Chris De Burgh — Don't Pay The Ferryman



  • перевод  Текст

Don't Pay The Ferryman (Chris De Burgh).

It was late at night on the open road 
Speeding like a man on the run
A lifetime spent preparing for the journey
He is closer now and the search is on 
Reading from a map in the mind
Yes there's that ragged hill and there's a boat on the river
 
And when the rain came down 
He heard a wild dog howl
There were voices in the night
(Don't do it!)
Voices out of sight
(Don't do it!)
Too many men have failed before, whatever you do
 
Don't pay the ferryman!
Don't even fix a price!
Don't pay the ferryman
Until he gets you to the other side
 
In the rolling mist, then he gets on board 
Now there'll be no turning back
Beware that hooded old man at the rudder
And then the lightning flashed and the thunder roared 
And people calling out his name
And dancing bones that jabbered-and-a-moaned on the water
 
And then the ferryman said: 
"There is trouble ahead
So you must pay me now"
(Don't do it!)
"You must pay me now"
(Don't do it!)
And still that voice came from beyond, whatever you do
 
Don't pay the ferryman!
Don't even fix a price!
Don't pay the ferryman
Until he gets you to the other side

Don't pay the ferryman!
