Текст песни Oak & Ash & Thorn (Coyote Run) с переводом

Sing oak and ash and thorn, my love

All on a midsummer’s morn!

Surely we sing of no little thing

With oak and ash and thorn!

Of all the trees that are in the wood

Old England to adorn

Greater are none beneath the sun

Than oak and ash and thorn

Sing oak and ash and thorn, my love

All on a midsummer’s morn!

Surely we sing of no little thing

With oak and ash and thorn!

Oak of the clay saw many a day

Or ever Aeneas began

Ash of the loam was a lady at home

When Brut was an outlaw man

Thorn of the down saw New Troy Town

From which was London born

Witness hereby the ancientry

Of oak and ash and thorn!

Sing oak and ash and thorn, my love

All on a midsummer’s morn!

Surely we sing of no little thing

With oak and ash and thorn!

Yew that is old in graveyard mould

He breedeth a mighty bow

Alder for shoes do wise folk choose

And beech for cups also

But when you have killed, and your bowl is spilled

Your shoes are clean outworn

Back ye must speed for all that you need

To oak and ash and thorn!

Sing oak and ash and thorn, my love

All on a midsummer’s morn!

Surely we sing of no little thing

With oak and ash and thorn!

Now, Ellum she hates mankind, and waits

'Til every gust be laid

To drop a limb on the head of him

That anyway trusts her shade

But whether a lad be sober or sad

Or mellow with ale from the horn

He’ll commit no wrong when he lieth along

'Neath oak and ash and thorn!

Sing oak and ash and thorn, my love

All on a midsummer’s morn!

Surely we sing of no little thing

With oak and ash and thorn!

Sing oak and ash and thorn, my love

All on a midsummer’s morn!

Surely we sing of no little thing

With oak and ash and thorn!

Now, do not tell the priests of our right

For they would call it a sin

But we’ve been out in the woods all night

A-conjuring summer in!

And now we bring good word by mouth

For children, cattle, and corn

Now is the sun come up from the south

With oak and ash and thorn!

Sing oak and ash and thorn, my love

All on a midsummer’s morn!

Surely we sing of no little thing

With oak and ash and thorn!

Sing oak and ash and thorn, my love

All on a midsummer’s morn!

Surely we sing of no little thing

With oak and ash and thorn!
