Перевод песни

Песня: Ten Cents a Dance*
I work at the Palace Ballroom,
But gee that Palace is cheap;
When I get back to my chilly hall room
I'm much too tired to sleep.
I'm one of those lady teachers
A beautiful hostess, you know
The kind the Palace features
For only a dime a throw.

Ten cents a dance
That's what they pay me
Gosh, how they weigh me down!
Ten cents a dance
Pansies and rough guys,
Tough guys who tear my gown!
Seven to midnight I hear drums
Loudly the saxophone blows
Trumpets are tearing my eardrums.
Customers crush my toes.
Sometime I think
I've found my hero,
But it's a queer romance.
All that you need is a ticket,
Come on, big boy
Ten cents a dance

Fighters and sailors and bowlegged tailors
Can pay for their ticket and rent me!
Butchers and barbers and rats from the harbors
Are sweethearts my good luck has sent me.
Though I've a chorus of elderly beaux,
Stockings are porous with holes at the toes.
I'm here till closing time,
Dance and be merry, it's only a dime.

Sometime I think
I've found my hero,
But it's a queer romance.
All that you need is a ticket.
Come on, big boy
Ten cents a dance.


* – OST Love Me Or Leave Me (1955) (саундтрек к фильму "Люби меня или покинь меня")

Перевод песни:
Десять центов за танец

Я работаю во Дворце танцев,
Но, боже, это небогатый дворец.
Возвращаясь в прохладный бальный зал,
Я слишком устаю, чтобы спать.
Я одна из тех женщин-учителей,
Прекрасных партнёрш для танцев,
Из тех, кого Дворец держит
Всего лишь за дайм. 1..... [открыть перевод]
