Bob Dylan, a genius songwriter of our times, says i, who would hear him back in the 1960s in Pakistan. Symbolic title for this song, John Brown.Back in time, John Brown, a white man was ready and willing to shed his blood to free the black slaves. This sad song is on the same theme, but very different as a protest song against the Vietnam War.

[@angelinakorg7417]

Джон Браун шёл на войну на иностранное побережье, Его мама конечно же гордилась им! Он смотрелся мужественно в своей военной форме и всё такое. Лицо его мамы расплылось в улыбке. «О, сынок, ты так красив, я счастлива, что ты мой сын, Ты заставляешь меня гордиться тобой, когда я знаю, что в твоих руках оружие. Делай то, что говорит офицер, Множество медалей ты добудешь И мы их повесим на стену, когда ты вернешься домой» И когда старый поезд отправился, мама Джона начала кричать всем и каждому в округе: «Это мой сын, он отправляется, он солдат теперь, Вы знаете» Она убедилась, что все соседи поняли это. Однажды она получила письмо и её лицо расплывалось в улыбке, Когда она показывала их соседям. И она хвасталась своим сыном и его военной формой и оружием, И всеми этими вещами, что вы зовёте старой доброй войной. О! Старая добрая война! Потом письма перестали приходить, долгое время их не было. Они перестали приходить около 10 месяцев или больше Потом наконец пришло письмо, в нем говорилось «Приходи на вокзал, Твой сын возвращается домой с войны». Она улыбнулась и пошла прямо туда, она смотрела во все стороны, Но никак не могла увидеть своего сына. Но когда все люди разошлись, Она наконец увидела своего сына, И она не могла поверить своим глазам. О, его лицо распухло и руки у него не было, На его поясе был металлический бандаж. Он говорил тихо и медленно голосом, которого она не узнавала, также как и его лица! О! Господи! Она даже не узнавала его лица! «О, скажи мне, мой милый сын, молю, скажи мне, что они сделали. Как с тобой это произошло?» Он старался изо всех сил говорить, но его рот почти не двигался и матери пришлось отвернуться. «Разве не помнишь, мама, когда я уходил на войну, Ты думала, это лучшее, чем бы я мог заняться? Я был на поле боя, ты была дома... Вся такая гордая. Ты не побывала в моей шкуре О, и я думал, когда был там, Господи, что я тут делаю? Я стараюсь убить или умереть, если не получится. Но самое страшное было, когда я увидел своего врага близко, Я увидел его лицо, оно было таким же, как моё О, Боже! Как моё! И я не мог перестать думать, В грохоте и вони, Что я был просто куклой в спектакле. И в рёве и дыму, Эти нити наконец лопнули1 И пушечное ядро выжгло мне глаза» И он повернулся и пошел, его мать всё ещё была в шоке, глядя на его металлический бандаж, что помогал ему стоять. Но когда он повернулся, чтобы идти, он подозвал свою мать поближе, И он вывалил в её руку свои медали.
