Текст песни Sheep (Bonnie "Prince" Billy) с переводом

Born in sheep’s blood plain and simple

Washed out of my mother’s temple

All around I heard them laughing

As father sheep had stood there calving

Black they were, with white eyes gleaming

Right in heaven life was seeming

Brittle wind blew snow upon me

I got blanketed all white and frosty

In my time I grew and killed them

Or out of memory I willed them

And willed in a greater history

Out of massacre and mystery

Was no longer wealthy, woolly

Nor anything I could grasp fully

Someone rush to re-inject me

God of gods, won’t you protect me?

Fixed my face and marching onward

Marching running ever forward

Buildings were a bloody vessel

Edging me below the trestle

There in coal and whitened gravel

I built a shield of wooden baffle

Inside of which I raised a fire

So I could tonight retire

Everyone will tell you it’s evil to be

A free-thinking pecker like bonnie old me

But I’ll flex my armies and blow out my gut

And prove I’ll be loved by any old slut

Look here in my wallet, it’s loaded and true

And now I can leave here and go and find you
