[Куплет 1] He set his case beside the carousel Where the salt-air vendors called their wares A sunburned kid dropped coins beside his shoe And stopped to watch the color change up there [Алдынғы қайырма] He said, “that orange isn’t going anywhere It’s just making room for something new” The passing crowd grew quiet for a moment Then the whole long boardwalk leaned in too [Қайырма] Paint it gold, paint it rose Let the last light turn the whole coast slow Sing it blue where the deep tide rolls Then lift that red till the evening takes hold Hey, come closer, let the bright day go There’s a thousand little colors in the afterglow [Куплет 2] A couple from toledo found the rhythm Two sisters spun beneath the spinning signs A vendor clapped a scoop against the counter While the gulls cut loose above the line [Алдынғы қайырма] He sang of tangerine along the water Of violet gathering past the pier A laugh went skipping through the gathered strangers And nobody was in a hurry here [Қайырма] Paint it gold, paint it rose Let the last light turn the whole coast slow Sing it blue where the deep tide rolls Then lift that red till the evening takes hold Hey, come closer, let the bright day go There’s a thousand little colors in the afterglow [Көпір] When the lamps blink on, he changes the tune The small crowd sways like the boats in the bay He tips his hat to the new-made audience And sends their laughter rolling down the way [Final chorus] Paint it gold, paint it rose Now the boardwalk’s got a brighter pulse below Sing it blue where the deep tide rolls Then lift that red till the evening takes hold Hey, come closer, let the bright day go There’s a thousand little colors in the afterglow [Аутро] Gold to rose, and the blue comes through He sings the last light into something new
