Текст песни Song Of The World's Last Whale (Pete Seeger) с переводом

I heard the song

Of the world’s last whale

As I rocked in the moonlight

And reefed the sail

It’ll happen to you

Also without fail

If it happens to me

Sang the world’s last whale

It was down off Bermuda

Early last spring

Near an underwater mountain

Where the humpbacks sing

I lowered the microphone

About a quarter mile down

Switched on the recorder

Let the tape spin around

I didn’t just hear grunting

I didn’t just hear squeaks

I didn’t just hear bellows

I didn’t just hear shrieks

It was the musical singing

And the passionate wail

That came from the heart

Of the world’s last whale

Down in the Antarctic

There, the harpoons wait

But it’s up on the land

You decide my fate

In London town

They’ll be telling the tale

If it’s life or death

For the world’s last whale

So here’s a little test

To see how you feel

Here’s a little test

For this age of the automobile

If we can save

Our singers up in the sea

Perhaps there’s a chance

To save you and me

I heard the song

Of the world’s last whale

As I rocked in the moonlight

And reefed the sail

It’ll happen to you

Also without fail

If it happens to me

Sang the world’s last whale
