Текст песни Twelve Gates to the City (Dave Van Ronk) с переводом

Oh, what a beautiful city ah hmm

What a beautiful city Great God

What a beautiful city, well there’s

Twelve gates to the city, hallelu'

Going on down to the river

Pick my sword up in the sand

Shove my troubles over

I done made it to the promise land

Well there’s twelve gates to the city, hallelu'

Oh, what a beautiful city ah hmm

What a beautiful city Great God

What a beautiful city, well there’s

Twelve gates to the city, hallelu'

If you see my dear old mother

Won’t you tell her please for me

Well meet me in the city

Well over in Galilee

Well there’s twelve gates to the city, hallelu'

Oh, what a beautiful city ah hmm

What a beautiful city Great God

What a beautiful city, well there’s

Twelve gates to the city, hallelu'

Well there’s three gates in the east

Well there’s three gates in the west

Three gates in the north

Well three gates in the south

Well there’s twelve gates to the city, hallelu'

Oh, what a beautiful city ah hmm

What a beautiful city Great God

What a beautiful city, well there’s

Twelve gates to the city, hallelu'

Well meet me Jesus, meet me

Won’t you meet me in the middle of the air

And if these wings should fail

Well won’t you meet me with another pair

Well don’t you know that-a

Twelve gates to the city, hallelu'

Oh, what a beautiful city ah hmm

What a beautiful city Great God

What a beautiful city, well there’s

Twelve gates to the city, hallelu'
