Один из нас (перевод: Лингво-лаборатория «Амальгама», http://www.amalgama-lab.com/)

Если бы у Бога было имя, как бы оно звучало?
И смог бы ты обратиться к Нему по имени?
Если бы предстал перед Ним во всём его величии,
Что бы ты спросил, если бы мог задать только один вопрос?

Да, да, Бог всемогущ.
Да, да, Бог всеблаг.
Да, да, да-да-да.

А если бы Бог был одним из нас?
Грубияном, каких немало,
Незнакомцем, добирающимся до дома
На автобусе?

Если бы у Бога было лицо, каким бы оно было?
И захотел бы ты увидеть его, если бы это требовало от тебя
Веры в небеса,
В Спасителя, в святых и в пророков?

Да, да, Бог всемогущ.
Да, да, Бог всеблаг.
Да, да, да-да-да.

А если бы Бог был одним из нас?
Грубияном, каких немало,
Незнакомцем, добирающимся до дома
На автобусе?
Просто добирающимся до дома…
…Назад, на небеса, в полном одиночестве.
Нет, он никому не звонит по телефону.
Может, только Папе Римскому…

Да, да, Бог всемогущ.
Да, да, Бог всеблаг.
Да, да, да-да-да.

А если бы Бог был одним из нас?
Грубияном, каких немало,
Незнакомцем, добирающимся до дома
На автобусе?
Как священный перекати-поле,
…Назад, на небеса, в полном одиночестве….

Он просто добирается до дома…
Нет, он никому не звонит по телефону.
Может, только Папе Римскому…

Adele Laurie Blue Adkins known as Adele, is a British singer and songwriter. The success of her first Album 21 earned Adele numerous mentions in the Guinness Book of World Records.

«If It Hadn’t Been for Love» was written by Michael Henderson and Christopher Stapleton. Adele stated, «I love this song because the sentiment is about killing the singer’s wife. I would certainly kill some of my ex-boyfriends! And I reckon all of the concertgoers would as well! I reckon you’ve all got an ex, unless you’re a lucky one that’s been with the one person all your life — I don’t know how lucky that is, though, to be honest!»

«If It Hadn’t Been For Love»

Never woulda hitch hiked to Birmingham
If it hadn’t been for love
Never woulda caught the train to Louisiana
If it hadn’t been for love
Never woulda run through the blindin’ rain
Without one dollar to my name
If it hadn’t been
If it hadn’t been for love

Never woulda seen the trouble that I’m in
If it hadn’t been for love
Woulda been gone like a wayward (переменчивый) wind
If it hadn’t been for love
Nobody knows it better than me
I wouldn’t be wishing I was free
If it hadn’t been
If it hadn’t been for love

Four cold walls against my will
At least I know he’s lying still
Four cold walls without parole (досрочное освобождение)
Lord have mercy on my soul

Never woulda gone to that side of town
If it hadn’t been for love
Never woulda took a mind to track him down
If it hadn’t been for love
Never woulda loaded up a forty four
Put myself behind a jail house door
If it hadn’t been
If it hadn’t been for love

Four cold walls against my will
At least I know he’s lying still
Four cold walls without parole
Lord have mercy on my soul

Never woulda hitch hiked to Birmingham
If it hadn’t been for love
Never woulda caught the train to Louisiana
If it hadn’t been for love
Never woulda loaded up a forty four
Put myself behind a jail house door
If it hadn’t been
If it hadn’t been for love
If it hadn’t been
If it hadn’t been for love
If it hadn’t been
If it hadn’t been for love

Если бы не любовь (перевод: Лингво-лаборатория «Амальгама», http://www.amalgama-lab.com/)
Я бы никогда не добралась автостопом в Бирмингем,
Если бы не любовь,
Никогда бы не села на поезд в Луизиану,
Если бы не любовь,
Никогда бы не убежала во время дождя
Без гроша в кармане,
Если бы
Если бы не любовь

Никогда бы не оказалась в такой беде, как сейчас,
Если бы не любовь,
Я бы бесследно исчезла, словно ветер,
Если бы не любовь,
Никто не знает это лучше меня,
Я бы не желала свободы,
Если бы
Если бы не любовь

Четыре холодные стены против моей воли,
По крайней мере, я знаю, что она мертва,
Четыре холодные стены без шанса выбраться,
Господи, смилуйся надо мной

Никогда бы не поехала в ту часть города,
Если бы не любовь,
Никогда бы не решила найти ее,
Если бы не любовь,
Никогда бы не попала в камеру 44,
Не оказалась бы за решеткой,
Если бы
Если бы не любовь

Четыре холодные стены против моей воли,
По крайней мере, я знаю, что она мертва,
Четыре холодные стены без шанса выбраться,
Господи, смилуйся надо мной

Я бы никогда не добралась автостопом в Бирмингем,
Если бы не любовь,
Никогда бы не села на поезд в Луизиану,
Если бы не любовь,
Никогда бы не попала в камеру 44,
Не оказалась бы за решеткой,
Если бы
Если бы не любовь
