I saw her all dirty and ragged

Drinking a bottle of wine

I turned my head

Walked right on by

But one thing stayed in my mind

She once was Somebodys Baby

Someone bounced her on his knee

Do you think he has any idea

What his little girl has turned out to be?

In the back of a checker cab stopped at a light

Heading toward Broadway

To see the latest critically acclaimed

Pulitzer Prize winning play

That’s when I saw them outside the shelter

Forming a ragged line

We pulled away

I didn’t look back

But one thought stayed in my mind

They once were somebody’s babies

But somewhere their lives went all wrong

Next time you see them don’t think the worse

Why not try to think of this song?
