Текст песни Sandman's Song (Anne Briggs) с переводом

Hello there sandman

Won’t you come in sit yourself down?

Hey there sandman

I know you’ve been working downtown

I don’t mind you keeping me waiting

Won’t be long before the dawn is breaking

Come on sandman, it’s very quiet

Come on sandman you stay the night

We’ll wake up in the broad daylight

I dreamed I was walking

I went steppin' beside the sea

When suddenly a stranger

He came following after me

He caught me up, he says, «Help me if you can

For I work on the beach, I’m the punch and judy man

Every night when a’fore I go home

I realize I’m not alone

There’s voices in the sea, colored lights in the foam»

We walked together

And I formulated a plan

And I said, «Just wait there»

I fetched the family photograph man

Told him the words the puppeteer had said

And he told me he thought it the boat of the dead

So we waited til the dark, we saw a silver moonlit arc

Beneath it sailed a shining bark

Out on the tideline

Strange singing voices we heard

So like some color

Or the flight of a golden bird

Fine rainfall drifted from the sky

And the golden bark with her cargo sailed by

So we waited on the land

We were dancing hand in hand

Wheeling across the shining sand

Hello there sandman

Won’t you come in and sit yourself down

Hey, hey there sandman

I know you’ve been working downtown

I don’t mind you keeping me waiting

Won’t be long before the dawn is breaking

Come on sandman, it’s very quiet

Come on sandman, stay the night

We’ll wake up in the broad daylight
