Текст песни Wild Ponies (Jonathan Byrd) с переводом

She had legs like daggers and eyes like oceans

and her heart locked up in a hard combination.

I took her to the island, to see the wild ponies.

See, I had a friend who had a concrete boat, —

it don’t take as much as you might think to float-

and he lived out on the island with the wild ponies.

We made a fire in the live oak trees,

and listened to the pirate breeze blowing.

And wondered how a man could be

so far from home, and still know where he’s going.

She drifted down from a shipwrecked town

and landed here on the Pamlico sound.

She’d heard out on the islands, there were wild ponies.

I gave all I could give to her:

a chance to see what she had heard

and a night out on the island with the wild ponies.

But she didn’t stay here, like she didn’t stay there,

always looking for somewhere a little greener.

Every time I see the ponies run-

scared and hungry, wild and young- I see her.

I heard somebody say she died

drinking one night on the ocean side,

swimming to freedom, like a wild pony.

I wish her well. I wish her peace.

It’s got to be lonely to be so free,

always running, like a wild pony,

living your life like a wild pony.
