Текст песни 1492 (Counting Crows) с переводом

I’m a Russian Jew American

Impersonating African Jamaican

What I wanna be’s an Indian

I’m gonna be a cowboy in the end I guess

I bought a gun cuz it impresses

All the little girls I see

And then they all wanna sleep with me

Oh, where do we disappear?

Into the silence that surrounds us

And then drowns us in the end

Where all these people who impersonate our friends

Say, «Come again, come again, come again…»

Into the dark Italian underground of disco lights and disco sound

And skinny girls who drink champagne

And take me on their knees again

Then pull me up and out the door

Past railway cars and tranny whores

And morning spreading out across the feathered thighs of angels

Oh, where do we disappear?

Into the silence that surrounds us

And then drowns us in the end

Where they try to push you out to keep you in

And say, «Come again, come again, come again…»

In 1492, Columbus sailed the ocean blue

In 1493, came home across the deep blue sea

In 1494, he did it with the girl next door

In 1495, he barely made it out alive

In 1964, these sailors left me at the door

In 1970, some people got their hands on me

Now I’m the king of everything

And I’m the king of nothing

Now I am the king of everything

I am the king of nothing

Oh, where do we disappear?

Into the silence that surrounds us

And then drowns us in the end

Where all these people who impersonate our friends

Say, «Come again, come again, come again…»

Oh, where do we disappear?

Into the silence that surrounds us

And then drowns us in the end

Where they try to get you out to get you in

And all these people who impersonate our friends

Say, «Come again, come again, come again, come again, come again…»
