I hurt myself today
Я ранил сам себя,
To see if I still feel
Я чувствовать хочу.
I focus on the pain
Я выбрал боль. Она
The only thing that's real
Реальней прочих чувств.
The needle tears a hole
Иглой пронзает плоть
The old familiar sting
Мне жало злой судьбы.
Try to kill it all away
Забыться вновь хочу,
But I remember everything
Но не могу забыть.
What have I become?
Ну и что теперь,
My sweetest friend
Любезный мой?
Everyone I know
Все, кого я знал,
Goes away in the end
Больше не со мной.
And you could have it all
Грязное моё
My empire of dirt
Княжество, изволь,
I will let you down
Забирай. Но знай:
I will make you hurt
Я дам тебе лишь боль.
I wear this crown of shit**
В дерьмовом сел венце
Upon my liar's chair
Я на престол лжеца,
Full of broken thoughts
И разум мой разбит,
I cannot repair
И близок час конца.
Beneath the stains of time
Время всё сотрёт,
The feelings disappear
Чувства все умрут.
You are someone else
Ты уже не тот,
I am still right here
А я и ныне тут.
What have I become?
Ну и что теперь,
My sweetest friend
Любезный мой?
Everyone I know
Все, кого я знал,
Goes away in the end
Больше не со мной.
And you could have it all
Грязное моё
My empire of dirt
Княжество, изволь,
I will let you down
Забирай. Но знай:
I will make you hurt
Я дам тебе лишь боль.
If I could start again
Вернуться бы назад
A million miles away
На миллионы миль
I would keep myself
Я б выбрал путь другой,
I would find a way
Иначе жизнь прожил.
pees: "Hurt" Original song by Nine Inch Nails
The country legend takes on one of the darkest, most depressing songs in a Nine Inch Nails catalog full of doom and gloom, and wouldn't you know it, he turns in an equally harrowing cover. Johnny Cash surprised the music world when he redid 'Hurt' -- a standout track on NIN's double-album magnum opus 'The Downward Spiral' -- as an acoustic ballad for his 'American IV: The Man Comes Around' covers set. As even Reznor admits, the Man In Black made the song his own. "It was this other person inhabiting my most personal song ... It felt invasive," Reznor once said. "Cash brings a certain darkness to the song. It's melancholy and spooky."
