Текст песни Standing in My Light (Jim Capaldi) с переводом

Now Alexander the great

He was a big man across the land

He conquered everything in sight

Had the world at his command

But somewhere deep down inside

He felt there were things that he still didn’t know

So he asked the wise men if they knew

Or if there was some place he could go

They said that in a far off land

Lived a man called Diogenes

Who possessed the kind of knowledge

That would put his mind at ease

So Alexander, he saddled up

And went looking for that holy grail

He rode and rode for miles and miles

'Til at last he found the trail

Then stepping up he said

I’m here, please tell me what it is I crave

And the voice came back loud and clear

From the darkness of the cave

And said, «Hey, you’re standing in my light»

Hey, you’re standing in my light

I said, «Hey, you’re standing in my light»

I said, «Hey, you’re standing in my light»

Well, I don’t know if I know what you think I know

But I think it’s gonna be fine

And just remember that whatever’s been written

Is just the opinion of one man’s mind

There are no easy answers

That I know that’ll satisfy you

You just gotta take your chances

And do what you wanna do

But you should know that in this world

You get what you deserve

So when your back’s against the wall

You better not lose your nerve

So now you’re standing on the street

Like you got something to prove

And the pavement artist at your feet

Looks up every time you move

And says, «Hey, you’re standing in my light»

Says, «Hey, you’re standing in my light»

You know that ain’t right

Hey, you’re standing in my light

You gonna be there all night

Says, «Hey, you’re standing in my light»

Oh, get out my light

So when you’re headed for the goddess center

And the dream that lies within it

Just remember what the man said

There’s one born every minute

Hey, you’re standing in my light

Hey, you’re standing in my light

You know that ain’t right

Hey, you’re standing in my light

You gonna be there all night

I said, «Hey, you’re standing in my light»

Hey, you’re standing in my light

Hey, you’re standing in my light

You know that ain’t right

Hey, you’re standing in my light
