Эквиритмический перевод песни "Throw These Guns Away" британского певца Теда Кристофера (Ted Christofer) с сингла 1996 года.
С 15 декабря 1996 года песня возглавляла британский чарт "UK Singles Chart" в течение 1 недели.
13 марта 1996 года в шотландском городке Данблейн (Dunblane) произошла одна из самых страшных трагедий в Великобритании. 43-летний Томас Уотт Гамильтон (Thomas Watt Hamilton) расстрелял 16 детей начальной школы и учительницу, пытавшуюся их защитить, после чего застрелился. Местные жители написали "Подснежниковую петицию" с целью запретить продажу самозарядного оружия в Великобритании. В поддержку выступили многие музыканты. Шотландский певец Тед Кристофер (Ted Christofer) с согласия Боба Дилана написал новый куплет к его песне "Knockin' on Heaven's Door" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lCUc2b6ikyg).

РУЖЬЯ ВЫБРОСЬТЕ
(перевод Евгения Соловьева)
Когда лёг вечер и стемнело,
И на сердце тяжело от слёз,
Взгляд подними, взгляни на небо.
Семнадцать там зажглось новых звёзд.
When evening comes and light is fading
And your heart is heavy from the tears
Lift up your eyes and look to heaven
For seventeen new stars have appeared
They shine their love down upon us
And the message of their love is clear
Lost familiar voices softly whispering in the wind
And pleading that this time we will hear
Throw these guns away
Throw these guns away
They've caused this world too much pain
Let our old friends play
In a safer day
Say the bairns of Dunblane
Each of them maiden and the boys
Them on the moon tonight
Who sees between us pretty voice
The same old bright side
Throw these guns away
Throw these guns away
They've caused this world too much pain
Let the children play
Let the children play
For the bairns of Dunblane
We're building the roads that the future travels
We can ensure that no other town must bear
More lost familiar voices softly whispering in the wind
Pleading that this time we will hear
Throw these guns away
Throw these guns away
They've caused this world too much pain
Let the children play
Let the children play
For the bairns of Dunblane
Throw these guns away
Throw these guns away
They've caused this world too much pain
Let the children play
Let the children play
For the bairns of Dunblane
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
I've been there too many times before

THROW THESE GUNS AWAY
(Ted Christofer, Tommy Millar)
When evening comes and light is fading
And your heart is heavy from the tears
Lift up your eyes and look to heaven
For seventeen new stars have appeared
They shine their love down upon us
And the message of their love is clear
Lost familiar voices softly whispering in the wind
And pleading that this time we will hear
Throw these guns away
Throw these guns away
They've caused this world too much pain
Let our old friends play
In a safer day
Say the bairns of Dunblane
Each of them maiden and the boys
Them on the moon tonight
Who sees between us pretty voice
The same old bright side
Throw these guns away
Throw these guns away
They've caused this world too much pain
Let the children play
Let the children play
For the bairns of Dunblane
We're building the roads that the future travels
We can ensure that no other town must bear
More lost familiar voices softly whispering in the wind
Pleading that this time we will hear
Throw these guns away
Throw these guns away
They've caused this world too much pain
Let the children play
Let the children play
For the bairns of Dunblane
Throw these guns away
Throw these guns away
They've caused this world too much pain
Let the children play
Let the children play
For the bairns of Dunblane
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
I've been there too many times before
