Перевод песни Stephin Merritt – The Song of the Assassin

My son
It’s important to remember people
When they’re gone
One can set aside an hour or two for them
Oh, the red and purple men were rivals at court
The red one thought of life as a violent sport
Where the losing guy deserves to die
Da da die, da da da da da die
So he hired an assassin to do the deed
But an honest man can’t be killed for greed
Heaven does not like preemptive strike
Stra stra strike, stra stra stra stra stra strike
But the killer had an order that he would not dare disobey
So he found an oak tree where he could bash his head
And now he’s dead
Deh deh dead, deh deh deh deh deh dead
