Текст песни The Wren (Jack Hardy) с переводом

What could ever drive a man

To venture out in all this cold?

What could ever be the dream upon his mind

Or the voice he heard come singing through the snow?

Singing down down, bless this soul

Singing down down, this i know

Singing down down down down, waming must be sent

And by foot it must be brought and so we went

For the wren

When all the people are quite warm

Except the few who gather fuel

They dread the wind when it gathers in the north

That causes all the gods to be so cruel

Singing down down bless this soul

Singing down down this i know

Singing down down down down to the forest end

And perhaps it might be there we apprehend

The wren

These of caution to be seen

Abroad at night about the queen

When all the world knows that deep down inside

The burden of paradise is mean

Singing down down bless this soul

Singing down down this i know

Singing down down down down games of pretend

Whether howling at the moon or magdalen

Or the wren

A flock of birds must crown a king

Against the wind and under wing

And never notice when the one in front he falls

And another takes his place to gather all

Singing down down bless this soul

Singing down down this i know

Singing down down down down hear the voices blend

Though those who stand behind will not defend

The wren
