Советские барды и английская классика⁠⁠

Собственно, неплохой перевод стихов Рельярда Киплинга. И да, я знаю, что боян 1812 года, но оригинал текста не мог не запостить.

I've never sailed the Amazon,

I've never reached Brazil;

But the Don and Magdalena,

They can go there when they will!

Yes, weekly from Southampton

Great steamers, white and gold,

Go rolling down to Rio

(Roll down--roll down to Rio!).

And I'd like to roll to Rio

Some day before I'm old!

I've never seen a Jaguar,

Nor yet an Armadill-

He's dilloing in his armour,

And I s'pose I never will,

Unless I go to Rio

These wonders to behold--

Roll down--roll down to Rio--

Roll really down to Rio!

Oh, I'd love to roll to Rio

Some day before I'm old!
