Конкурс «Перевод песни с английского» (для начинающих переводчиков)

1. ABBA. I have a dream (текст песни на английском языке)

I have a dream, a song to sing
To help me cope with anything
If you see the wonder of a fairy tale
You can take the future even if you fail

I believe in angels
Something good in everything I see
I believe in angels
When I know the time is right for me
I’ll cross the stream — I have a dream

I have a dream, a fantasy
To help me through reality
And my destination makes it worth the while
Pushing through the darkness still another mile
I believe in angels
Something good in everything I see
I believe in angels
When I know the time is right for me
I’ll cross the stream — I have a dream
I’ll cross the stream — I have a dream

I have a dream, a song to sing
To help me cope with anything
If you see the wonder of a fairy tale
You can take the future even if you fail
I believe in angels
Something good in everything I see
I believe in angels
When I know the time is right for me
I’ll cross the stream — I have a dream
I’ll cross the stream — I have a dream

2. Franz Ferdinand. Forty Feet (lyrics)

As I glanced once upon the foam
40 feet beneath my feet
The coldest calm falls
through the molten veins,
Cooling all the blood to slush,
Congeals around again

a la la
Oh, and forty feet remain

Salt scales upon my drying arms
Burn my back beneath the sun
I am cold beneath the burning haze
Looking down, looking down,
Down, down again

Oh, and forty feet remain
Oh, and forty feet remain
