Текст песни Bonny Lass of Anglesey (Wishing Chair) с переводом

There he sits and there he stands

Oh, what a frightend king is he

Fifteen lords have all come down

To dance his gold and his lands away

There he stands at the castle high

So loud, so loud I heard him cry

Saddle your horse and bring to me

The bonny lass of Anglesey

There he stands at the castle high

And so loud, so loud, I heard him cry

Go saddle your horse and bring to me

The bonnie lass of Anglesey

Some rode North and some rode South

But some to the East rode straightway

Saw her there on the mountain high

The bonnie lass of Anglesey

Up she starts as white as the milk

Between the king and all of his company

What is the prize I have to ask

If I do gain the victory

Fifteen plows, a house and a mill

I will give to thee till the day thou dies

The fairest knight in all my court

For your husband for to be

Fifteen plows, a house, and a mill

Come now, that’s no prize for the victory

And there is no knight in all your court

That shall have me as a wife to be

Up she starts as white as the milk

She dances light as a leaf on the broken sea

Fifteen lords all cried out loud

For the bonnie lass of Anglesey

She’s taken fourteen, one by one

Saying, sweet kind sir, will you dance with me

But e’er it’s ten o’clock at night

They gave it o’er right shamefully

But up and rose the fifteenth knight

And o, what an angry man was he

My feet will be my death

E’re she gains the victory

He laid aside his buckler and sword

And he strode, he strode so manfully

But e’er it’s ten o’clock of the morn

He gave it o’er right shamefully

She’s taken all their bucklers and swords

She’s taken their gold and their bright money

And back to the mountains she’s away

The bonnie lass of Anglesey

Fifteen lords come a swaggering down

For to dance and gain the victory

Fifteen lords and one high king

Go ragged and bare today
