Текст песни: Paradise By the Dashboard Light + перевод

1. PARADISE

BOY: Meat Loaf

I remember every little thing as if it happened only yesterday

Parking by the lake and there was not another car in sight

And I never had a girl looking any better than you did

And all the kids at school, they were wishing they were me that night

And now our bodies are oh so close and tight

It never felt so good, it never felt so right

And we’re glowing like the metal on the edge of a knife

Glowing like the metal on the edge of a knife

C’mon! Hold on tight!

Well c’mon! Hold on tight!

BOY and GIRL:

Though it’s cold and lonely in the deep dark night

I can see paradise by the dashboard light

GIRL: Ellen Foley

Ain’t no doubt about it, we were doubly blessed

Cause we were barely seventeen and we were barely dressed

Ain’t no doubt about it, baby got to go and shout it

Ain’t no doubt about it, we were doubly blessed

Cause we were barely seventeen and we were barely dressed

BOY:

Baby doncha hear my heart? You got it drowning out the radio

I’ve been waiting so long for you to come along and have some fun

And I gotta let you know, No you never gonna regret it

So open up your eyes, I got a big surprise, it’ll feel all right

Well I wanna make your motor run

And now our bodies are oh so close and tight

It never felt so good, it never felt so right

And we’re glowing like the metal on the edge of a knife

Glowing like the metal on the edge of a knife

C’mon! Hold on tight!

Well c’mon! Hold on tight!

Though it’s cold and lonely in the deep dark night

I can see paradise by the dashboard light

Though it’s cold and lonely in the deep dark night

Paradise by the dashboard light

You got to do what you can

And let Mother Nature do the rest

Ain’t no doubt about it

We were doubly blessed

Cause we were barely seventeen

And we were barely-

BOY and GIRL:

We’re gonna go all the way tonight

We’re gonna go all the way and tonight’s the night

We’re gonna go all the way tonight

We’re gonna go all the way and tonight’s the night

We’re gonna go all the way tonight

We’re gonna go all the way and tonight’s the night

We’re gonna go all the way tonight

We’re gonna go all the way and tonight’s the night

RADIO BROADCAST: Phil Rizzuto

OK, here we go, we got a real pressure cooker going here

Two down, nobody on, no score, bottom of the ninth

There’s the windup, and there it is, a line shot up the middle

Look at him go. This boy can really fly! He’s rounding first and really

Turning it on now, he’s not letting up at all, he’s gonna try for

Second; the ball is bobbled out in center, and here comes the

Throw, and what a throw! He’s gonna slide in head first, here he

Comes, he’s out! No, wait, safe — safe at second base, this kid

Really makes things happen out there. Batter steps up to the

Plate, here’s the pitch-he's going, and what a jump he’s got

He’s trying for third, here’s the throw, it’s in the dirt-safe at

Third! Holy cow, stolen base! He’s taking a pretty big lead out

There, almost daring him to try and pick him off. The pitcher

Glances over, winds up, and it’s bunted, bunted down the third

Base line, the suicide squeeze is on! Here he comes, squeeze

Play, it’s gonna be close, here’s the throw, here’s the play at the plate

Holy cow, I think he’s gonna make it!

III. PRAYING FOR THE END OF TIME

I couldn’t take it any longer

Lord I was crazed

And when the feeling came upon me

Like a tidal wave

Started swearing to my god and on my mother’s grave

That I would love you to the end of time

I swore that I would love you to the end of time!

So now I’m praying for the end of time

To hurry up and arrive

Cause if I gotta spend another minute with you

I don’t think that I can really survive

I’ll never break my promise or forget my vow

But God only knows what I can do right now

I’m praying for the end of time

It’s all that I can do

Praying for the end of time

So I can end my time with you!

BOY:

It was long ago and it was far away

And It was so much better that it is today

It was long ago and it was far away

And It was so much better that it is today

It was long ago and it was far away

And It was so much better that it is today

It was long ago and it was far away

And It was so much better that it is today

It was long ago and it was far away

And It was so much better that it is today

It was long ago and it was far away

And It was so much better that it is today

It was long ago and it was far away

And It was so much better that it is today

GIRL:

It never felt so good

It never felt so right

And we were glowing like

A metal on the edge of a knife
