Текст песни Big House, Middle House, Back House, Barn (Schooner Fare) с переводом

BIG HOUSE, MIDDLE HOUSE, BACK HOUSE, BARN

Dave had the signature rhythm and bounce that starts the song in his

Head and Tom had a Big House, Middle House, Back House, Barn. The

Two took the extended New England farmhouse and applied the

Metaphor to the many families who grew up in one. «Big House» has

Gone on to become one of the group’s favorite sing-a-longs.

Through the big house, middle house, back house, barn,

Goes the kitten with a mitten and a ball of yarn;

All a’scitter and a’scamper, gonna upset Grandpa

By playing under his chair.

From the halls with the walls and the floors well worn

To the room in the eaves where the kids were born;

It’s the place we grew 'til we finally knew

We’d have to leave it all behind.

And I can see like yesterday the smile on Grandma’s face.

And I can hear the love we shared as it echoes in this space.

And though it’s just a memory, it cannot be erased;

For like the big house, middle house, back house, barn,

We’re connected to this place.

In the big house, middle house, back house, barn,

There’s Dad with Mother on his arm.

You can tell inside he’s filled with pride;

You can see it in his sparklin' eyes.

When they built this house it was strong and stout,

And it took a lot of love to keep the weather out.

It held our faith and cradled our dreams

And kept us warm and dry.

In the big house, middle house, back house, barn,

We still live here and life goes on.

There’ve been a few changes and a few rearranges

But the love remains the same.

And we all meet here maybe once a year

And we talk about the folks we hold so dear;

And the kids make noise as they play with toys

That come from another time.
