Текст песни What Kind Of Man (Eric Bogle) с переводом

What kind of man is he, and which cause did he use

When he placed the bomb, when he set the fuse

Did he walk away crying «Liberty»

And if he did — what kind of man is he?

Did he sleep well that night deaf to the dying’s last screams

Did no bloody ghosts walk through his dreams

Does he shed innocent blood as part of a grand strategy

And if he does — what kind of man is he?

For all the tears and mourning

For all those you’ve maimed and killed

For all the murdered children

God damn your soul to hell

Is he a family man, does he have any kids

Will they ever understand what their father did

Does he use noble words like 'freedom from tyranny'

And if he does — what kind of man is he?

Are you out there tonight wearing your every man’s face

Do you still see yourself as part of the human race

In spite of the murder you’ve done and the killings you’ve yet to do

And that’s why I ask — what kind of man are you?

From Gethsemane to Auschwitz the man with the gun

Has stood between us and what we could have become

Shall we be dragged back once again into barbarity

If we let them do that — what kind of men are we?
