The Rolling Stones – Far Away Eyes

I was driving home early Sunday morning through Bakersfield
Listening to gospel music on the colored radio station
And the preacher said, “You know you always have the
Lord by your side”

And I was so pleased to be informed of this that I ran
Twenty red lights in his honor
Thank you Jesus, thank you lord

I had an arrangement to meet a girl, and I was kind of late
And I thought by the time I got there she’d be off
She’d be off with the nearest truck driver she could find
Much to my surprise, there she was sittin in the corner
A little bleary, worse for wear and tear
Was a girl with far away eyes

So if you’re down on your luck
And you can’t harmonize
Find a girl with far away
And if you’re downright disgusted
And life ain’t worth a dime
Get a girl with far away eyes

Well the preacher kept right on saying that all I had to do was send
Ten dollars to the church of the sacred bleeding heart of Jesus
Located somewhere in Los Angeles, California
And next week they’d say my prayer on the radio
And all my dreams would come true
So I did, the next week, I got a prayer with a girl
Well, you know what kind of eyes she got

So if you’re down on your luck
I know you all sympathize
Find a girl with far away eyes
And if you’re downright disgusted
And life ain’t worth a dime
Get a girl with far away eyes

Prevod pesme

Sanjarske oči

Vozio sam kući kroz Bejkersfild u nedelju ujutru rano
Slušajući gospel muziku na obojenoj radio stanici
A propovednik je rekao, “Znaš, Gospod je uvek
uz tebe”

I bilo mi je tako drago što to čujem da sam dvadeset
puta projurio kroz crveno, u njegovu čast
Hvala ti Isuse, hvala ti Bože

Imao sam dogovoreno da se nađem s jednom devojkom, i pomalo sam kasnio
I mislio sam da će ona otići dok ja ne stignem
Da će otići sa prvim kamiondžijom kojeg nađe
Na moje opšte iznenađenje, bila je tamo sedeći u uglu
Pomalo iznurena, istrošena
bila je devojka sa sanjarskim očima

Zato, ako vam ponestaje sreće
i mir ne nalazite
Devojku sa sanjarskim očima sebi nađite
I ako vam se sve totalno gadi
I život vam ni pare ne vredi
Devojku sa sanjarskim očima sebi nađite

Pa, propopovednik je nastavio, govoreći da je sve što treba da uradim da pošaljem
Deset dolara crkvi Presvetog srca Isusova
Smeštenu negde u Los Anđelesu, Kalifornija
I da će se onda pomoliti za mene na radiju naredne nedelje
I svi moji snovi ispunili bi se
Tako da sam to uradio, i sledeće nedelje moja je molba uslišena, uz devojku
Pa, znaš kakve je oči imala

Tako da, ako vam sreće ponestaje
Znam da svi saosećate
Devojku sa sanjarskim očima sebi nađite
I ako vam se sve totalno gadi
I život vam ni pare ne vredi
Devojku sa sanjarskim očima sebi nađite
