Текст песни: Dirty Water + перевод

I was born inside a tiny room

I couldn’t breathe, I couldn’t move

My mother cried and held me to her breast

The nurses they all gathered 'round

And one of them she held me down

And washed me in that brown and murky water

In the oceans, in the air

Dirty water everywhere

Dirty water filling up my cup

I caught a fever from the well

and eventually I couldn’t tell

the difference between the right and the wrong

and when I asked you for advice

you turned to me and you whispered 'ice'

and cooled me with that cold and dirty water

In the oceans, in the air

Dirty water everywhere

Dirty water filling up my cup

Across the sea, across the land

Every woman, every man

Has come to wash their hands

in dirty water

in dirty water

in dirty water

in dirty water

I withered as they searched for cures

For something old, for something pure

Virtues that I never could express

And finally they called the priest

Who laid me out to rest in peace

Anointed with that dark and dirty water

In the bedrooms, in the towers

in the corridors of power

Dirty water mixing with the best

Served in crystal, served in glass

In the palaces, in the bars

We all know the taste

of dirty water

of dirty water

of dirty water

of dirty water

yeah dirty water
