The Bodhran Song
(Brian O'Rourke - MУC Music)

(русский вольный перевод нижеследует)

Oh I am a year old kid
I'm worth scarcely fifteen quid.
I'm the kind of beast you might well look down on
But my value will increase
At the time of my decease
For when I grow up I want to be a bodhran.

If you kill me for my meat
You won't find me very sweet.
Your palate I'm afraid I'll soon turn sour on.
Ah but if you do me in
For the sake of my thick skin
You'll find I make a tasty little bodhran.

Now my parents Bill and Nan,
They do not approve my plan
To become a yoke for every yob to pound on
Ah but I would sooner scamper
With a bang than with a whimper
And achieve reincarnation as a bodhran.

I look forward to the day
When I leave off eating hay
And become a drum to entertain a crowd on
And I'll make my presence felt
With each well-delivered belt
As a fully qualified and licensed bodhran.

And 'tis when I'm killed and cured
My career will be assured
I'll be a skin you'll see no scum nor scour on
But with studs around my rim
I'll be sound in wind and limb
And I'll make a dandy, handy little bodhran.

Oh my heart with joy expands
When I dream of far-off lands
And consider all the streets that I will sound on
And I pity my poor ma
Who has never seen a Fleadh
Or indulged in foreign travel as a bodhran.

Well, a cat`s lives they are nine
But they are not very fine
And a dog has much material to growl on
But 'tis when you are a goat
You can strike a merry note
That`s provided you have first become a bodhran.

For a hornpipe or a reel
A dead donkey has no feel
Or a horse or cow or sheep that has its shroud on
And you can't join in a jig
If you're a former grade A pig
But you can wallop out the lot if you're a bodhran.

So if e'er you're feeling low
To a session you should go
And bring me there to exercise an hour on.
You can strike a mighty thump
On my belly, back or rump
But I thank you if you'd wait till I'm a bodhran.

When I dedicate my hide,
I'll enhance the family pride
And tradition is a thing I won't fall down on
For I'll bear a few young bucks
Who'll inherit my good looks
And be proud to know their old one is a bodhran.

And I don't think I'll much mind
When I've left himself behind
For the critter can no longer turn the power on
For with a celtic ink design
Tattooed on my behind
I can be a very sexy little bodhran

Now I think you've had enough
Of this rubbishy old guff
So I'll put a sudden end to my wee amhran
And quite soon my bloody bleat
Will become a steady beat
When I start my new existence as a bodhran.


Перевод:

Пес(т)ня борана

О,я козленок,мне едва ль есть один год
И цена мне едва ль 15 фунтов
Я тот, на кого обычно смотрят с высока
Но когда я окончу свои дни
Цена моя возрастет
Потому что когда я вырасту, я хочу стать бораном.

Если меня зарезать на мясо
То оно окажется не особо вкусным
И скоро оскомину вам набьет
Но если вы убьете меня ради моей толстой кожи
То из нее получится хороший маленький боран.

Сейчас Бил и Нэнси, мои папа с мамой
Моих не одобряют планов стать
Для всяких пройдох игрушкой
Но я скорее буду буянить, чем плакать и рыдать
И потом перерожусь в боран

Жду я не дождусь
Когда же прекращу жевать сено
И стану барабаном, буду веселить народ
И все меня будут замечать
Что я полноценный и полноправный боран.

Когда меня убьют и как надо обработают
Определится моя карьера
Я стану кожей, чистой и гладкой
А по моему ободу будут бежать заклёпки
И буду я здорово звучать -
Буду я классным, удобным маленьким бораном.
