Текст песни
Безмолвен, холоден и горд
Залитый солнцем Хвалифьорд.
Молчит полярная страна,
Как будто заворожена.
Вздымая пену за кормой,
Уходит в море наш конвой.
И этот свет тревожит глаз -
Он просто может выдать нас.
Don't do it, Dudley! Don't do it, Dudley!
То, что ты задумал, сможешь оправдать ли?
Don't do it, Dudley! Don't do it, Dudley!
Твой приказ исполнят, только будешь рад ли?
Ждут весть о каждом корабле
В Майами, Глазго и Орле.
И вспоминают милых жён
Три парня: Том, Иван и Джон.
Они в кильватерном строю
Несут сквозь льды судьбу свою.
Плечом к плечу и к борту борт,
Но так далёк заветный порт!
Don't do it, Dudley! Don't do it, Dudley!
Я прорвусь сквозь холод, сквозь туман ли, град ли!
Don't do it, Dudley! Don't do it, Dudley!
Не грусти, до встречи! Впрочем, это вряд ли...
Нас выдал свет, а может чёрт,
Но первый штурм отбил эскорт.
Враг, остановленный огнём,
Предпринимает ход конём.
Из-под воды, по-над водой
Несётся смерть на наш конвой.
За этим штурмом штурм ещё,
И вот открыт печальный счёт.
Don't do it, Dudley! Don't do it, Dudley!
Своему народу не противно лгать ли?
Don't do it, Dudley! Don't do it, Dudley!
Честь страны и флота долго замарать ли?
Но Дадли подписал приказ.
Он был труслив, он предал нас.
Том, раздосадован и зол,
Плюёт на раскалённый ствол.
Эскорт ушёл, спасенья нет.
Остался лишь его корвет.
Он дребезжит, как старый таз,
Но он один не бросил нас.
Don't do it, Dudley! Don't do it, Dudley!
На таком корыте стыдно умирать ли?
Don't do it, Dudley! Don't do it, Dudley!
Я вернусь, Луиза! Впрочем, это вряд ли...
А в океане полный штиль.
У сухогруза ровный киль.
Всё выжимая из котлов,
Идёт четырнадцать узлов.
Но вот по борту пенный след
В него направленных торпед.
И разворачивает Джон
Ещё горячий "Эрликон".
Don't do it, Dudley! Don't do it, Dudley!
У врага бриллианты не с твоих наград ли?
Don't do it, Dudley! Don't do it, Dudley!
Я вернусь, Росита! Только будешь ждать ли?
Вот в перекрестье снова влез
Стервятник, рвущийся с небес.
Он выбрал цель, он лётчик-ас,
И не упустит этот шанс.
Но отвернул, не сплоховал
Иван, сжимающий штурвал.
Он воин, а не просто цель,
Он снова выиграл дуэль.
Don't do it, Dudley! Don't do it, Dudley!
Как живёшь, Мария? Держим Сталинград ли?
Don't do it, Dudley! Don't do it, Dudley!
Напишу попозже. Впрочем, это вряд ли...
Конвой покоится на дне.
Живые счастливы вполне.
Пройдя кромешный этот ад,
Они не требуют наград.
Успев за месяц постареть,
Дошла до порта только треть.
Вот так оплачена сполна
Сановной трусости цена.
Don't do it, Dudley! Don't do it, Dudley!
Мы сыграли в ящик, ну теперь ты рад ли?
Don't do it, Dudley! Don't do it, Dudley!
Всех нас с потрохами продал.
Ну не гад ли?
Перевод песни
Silent, cold and proud
Sunlit Hvalifjord.
The polar country is silent
As if mesmerized.
Kicking up the foam behind the stern,
Our convoy is leaving at sea.
And this light disturbs the eye -
He just might betray us.
Don't do it, Dudley! Don't do it, Dudley!
Can you justify what you have in mind?
Don't do it, Dudley! Don't do it, Dudley!
Your order will be carried out, but will you be glad?
Waiting for the news of every ship
In Miami, Glasgow and Oryol.
And they remember their lovely wives
Three guys: Tom, Ivan and John.
They are in wake formation
They carry their fate through the ice.
Shoulder to shoulder and side to side,
But the cherished port is so far away!
Don't do it, Dudley! Don't do it, Dudley!
I will break through the cold, through the fog, whether the hail!
Don't do it, Dudley! Don't do it, Dudley!
Do not be sad, see you! However, this is unlikely ...
The light gave us, or maybe the devil
But the first assault was repulsed by an escort.
An enemy stopped by fire
Makes a knight's move.
From under the water, over the water
Death is rushing to our convoy.
For this assault there is still an assault,
And now a sad account has been opened.
Don't do it, Dudley! Don't do it, Dudley!
Is it not disgusting for your people to lie?
Don't do it, Dudley! Don't do it, Dudley!
How long does it take to tarnish the honor of the country and the navy?
But Dudley signed the order.
He was cowardly, he betrayed us.
Tom, vexed and angry,
Spits on a red-hot trunk.
The escort is gone, there is no escape.
Only his corvette remained.
It rattles like an old basin
But he didn't leave us alone.
Don't do it, Dudley! Don't do it, Dudley!
Is it a shame to die on such a trough?
Don't do it, Dudley! Don't do it, Dudley!
I'll be back Louise! However, this is unlikely ...
And the ocean is completely calm.
The bulk carrier has an even keel.
Squeezing everything out of the boilers
There are fourteen knots.
But here is a foam trail on board
Torpedoes aimed at him.
And John unfolds
Still hot "Oerlikon".
Don't do it, Dudley! Don't do it, Dudley!
Does the enemy have diamonds from your awards?
Don't do it, Dudley! Don't do it, Dudley!
I'll be back, Rosita! Will you just wait?
Here I climbed into the crosshairs again
A vulture rushing from heaven.
He chose a target, he's an ace pilot
And he will not miss this chance.
But turned away, did not blunder
Ivan gripping the steering wheel.
He is a warrior, not just a target
He won the duel again.
Don't do it, Dudley! Don't do it, Dudley!
How are you, Maria? Are we holding Stalingrad?
Don't do it, Dudley! Don't do it, Dudley!
I'll write later. However, this is unlikely ...
The convoy rests at the bottom.
The living are quite happy.
After going through this pitch hell,
They do not require rewards.
Having managed to grow old in a month,
Only a third reached the port.
Paid like that in full
Dignified cowardice is the price.
Don't do it, Dudley! Don't do it, Dudley!
We played the box, are you happy now?
Don't do it, Dudley! Don't do it, Dudley!
He sold us all with giblets.
Well, isn't it?
