Текст песни (Hat) (A Halo Called Fred) с переводом

This song is not about hats

Oh, no. This song is not about hats

This song is about something else. So fancy that!

This song is not about hats

This song is about something that has never before been defined

Can’t be felt by the senses or comprehended by the mind

And so my friends, we must now ask ourselves, «What is this song about?»

First of all, it is not about hats as was established at the opening of the song

This narrows down the possibilities slightly

Now Webster’s New World Dictionary, Second College Edition defines a hat as a

covering for the head. If Mr. Webster is correct (And why should we assume

otherwise) then any object that can cover the head is a hat. If I put a book on

my head, it would be a hat. If I put a chair on my head it would be a hat.

If I put my guitar on my head, it too would be a hat

If I put your mother on my head, she would be a hat

And so, my friends, so far we have taken a very logical, very careful method of

determining what the object is that is the subject of this song.

As a matter of fact, we probably shouldn’t be calling it an object,

because if it is an object it can be put on someone’s head, and if it can be

put on someone’s head, it might very well be considered a hat by the more

observant members of society. This song must be about some kind of abstract

concept. Like love. Or Democracy

But wait, my friends. Have we forgotten that not everything in life can be

taken entirely literally? We simply cannot deny the existence of metaphors.

Not even the bad ones

Love is a radioactive hat that causes confusion in the brain. Democracy is a

protective helmet on the head of the free world. In fact the number of abstract

concepts that can be metaphorically compared to hats are limitless.

Metaphorically speaking, anything can be a hat

And so my friends, we do not know what this song is about. We know what it is

not, but we do not know what it is. It is not a hat. It is not something else.

But it does exist for in a universe as infinitely vast as our own,

it must exist. But it can’t be sensed or even imagined. No one will ever find

it. The world will have to go on throughout all eternity never finding this

amazingly wonderful object that defies all imagination, and is not a fucking

hat
