Текст песни Up Against the Rain (Nanci Griffith) с переводом

You ran up against the rain

Everyday of your short life

Suffered for your muse without complaining

Never heard you swear life isn’t fair

But it doesn’t make it right

You left the world knowing all too well what pain is

You took it on yourself to pave the road to hell

Paid your dues and sang the blues

Lord, you knew them all too well

Every word upon the page

You let them sail away

The wind would blow, and then you’d go

Up against the rain

You listen to the songs

And then you wrote your own

Somewhere along the way

You passed the muse along

I feel your presence in this room

Beneath the wailing moon

It’s good to know that dying couldn’t tame you

You took it on yourself to pave the road to hell

Paid your dues and sang the blues

Lord, you knew them all too well

Every word upon the page

You let them sail away

The wind would blow, and then you’d go

Up against the rain

Last night the weather turned

This morning we had snow

Today they’ll lay you in the ground

Someday we’ll all know

Where it is we go

My tears will say goodbye

While the rain is coming down

You took it on yourself to pave the road to hell

Paid your dues and sang the blues

Lord, you knew them all too well

Every word upon the page

You let them sail away

The wind would blow, and then you’d go

Up against the rain
