Текст песни Lovely On The Water (Steeleye Span) с переводом

As I walked out one morning

In the springtime of the year

I overheard a sailor boy

Likewise a lady fair

They sang a song together

Made the valleys for to ring

While the birds on the spray in the meadows gay

Proclaimed the lovely spring

Said Willy unto Nancy

Oh we soon must sail away

For its lovely on the water

To hear the music play

For our Queen she do want seamen

So I will not stay on shore

I will brave the wars for my country

Where the blund’ring cannons roar

Poor Nancy fell and fainted

But soon he brought her to

For it’s there they kissed and there embraced

And took a fond adieu

Come change your ring with me my love

For we may meet once more

But there’s one above that will guard you love

Where the blund’ring cannons roar

For pounds it is our bounty

And that must do for thee

But to help the aged parents

While I am on the sea

For Tower Hill is crowded

With mother’s weeping sore

For their sons are gone to face the war

Where the blundering cannons roar
