Бих искала да посветя следващата песен на Кармело,
00:21
who was put to sleep a couple of days ago, because he got too old.
1

който бе приспан преди ден-два, защото беше твърде стар.
00:26
But apparently he was a very nice dog
2
8000
2000
Но беше много добро куче
00:28
and he always let the cat sleep in the dog bed.

10000
3000
и винаги позволяваше на котката да спи в кучешкото легло.
00:35
♫ (Dog panting noise) Heh, heh, heh, heh, heh, heh, heh, heh, heh, heh. ♫

17000
4000
♫ (Звук от кучешко дишане) Хех, хех, хех, хех, хех, хех, хех, хех. ♫
00:39
♫ I'm just a'walking my dog, singing my song, strolling along. ♫
5
21000
6000
♫ Просто си разхождам кучето - пея си песен и си вървя. ♫
00:45
♫ Yeah, it's just me and my dog, catching some sun. We can't go wrong. ♫
6
27000
8000
♫ Да, само аз и моето куче, припичаме се на слънце, лошо няма. ♫
00:53
♫ My life was lonely and blue. ♫
7
35000
2000
♫ Животът ми бе самотен и тъжен - ♫
00:56
♫ Yeah, I was sad as a sailor, ♫
8
38000
3000
♫ да, бях тъжна като моряк, ♫
01:00
♫ I was an angry 'un too. ♫
9
42000
3000
♫ бях и гневна също. ♫
01:03
♫ Then there was you -- appeared when I was entangled with youth and fear, ♫
10
45000
7000
♫ А после ти дойде - появи се, когато бях оплетена в младост и страх, ♫
01:10
♫ and nerves jingle jangled, vermouth and beer were getting me mangled up. ♫
11
52000
6000
♫ с опънати нерви, разбити от вермут и бира. ♫
01:16
♫ But then I looked in your eyes ♫
12
58000
2000
♫ Но после те погледнах в очите ♫
01:19
♫ and I was no more a failure. ♫
13
61000
3000
♫ и вече бях нов човек. ♫
01:22
♫ You looked so wacky and wise. ♫
14
64000
3000
♫ Ти изглеждаше тъй смахнат и мъдър. ♫
01:26
♫ And I said, "Lord, I'm happy, 'cause I'm just a'walking my dog, ♫
15
68000
5000
♫ И си казах: "Боже, щастлива съм - просто си разхождам кучето, ♫
01:31
♫ catching some sun. We can't go wrong." ♫
16
73000
4000
♫ припичаме се на слънце, лошо няма." ♫
01:35
♫ Yeah, it's just me and my dog, singing our song, strolling along. ♫
17
77000
6000
♫ Да, само аз и моето куче, пеем си песен и си вървим. ♫
01:41
♫ 'Cause I don't care about your hating and your doubt, ♫
18
83000
3000
♫ Не ми пука за вашата омраза и съмнение, ♫
01:44
♫ and I don't care what the politicians spout. ♫
19
86000
4000
♫ не ми пука какви ги дробят политиците, ♫
01:48
♫ If you need a companion, why, just go out to the pound, ♫
20
90000
3000
♫ Ако ти трябва другар - ами просто върви в кучкарника, ♫
01:51
♫ and find yourself a hound, and make that doggie proud, ♫
21
93000
3000
♫ намери си хрътка - нека кученцето е гордо, ♫
01:54
♫ 'cause that's what it's all about. ♫
22
96000
3000
♫ затова е цялата работа. ♫
02:01
♫ (Dog panting noise) Heh, heh, heh, heh, heh, heh, heh, heh, heh, heh. ♫
23
103000
3000
♫ (Звук от кучешко дишане) Хех, хех, хех, хех, хех, хех, хех, хех. ♫
02:04
♫ My life was tragic and sad. ♫
24
106000
4000
♫ Животът ми бе трагедия тъжна, ♫
02:08
♫ I was the archetypal loser. ♫
25
110000
3000
♫ бях пълен провал, ♫
02:11
♫ I was a pageant gone bad. ♫
26
113000
4000
♫ драматично се скапвах - ♫
02:15
♫ And then there was you -- on time, and wagging your tail ♫
27
117000
5000
♫ а после дойде ти, навреме размаха опашка, ♫
02:20
♫ in the cutest mime that you was in jail. ♫
28
122000
3000
♫ най-милият мим в твоя затвор. ♫
02:23
♫ I said, "Woof, be mine!" and you gave a wail and then ♫
29
125000
5000
♫ Аз казах: "Джаф, бъди мой!" А ти изскимтя, ♫
02:29
♫ I was no longer alone. ♫
30
131000
2000
♫ и вече не бях сама. ♫
02:31
♫ And I was no more a boozer. ♫
31
133000
2000
♫ Вече не бях пияница. ♫
02:34
♫ We'll make the happiest home. ♫
32
136000
2000
♫ Ще си живеем прекрасно. ♫

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Nellie McKay - Singer/songwriterNellie McKay sings, croons, raps, grooves and -- barks? -- to glowing critical acclaim.
Why you should listen
Playful, quirky, hilarious, endearing: not attributes of your typical political agitator. But singer-songwriter-producer-activist Nellie McKay merits the description. Her music is whimsical, colorful, catchy and as engaging as it is restless. Toying with antique genres and yet undeniably contemporary, it flirts with multiple styles of delivery while maintaining a sharp social conscience.
For these and other eccentricities, McKay has gained a devoted fan following. On stage and off, she's an outspoken advocate of animal rights, a friend and ally to any arch political quip and -- lucky for us -- artistically uncompromising. After cutting two major-label records, her own indie label, Hungry Mouse, produced her latest, Obligatory Villagers.
