Текст песни So Sang The River (Bill Staines) с переводом

I am the Missouri and I travel on down

Across the Dakotas by the midwestern towns

Oh, I water your farms with my silvery hand

And forever I’ll travel in the heard of the land

I am tho Ohio and my water is wide

By the banks of Kentucky, I travel with pride

From the old Allegheny forever I’ll run

And I’ll carry your people in the light of the sun

So sang the river as its waters glided low

So sang the river, I’ve a long long way to go

I am the border, the old Rio Grande

My waters they cut through the southwestern land

From the deserts and badlands through the canyons so deep

I’ll stretch my green ribbon and I never will sleep

So sang the river as its waters glided low

So sang the river, I’ve a long long way to go

I am the American and I carry the gold

In the hills of California my story was told

Of how men with the fever fell on me like rain

And dug for my treasure 'til nothing remained

So sang the river as its waters glided low

So sang the river, I’ve a long long way to go

I am the Hudson, the Merrimac, too

The Snake and the Pecos, the Green and the Blue

And my waters they run just as sure as a song

And forever I’ll sing if you let me live on

So sang the river as its waters glided low

So sang the river, I’ve a long long way to go

So sang the river as its waters glided low

So sang the river, I’ve a long long way to go

So sang the river, I’ve a long long way to go

So sang the river, I’ve a long long way to go
