Текст песни The Mountain Song (John Denver) с переводом

I came here from the city

A thousand miles away

I came just for a little while

You know I never meant to stay

I meant to take my pleasure

Have a good time and be gone

But I fell in love with a lady

Now I sing a mountain song

I listened to the music

Of the night wind in the pines

I’ve seen the quiet splendor

Of a field of columbine

I skied on crystal pathways

To a mountain peak so tall

And I walked the mighty summits

With the one who made it all

And I fell in love with a lady

'Cause I’ve seen her at her best

And I’ve walked her wild and rugged paths

Through her open wilderness

And now I never can betray her

Steal her riches and be gone

'Cause when you fall in love with a lady

You gotta sing a mountain song

Now people come from everywhere

To see what they can find

And some take lots of pictures

And some just take their time

But they’re some who take her beauty

That can’t be bought or sold

And they think of only money

While destroying wealth untold

But you fall in love with a lady

When you’ve slept upon her breast

And when you’ve walked her wild and rugged paths

To her open wilderness

And you never can betray her

Steal her riches and be gone

'Cause when you fall in love with a lady

You gotta sing a mountain song
