Текст песни Bird In The Bush (Anne Briggs) с переводом

Three maidens a-milking did go

Three maidens a-milking did go

And the wind it blow high and the wind it did blow low

It tossed their petticoats to and fro

They met with a young man they know

They met with a young man they know

And they’ve asked it of him if he had any skill

To catch them a small bird or two

Oh yes, I’ve a very good skill

Oh yes, I’ve a very good skill

And it’s come away with me to the yonder flowering tree

And I’ll catch you a small bird or two

So it’s off to the greenwoods went they

It’s off to the greenwoods went they

And he’s tapped at the bush and the bird it did fly in

Just a little above her white knee

And her sparkling eyes they did turn round

Just as if she was in a swound

And she cried «Oh, I’ve a bird and a very pretty bird

He’s a-pecking away at his own ground»

Here’s a health to the bird in the bush

Here’s a health to the bird in the bush

And we’ll drink up the sun, and we’ll drink down the moon

Let the neighbours say little or much
