Перевод песни Each small candle — Roger Waters

Not the torturer will scare me
Nor the body's final fall
Nor the barrels of death's rifles
Nor the shadows on the wall
Nor the night when to the ground
The last dim star of pain, is hurled
But the blind indifference
Of a merciless, unfeeling world

Lying in the burnt out shell
Of some Albanian farm
An old Babushka
Holds a crying baby in her arms
A soldier from the other side
A man of heart and pride
Breaks ranks, lays down his rifle
To kneel by her side

He gives her water, binds her wounds
And calms the crying child
Her touch gives absolution then
Across the great divide
He picks his way back through
The Broken China of her life
And there at the curb
The samaritan Serb turns and waves ... goodbye

And each small candle (each small candle)
Lights a corner of the dark (lights a corner of the dark)
Each small candle (each small candle)
Lights a corner of the dark (lights a corner of the dark)
(Each small candle lights a corner of the dark)
When the wheel of pain stops turning
(And the branding iron stops burning)
When the children can be children
(When the desperados weaken)
When the tide rolls into greet them
(And the natural law of science)
Greets the humble and the mighty
(And the billion candles burning)
(Lights the dark side of every human mind)

Each small candle
Each small candle
Each small candle
Each small candle
Each small candles lights the dark side
of every human mind

And each small candle (each small candle)
Lights a corner of the dark...
