Перевод песни

Песня: Family Tree
Before the days of Jello
Lived a prehistoric fellow,
Who loved a maid and courted her
Beneath the banyan tree.
And they had lots of children.
And their children all had children.
And they kept on having children
Until one of them had me!

[Chorus:]
We're a family and we're a tree.
Our roots go deep down in history
From my great-great-granddaddy reaching up to me,
We're a green and growing family tree.

My grandpa came from Russia;
My grandma came from Prussia;
They met in Nova Scotia,
Had my dad in Tennessee.
Then they moved to Yokohama
Where Daddy met my Mama.
Her dad's from Alabama and her mom's part Cherokee.

[Chorus]

Well one fine day I may go
To Tierra Del Fuego.
Perhaps I'll meet my wife there
And we'll move to Timbuktu.
And our kid will be bilingual,
And though she may stay single,
She could, of course, commingle with the
King of Kathmandu.

[Chorus]

The folks in Madagascar
Aren't the same as in Alaska;
They got different foods, different moods
And different colored skin.
You may have a different name,
But underneath we're much the same;
You're probably my cousin
And the whole world is our kin.

We're a family and we're a tree.
Our roots go deep down in history
From my great-great-grandmother reaching up to me,
We're a green and growing family tree.
We're a green and growing family.

Перевод песни:
Семейное дерево

Давным-давно на свете
Жил доисторический парень,
Который был влюблён в деву и ухаживал за ней
Под баньяновым деревом.
И у них была куча детей.
И у всех их детей были дети.
И они продолжали иметь детей,
Пока у одного из них не появился я!..... [открыть перевод]
