Текст песни From Where I Lie / Sheepcounting (John Tams) с переводом

From where I lie

The sheep can safely graze

The farm breasts through the haze

And all is still

From where I lie

A magpie skirts the vale

Reminder now of this o’er-deepening dale

And all is still

From where I lie

Where paper pours through doors

Where bureaucratic laws deny what’s yours

And all is still

From where I lie

Where rushing water scores

Where bankers close their doors

And all is still

From where I lie

This shotgun is my friend

A single not uncommon end

And all is still

From where I lie

I take a cartridge new

And on it scratch some words for you

And all is still

Sleep my pretty one sleep

Lay down in your lambskin

Now lay you down deep

And I’ll fold you in woolsey

Down-soft don’t you weep my lamb

Sleep my pretty one, sleep

One ewe tomorrow true

Two ewes aplenty

Three oh how happy we

Four nearly gentry

Five how we favoured be

Six trust to glory

And seven the world is right

Eight tells the story

Nine we may prosper true

Ten we can start anew

Sleep my pretty one sleep

Lay down in your lambskin

Now lay you down deep

And I’ll fold you in woolsey

Down-soft don’t you weep my lamb

Sleep my pretty one

Sleep my pretty one

Sleep

And all, and all is still
