Текст песни Dire Straits 1991 On Every Street - 08 Iron Hand

iron hand
(. Sl Mark Knopfler, the Russian translation - ardel)

Every day I am reminded
The sky is blue over the green grass
Dirty people and elegant sailor
Truth and courage against the force of the sea

The troops were ordered to
Boots and plaques sparkle all in a row
Shield and a club in the hands of soldiers
Sweep all the wave one by one

It was still night seen clear as day
Red blood on green grass
Shining Spurs on a red horse
As a blow-by-blow kill people

Miner's will and the mining work
On English soil and green fields
Shame on the scene can not be transferred
That night, the hot blood washed kings

Alas, everything is repeated again
Knights in armor, had passed their days
But the horror, all the same, and all the same massacre
We were all the same, that were then

With all the clarity of dream
The sky so blue, the grass so green
The rank and file and the navy blue
The deep and strong, the straight and true

The blue line they got the given sign
The belts and boots marched forward in time
The wood and the leather the club and shield
It swept like a wave across the battlefield

Now with all the clarity of dream
The blood so red, the grass so green
The gleam of spur on the chestnut flank
The cavalry did burst upon the ranks

Oh the iron will and the iron hand
In england's green and pleasant land
No music for the shameful scene
That night they said it had even shocked the queen

Well alas we've seen it all before
Knights in armour, days for yore
The same old fears and the same old crimes
We have not changed since ancient times
