Текст песни Sweet William Pt. 2 (Johnny Flynn) с переводом

Will you put down your fiddle, young Willie?

Will you put down your fiddle and pray?

That the world has begun with the birth of the sun

And its death, the very same day

«Now kiss me, young lover,» cried Maggie the glover

«We're a village of babes and I’m over the moon»

«Where's all your fellas, those young buck propellers?»

Cried Willie, who swam in the room full of swoon

Will you put down your fiddle, young Willie?

Will you put down your fiddle and pray?

That the world has begun with the birth of the sun

And its death, the very same day

Still the fiddle brightly sung

Its hornpipe playing

It’s a Londonderry tune, long gone’s the afternoon

We’ll sing 'Ever and more and ever will be'

The old men he’d seen, all cracked teeth with glee

Brought gold for the boy who could carry all time

For they, in dear guardianship, sailing a broken ship

Wizened, had aged in pursuit of the wine

«It's not what I came for!» cried Will with disdain for

The din and the clamor of corsets undone

Till a glimpse of perfection in Sally’s reflection

In a mirror that carried her light like the sun

Will you put down your fiddle, young Willie?

Will you put down your fiddle and pray? (Right now)

That the world has begun with the birth of the sun

And its death, the very same day

With Will in the midst and no heat to desist

The gentrified stock who had seen off them all

Sat and laughed at the lad, seeing all that he had

And whispered their praise to the soul of his sword

If Will had known better, he’d not have known better

And history’s song would have ended with time

So it’s lucky for learning that history’s yearning

Is not in repeating, but for something that rhymes

Will you pick up your fiddle, young Willie? (Pick it up)

Will you pick up your fiddle and play

For the world has begun with the birth of the sun

And its death the very same day

Still the fiddle brightly sung

Its hornpipe playing

It’s a Londonderry tune, long gone’s the afternoon

We’ll sing 'Ever and more and ever will be'
