Рифф (перевод Надежда Ковина из Новобелокатая)
I met Mr. Death this morning
Я встретил мистера Смерть этим утром,
He offered me a ride.
Он предложил мне путешествие.
I said I think I'm not quite ready yet
Я ответил: "Думаю, что еще не совсем готов
To travel by your side
Странствовать с тобой".
"Practice what you preach"
"Практикуй, что проповедуешь";
Then said the count of shadowlands
Затем граф царства теней сказал:
"It doesn't hurt to take a peek"
"Не повредит взглянуть",
He grinned and grabbed my hand
Усмехнулся и схватил меня за руку.
I sat in the leather seat
Я сидел в кожаном кресле
Of his Chevy van
Его "Шевроле" вэна,
The motor screamed like a pack of rats
Двигатель визжал, как стая крыс
In a frying pan
На сковороде.
The headlights were shooting sparks
Фары стреляли искрами
And the tyres spinning flames
И шины вспыхивали, вращаясь.
"Well alrighty then"
"Ну, хорошо же", -
He said and opened up his case
Сказал он и открыл свой футляр.
The grim reaper played guitar
Беспощадный жнец играл на гитаре,
His bony fingers cold and stiff
Его костистые пальцы холодные и жесткие.
The sonic thunder froze my heart
Звуковой гром заморозил мое сердце,
As he cranked out the Riff
Когда он провернул рифф.
Oh, yeah, the Riff!
О, да, рифф!
Then his song was over
Затем его песня закончилась,
And he asked me not to lie
И он попросил меня не лгать.
I felt a bit uneasy
Я чувствовал себя слегка неудобно,
But I dared to criticize
Но посмел критиковать.
I told him, "Man, the riff is a killer
Я сказал ему: "Старик, рифф – убойный,
But the rest is a throw-away"
Но остальное – отбросы".
His face looked disappointed
Его лицо выглядело разочарованным,
But he said, "Ah, it's ok"
Но он сказал: "А, нормально".
I asked him, has he shown
Я спросил его, показал ли ему
The devil what he's got
Дьявол, что есть у него.
"He's written hits
"Он писал хиты,
But lately he has not"
Но в последнее время - ничего".
So the devil's out of touch
Итак, дьявол не в курсе дела
And he cannot smell a hit
И не может почувствовать запах хита.
"Cuz he has lost his mind
"Потому что он спятил
With all that hip-hop shit"
Со всем этим хип-хоповским дер*мом".
The grim reaper played guitar
Беспощадный жнец играл на гитаре,
His bony fingers cold and stiff
Его костистые пальцы холодные и жесткие.
The sonic thunder froze my heart
Звуковой гром заморозил мое сердце,
As he cranked out the Riff
Когда он провернул рифф.
Oh, yeah, the Riff!
О, да, рифф!
I woke up and the van was upside down
Я проснулся, фургон был вверх тормашками,
My body bleeds
Мое тело в крови.
We must have crashed right off the road
Мы, должно быть, разбились сразу же в дороге,
And Death could barely speak
И мистер Смерть едва мог говорить.
He said, "Listen you gotta take my place
Он сказал: "Слушай, ты должен занять мое место,
I'm leaving office soon"
Я скоро покидаю пост".
I said, "I'm sorry dude, I'm kinda busy
Я ответил: "Сожалею, парень, я типа занят,
But tell you what: I'll take the tune"
Но скажу тебе вот что: я подхвачу мелодию".
And it goes like this...
И дело обстоит так...

I replied: "I think I'm not quite ready yet
To travel by your side
To wander with you. "
"Practice what you preach"

Then said the count of shadowlands
Then the earl of the kingdom of shadows said:
"It doesn't hurt to take a peek"
"It won't hurt to take a look"
He grinned and grabbed my hand
He grinned and grabbed my hand.
I sat in the leather seat
I was sitting in a leather chair
Of his chevy van
His Chevrolet van
The motor screamed like a pack of rats
The engine screeched like a flock of rats
In a frying pan
In a frying pan.
The headlights were shooting sparks
The headlights were shooting sparks
And the tires spinning flames
And the tires flashed while spinning.
"Well alrighty then"
"Well, it's good," -
He said and opened up his case
He said and opened his case.
The grim reaper played guitar
The merciless reaper played the guitar
His bony fingers cold and stiff
His bony fingers are cold and stiff.
The sonic thunder froze my heart
Sound thunder froze my heart
As he cranked out the Riff
When he pulled the riff.
Oh, yeah, the Riff!
Oh yeah riff!
Then his song was over
Then his song ended
And he asked me not to lie
And he asked me not to lie.
I felt a bit uneasy
I felt a little uncomfortable
But I dared to criticize
But he dared to criticize.
I told him, "Man, the riff is a killer
I told him, "Old man, the riff is killer,
But the rest is a throw-away "
But the rest is scum. "
His face looked disappointed
His face looked disappointed
But he said, "Ah, it's ok"
But he said, "Oh, okay."
I asked him, has he shown
I asked him if I showed him
The devil what he's got
The devil that he has.
"He's written hits
"He wrote hits,
But lately he has not "
But lately, nothing. "
So the devil's out of touch
So the devil is out of the picture
And he cannot smell a hit
And he can't smell the hit.
"Cuz he has lost his mind
"Because he's crazy
With all that hip-hop shit "
With all this hip-hop shit. "

My body is covered in blood.
We must have crashed right off the road
We must have crashed right away on the road
And Death could barely speak
And Mr. Death could hardly speak.
He said, "Listen you gotta take my place
He said, "Listen, you have to take my place,

But tell you what: I'll take the tune "
But I'll tell you this: I'll pick up the tune. "
And it goes like this ...
And this is the case ...
