Текст песни Tokyo (Bruce Springsteen) с переводом

The moon hung like a shadow on a rung over Shanghai

And the soldier boys were returning home screaming «Bonzai!»

And the kids are still playing their games

Getting hustled and rustled out in the rain

As I sat inside listening to the broadcast

Oh save my soul sweet rock and roll 'cuz I’m sinking fast

And then the band played

(Out of nowhere)

(Everybody)

(Everybody)

Well now the legendary chaplain of the fighting 51st

Was getting ready to go

I said «Padre do you know a cheap virgin who likes to tango?»

He said «You can try Linda Lee;

Around the corner and across the sea

Oh word is out, word is out she’s fast.»

Oh blow me down now Linda, 'cuz I’m sinking fast

Yes and them cats are sure getting fat down in the trainyard

And the sandman brings them dreams they ship out in boxcars

The union says hold; break out the dice, break out the gold

It’s lunchtime at last

And old big mama said George Raff’s tonight on the late show

She sits straddling the kitchen chair really gung-ho

She shivers with chills, wet with slotcar thrills

Hypnotically lost in the glass

And we all sighed…

With the sunrise

As we watched the credits pass

And the little blue dot went away

And then the morning cloak fell down like a hoax over sleepytown

And garbage truck Big Lenny’s out drinking the last round

He hurriedly sipped his beer, and poking fun of the queer

And threatened to kick his ass

And the bell rang

And the horn blows

And he’s outside pumping gas

But things were moving so slow tonight

So the kid goes back inside the station

And turns on the radio to his local AM station

And the band played

Right on the radio

It’s on the radio

And he listened to the bass line

And the boys in the band sang

Whoa, whoa whoa-wo

Whoa, whoa whoa-wo

(They're so excited about it)

Whoa, whoa whoa-wo

(Everybody alright)

Whoa, whoa whoa-wo

(And the band played)

Whoa, whoa whoa-wo

(and the band played)

Whoa, whoa whoa-wo

(Everybody)

Whoa, whoa whoa-wo
