Подкинули сегодня ссылку на
Awesome Book.
Занятная интерактивная книжка. Обложка переведена, видимо, Google Translate, а вот внутри уже вполне себе поэтический перевод. Но лично мне удобнее было смотреть и слушать в оригинале.
Awesome BookThere are places in the world
Where people do not dream…
Of rocket-powered unicorns
And candy cane machines,
Of magic watermelon boats
And musical baboons,
Or teeny tiny trumpet players
Training pet raccoons.
Yes there are places in the world
Where people dream up dreams
So simply un-fantastical
And practical they seem…
To lose all possibility
Of thinking super things,
Of dancing wild animals
With diamond-coated wings
Instead they dream of furniture,
Of buying a new hat,
Of owning matching silverware...
Could you imagine that?
Instead they lay awake at night
Wishing for a car
Not one that runs on jellybeans…
But one that’s reg-u-lar
They dream of breakfast sandwiches,
They dream of telephones,
Sometimes they even dream of dreams
That aren’t even their own.
Yes there are places in the world
Where dreams are almost dead,
So please my child do keep in mind
Before you go to bed:
To dream a dream as big,
As big could ever dream to be,
Then dream a dream ten times as big
As that one dream you see.
Then once you’ve got that dream in mind
Please dream a million more
And not a million quiet dreams
A million dreams that roar!
A million dreams so loud they scream,
So loud they sing and shout,
So super huge they say:
“Hey world! Guess what I’m dreamin’ bout”
“I’m dreaming about everything
that no one thought to wonder
Dreams so big that they’ve got dreams
And they’ve got dreams up under!”
Please dream for those who’ve given up,
For those who’ve never tried,
Please use your dreams to make new dreams
For all the dreams that died
Cause you’re the one whose dreams can be
Whatever dreams you want,
Whose dreams can change the way things are
And the way that things are not,
And if they say that all your dreams
Are too big to come true
You tell them that I told you…
“That’s what dreams are meant to do!”
They’re meant to make you seem as if
You don’t know up from down
Because dreams are dreams and that’s why
Dreams are worth having around!
So when you think your dreaming’s done
Just remember what I said
“Close your eyes, my child,
and dream that perfect dream inside your head”Мечтаем-с.)
