D'Artagnan in "The Three Musketeers"

med_cat: (cat in dress)
Hey, [livejournal.com profile] charleygirl, [livejournal.com profile] capt_facepalm, [livejournal.com profile] debriswoman, and [livejournal.com profile] wirral_bagpuss especially--I thought you (and perhaps others here on LJ) would like to see an excerpt from the Soviet musical film "D'Artagnan and the Three Musketeers":



Lyrics and translation:


Текст песни:

В Гасконе не известно слова трус.
Не знать мне шпаги, если вы не правы.
У нас, гасконцев, лучший в мире вкус,
Ни что нам не по вкусу кроме славы.

D'Artagnan:

In Gascony, we don't know the word 'coward'!

De Treville:

I've never held a foil in my hands, if you are wrong.

D'Artagnan:

We, the Gascons, have the most discriminating taste in the world:
There's nothing that's to our taste, except for glory!

Скуластое лицо, особенная стать,
Вот вам гасконский облик без изъяна.
Поверьте сударь вам не долго ждать.
Париж еще узнает
Париж еще узнает
Париж еще узнает Д'Артаньяна.

A face with high cheekbones, a particularly proud stance,
That's the Gascon's image for you, described precisely.
Trust me, sir, you won't have to wait long!
Paris will yet know
Paris will yet know
Paris will yet know who D'Artagnan is!

(Twirls and plops to the floor as he declaims the last line)


Бургундия, Нормандия, Шампань или Прованс.
И в ваших жилах тоже есть огонь.
Но умнице фортуне ей богу не до вас,
Пока не белом свете
Пока не белом свете
Пока не белом свете
Есть Гасконь.

(Rising from the floor)

Burgundy, Normandy, Champagne, or Provence,
Your blood, too, has passion in it.
But, by Heaven, the intelligent Dame Fortune is not going to bother with any of you much,
Until there is
Until there is
Until there is Gascony in the world.

Без славы мне в Париже не житье.
Вся жизнь прошла - пора судьбой заняться.
Так сколько же вам лет, дитя мое?
Ах, много сударь, много - восемнадцать.

I can't live in Paris, if I don't have glory.
My entire life has passed me by--it's high time I attended to my destiny!

De Treville: And how old are you, my child?

D'Artagnan: Oh, quite old, sir, eighteen already.

Рука твоя тверда? Тверда.
Вот верная черта
Гасконского прославленного стиля.
И я таким же дерзким был когда
Париж узнал гасконца
Париж узнал гасконца
Париж узнал гасконца Де Тревиля.

De Treville: Is your hand steady?

D'Artagnan: Steady.

De Treville: That is a never-failing feature
Of the famous Gascony style.

I was just as daring myself when...

D'Artagnan: When?

De Treville: When Paris came to know
When Paris came to know
When Paris came to know the Gascon De Treville!

Бургундия, Нормандия, Шампань или Прованс.
И в ваших жилах тоже есть огонь.
Но умнице фортуне ей богу не до вас,
Пока не белом свете
Пока не белом свете
Пока не белом свете
Есть Гасконь.

Both together:

Burgundy, Normandy, Champagne, or Provence,
Your blood, too, has passion in it.
But the intelligent Dame Fortune is not going to bother with any of you much, by Heaven,
While there is
While there is
While there is Gascony in the world.
