Текст песни Bonnie Ship The Diamond (Roger McGuinn) с переводом

The Diamond is a ship my boys, for Greenland she is bound

And the quay it is all garnished with bonny lassies 'round

The captain gives the order to sail the ocean wide

Where the sun it never sets my lads, no darkness dims the tide

So cheer up my lads let your hearts never fail

While the bonnie ship, the Diamond goes fishin' for the whale

Along the quay at Peterhead, the lassies stand around

With their shawls about their heads and salt tears runnin' down

I’ll never weep my bonny lad though I’m left behind

For there’s not a rose on Greenland’s ice to make you change your mind

So cheer up my lads let your hearts never fail

While the bonnie ship, the Diamond goes fishin' for the whale

Here’s a health to the resolution likewise the Eliza Swan

A health to the Battle of Montrose and the Diamond ship of fame

They wear the trousers of the white the jackets of the blue

When they return to Peterhead they’ll find that we’ve been true

So cheer up my lads let your hearts never fail

While the bonnie ship, the Diamond goes fishin' for the whale

It’ll be bright both day and night when the Greenland lads come home

With a ship that’s full of oil my lads and money to their name

They’ll make the cradles for to rock and the blankets for to tear

And every lass in Peterhead sing hush-a-bye my dear

So cheer up my lads let your hearts never fail

While the bonnie ship, the Diamond goes fishin' for the whale
