Не стреляй! - Nje Strelay - Don't Shoot






Не стреляй в воробьёв, не стреляй в голубей,
Don't shoot at sparrows, don't shoot at pigeons


Не стреляй просто так из рогатки своей
Don't shoot at them for fun with your slingshot


Эй, малыш, не стреляй и не хвастай другим,
Hey little boy, don't shoot and don't brag to others


Что без промаха бьёшь по мишеням живым
That you never miss living targets


Ты все тиры излазил, народ удивлял
You've been to every shooting range, you've impressed people


Как отличный стрелок призы получал
You've received prizes for excellent marksmanship


Бил с улыбкой, не целясь, навскидку и влет
You were shooting with a smile, without aiming, easily and quickly



А кругом говорили: «Вот парню везет!»
And the people around you were saying: "What a lucky guy!"


Не стреляй!
Don't shoot!


И случилось однажды, о чем так мечтал,
One day his dream came true


Он в горящую точку планеты попал,
He found himself in a combat zone


А когда наконец-то вернулся домой,
And when he finally came home


Он свой старенький тир обходил стороной
He steered clear of his old shooting range


И когда кто-нибудь вспоминал о войне,
And when somebody brought up the topic of the war


Он топил свою совесть в тяжёлом вине
He drowned his conscience in hard liquor


Перед ним, как живой, тот парнишка стоял,
He could still remember the small boy


Тот, который его об одном умолял
Who was begging him for one thing


Не стреляй!
Don't shoot!
