Текст песни Song of the Witches (S. J. Tucker) с переводом

You think you know witches from stories and such

Maybe the truth isn’t asking too much

We look at the future and help it along

To stir such a cauldron, you’ve got to be strong

It’s grander than fiction, the life that we lead

Just think of your prospects, my darling take heed:

A sprinkle of glamour, a dollop of charm, trading

Family secrets and recipes long as your arm!

Ask us to glance at your schedule next week

We’ll churn you a forecast that wriggles and reeks

Made of salt and umbrellas and typewriters too

And all of the things that you’re ever to do

There’s no need for vanity, no need for fuss

We know that you’re bursting to be one of us

We stir up the truth, but it’s never to harm, steeped in

Family secrets and recipes long as your arm!

Tyranny’s child has not broken us yet

Try as she might, not a drop will she get

Tyranny’s tantrums have come into play

Striking down witches for what we don’t say

Oh, no

On the outside we look proper and prim but we

Battle nobility’s ill-advised whim

Shameless and shining, we always ask why, for

What cooks in our cauldron could call down the sky

Best believe we fought hard when temptation arrived

Threatening with lions and offering bribes

We’d not do her bidding and draw down the moon, though she

Murdered our brothers and mother for want of a spoon!

Tyranny’s child has not broken us yet

Try as she might, not a drop will she get!

Tyranny’s tantrums have come into play

Striking down witches for want of a day!

Oh, no

It’s when we are human that you must take care

And learn how to dance when there’s blood on the air

The world is a dangerous place, little one, but

You already know there are marvelous deeds to be done!

Wicked and strong in our shining we stand, straight

Backed with a drop of the future to hand; it’s

When we are human that you must take care, but

Wonders will come to you, darling if only you dare!

Tyranny’s child has not broken us yet!

Try as she might, not a drop will she get!

Tyranny’s towers can’t topple too soon

From striking down witches for want of a spoon

Oh no!
