Перевод песни Manfred Mann's Earth Band - Frog

Once upon a time,

On a quiet summer’s evening

An old man was rowing an old boat

Across an ancient lake.

And a little frog

Jumped up onto the end of the boat.

And the frog said to the old man:

“Old man, if you kiss me,

I will turn into a beautiful young princess,

And you can do whatever you want with me.”

And the old man smiled at the frog

And kept on rowing his old boat

Across the ancient lake.

And the frog said again:

“Old man,

If you kiss me

I will turn into a beautiful young princess,

And you can do whatever you want with me.”

And the old man smiled,

And looked at the frog,

And carried on rowing his old boat

Across the ancient lake.

(You can make the difference)

And there was a long silence

(You can make the difference)

While the guitar played.

(You can make the difference)

The frog said to the old man:

(You can make the difference)

“Old man, why won’t you kiss me?”

The old man looked at the frog

And stopped rowing

His old boat across the ancient lake,

Put his hands in the air

And shrugged his shoulders

And said: “At my age

I’d rather have a talking frog.”

You can make the difference.

You can make the difference.
