Текст песни The Crossing (Rita MacNeil) с переводом

A generation’s come from here

My father told me stories

Of how he would return one day

And in a time of glory

We were distant by a many miles

Made distant by the sailin'

I’ve come to stand in Father’s place

I heard the night winds wailin'

He was haunted by a melody

He heard so long ago

It came from in his mother’s heart

And touched his very soul

Oh I’ve often heard him speak your name

Although we’ve never met

I’ve come to see, for Father now

To put his mind to rest

And when the night lies over you

And I lay gently dreamin'

Although the candle burns no more

The journey’s now completed

The past is far behind us now

It was buried in the crossin'

We have our place that bears the trace

Of time so long forgotten

We were distant by a broken tides

Made distant by the ocean

I’ve come to stand in father’s place

I heard the night winds callin'

He was haunted by a melody

He heard so long ago

It came from in his mother’s heart

And touched his very soul

Oh I’ve often heard him speak your name

Although we’ve never met

I’ve come to see for father now

To put his mind to rest

And when the night lies over you

And I lay gently dreamin'

Although the candle burns no more

The journey’s now completed

And when the night lies over you

And I lay gently dreamin'

Although the candle burns no more

The journey’s now completed
