Текст песни First Girl I Loved (John Hartford) с переводом

Was in love with you, well-before I knew

It meant more than just wanting to be with you

I used to look for other girls that looked like you

But the laws of nature said, 'forget it, son'

'least that’s what somebody told me

I worried about it a little bit, but that’s all

I dreamt that you were Joan-of Arc

And I was Don Quixote

And everywhere we went the world was tin-foil

But I gave up dreaming, and became a priest

It put it right out of my system

I worried about it a little bit, but that’s all

Now you used to play the guitar

We worked in a country band

I hung out down on the river bank, on Sunday

Your brother was my closest friend

He drove a pickup truck

He used to bring me home sometimes, from high school

Now I was fifteen, oh the very first time

Love broke completely inside me

We young, and we were learning about it together

And we had enough of what we thought we’d need

Of those well-known secret fables

We worried about it a little bit, but that’s all

I regret my life won’t be long enough

To make love to all the women that I’d like to

Or least of all, to live with the ones I’ve loved

And I’ve never regretted a love affair

Except one and that’s all over

I worried about it a little bit, but that’s all

Now I heard you lived a-way up north

Your kids are fat and plenty

And I haven’t seen your brother since a-way last Easter

And if every other girl in the whole wide world

Was just a little bit more like you

I’d worry about it a little bit, but that’s all

Now you used to play the guitar

We worked in a country band

We hung out down on the river bank, on Sunday

Your brother was my closest friend

He drove a pickup truck

He used to bring me home sometimes, from high school
