Текст песни My Proud Mountains (John T. Van Zandt) с переводом

My home is Colorado with her proud mountains tall

Where the rivers like gypsies down her black canyons fall

Well, I’m a long way from Denver with a long way to go

So lend an ear to my singin' 'cause I’ll be back no more

Well, I left as a young man not a full seventeen

With nothin' for company but the wind and a dream

About all the fast ladies and livin' I’d find

When I left my proud mountains and rivers behind

Well, I rolled and I rambled like a leaf in the wind

And I found my fast ladies and some hard livin' men

Well, I sometimes went hungry with my pockets all bare

And I sometimes had good luck with money to spare

And I made me some friends Lord, whom I won’t soon forget

Well, some are down under and some are ramblin' yet

But as for me, well I’m headed for home

Back to high Colorado never more for to roam

So friends when my time comes as surely it will

Just carry my body out to some lonesome hill

And lay me down easy where the cool rivers run

With only my mountains between me and the sun

My home is Colorado
