НАЧИЩЕНЫ БОТИНКИ МОИ, ПО ГОРОДУ ИДУ БАНДИТ
SHINED MY BOOTS, WALKING THROUGH THE CITY LIKE A BANDIT
А ЧЁ МНЕ - ПУЛИ УСНУЛИ
AND WHAT ABOUT ME - BULLETS ARE ASLEEP
НАКИНУТЫЙ НА ПЛЕЧИ КЛИФТ, ПРАВИЛЬНЫЙ ДАЕТ ОТЛИВ
THROWN OVER MY SHOULDER, A CLIFF, THE RIGHT ONE GIVES A WAVE
А ЧЁ МНЕ - ЛАЙФУЮ КАЙФУЮ
AND WHAT ABOUT ME - I'M LIVING IT UP, FEELING GREAT
НАВСТРЕЧУ МНЕ ИДЕТ ЭМИГРАНТ, Я ВИЖУ ПО КРОВИ МНЕ БРАТ
AN EMIGRANT IS COMING TOWARD ME, I SEE MY BROTHER IN HIS BLOOD
ОН КАК И Я, TEQUILA LATINO
HE'S LIKE ME, TEQUILA LATINO
БУЭНОС ДИАС В ГЛАЗА, В СЕРДЦЕ ХОЛОДНЫЙ НОЖ
BUENOS DIAS IN MY EYES, A COLD KNIFE IN MY HEART
Я ЕГО КИЛА АМИГО
I'M HIS KILLA AMIGO
НЕ ПЛАЧЬ СОЛНЦЕ КАЛИФОРНИИ,
DON'T CRY, SUN OF CALIFORNIA,
НИ КОГДА И НИ О КОМ, СЛЕЗ НЕ ЛЕЙ СВОИХ
NEVER FOR ANYONE, DON'T SHED YOUR TEARS
НЕ ПЛАЧЬ СОЛНЦЕ КАЛИФОРНИИ.
DON'T CRY, SUN OF CALIFORNIA.
ОБО МНЕ, ОБО МНЕ
ABOUT ME, ABOUT ME
ГОРОД АНГЕЛОВ, ГОРОД ВОЙНЫ, СКАЖИ МНЕ QUEN SI NO MI?
CITY OF ANGELS, CITY OF WAR, TELL ME QUEN SI NO MI?
КТО ЕСЛИ НИ Я, АМЕРИКА - МАМА
WHO IF NOT ME, AMERICA - MOM
ВРАГ ВСЕМ ДАЖЕ СЕБЕ, И НА ЦЕЛОЙ ЗЕМЛЕ
ENEMY TO ALL EVEN TO HIMSELF, AND TO THE WHOLE EARTH
У НЕГО, НИ ДРУГА, НИ БРАТА
HE HAS NEITHER FRIEND NOR BROTHER
И ПУЛЯ ПОПАЛА В ЦЕЛЬ, АМИГО НЕ УЦЕЛЕЛ
AND THE BULLET HIT THE TARGET, AMIGO DIDN'T MAKE IT
ТИХО ТАМ, ПЛАЧЬ СЕНЬОРИТА
QUIET OVER THERE, CRY, SENORITA
ИГРАЕТ ГИТАРА МИНОР, ПРОЩАЙ РАЗБОЙНИК И ВОР!
THE GUITAR PLAYS MINOR, FAREWELL, BANDIT AND THIEF!
VEN CON DIOS!
COME WITH GOD!
НЕ ПЛАЧЬ СОЛНЦЕ КАЛИФОРНИИ,
DON'T CRY, SUN OF CALIFORNIA,
НИ КОГДА И НИ О КОМ, СЛЕЗ НЕ ЛЕЙ СВОИХ
NEVER AND FOR NO ONE, DON'T SHED YOUR TEARS
НЕ ПЛАЧЬ СОЛНЦЕ КАЛИФОРНИИ.
DON'T CRY, SUN OF CALIFORNIA.
ОБО МНЕ, ОБО МНЕ
ABOUT ME, ABOUT ME
