Текст песни Songs the Minstrel Sang (Gordon Lightfoot) с переводом

It’s almost over it’s almost done

And you can’t put the blame on anyone

It’s almost easy and it’s almost fun

Did you get caught with your britches on

Hi derry day in the month of May

Was the song the minstrel sang

To the good of Robin Hood

Maid Marian and all the gang

His aim was mean and his shot was clean

And his suit was the shade of evergreen

The folks he knew hadn’t naught to fear

When the sheriff was there they were over here

Hi derry doon in the month of June

Was the song the minstrel sung

To the good of Robin Hood’s

Good name and a place to run

He loved strong ale and a run down jail

Was the kind of a scene where he never failed

There was no man on the sea or land

Who could get Maid Marian on the trail

Hi derry day in the month of May

Was the song the minstrel sang

To the good of Robin Hood

Maid Marian and all the gang

It’s almost over it’s almost done

And you can’t put the blame on Marian

She almost made it to the friar’s gate

But the old wooden bridge wouldn’t elevate

Hi derry doon in the month of June

Was the song the minstrel sung

To the good of Robin Hood’s

Good name and a place to run
