Текст песни The Mermaid (Heritage String Band) с переводом

It was Friday morn

as we set sail

and we were not far from the land

when our captain he spied

a mermaid so fair

with a comb and a glass in her hand

And the ocean waves do roll

and the stormy winds do blow

and we poor sailors are skipping at the top

while the landlubbers lying down

below below below

while the landubbers lying below.

And up spoke the captain

of our gallant ship

and a fine old man was he.

Said this vision of the maid

has warned us of our doom.

we shall sink to the bottom of the sea.

And the ocean waves do roll

and the stormy winds do blow

and we poor sailors are skipping at the top

while the landlubbers ly down

below below below

while the landlubbers ly down below.

Then up spoke the first mate

of our gallant ship

and a fine spoken man was he

saying I have a wife

in Salem by the sea

And tonight she a widow will be

And the ocean waves do roll

and the stormy winds do blow

and we poor sailors are skipping at the top

while the landlubbers ly down

below below below

while the landlubbers ly down below.

And up spoke the cabin boy

of our gallant ship

and a brave fine lad was he

I’ve a father I’ve a mother

in a warren by the bay

and tonight they childless will be

And the ocean waves do roll

and the stormy winds do blow

and we poor sailors are skipping at the top

while the landubbers ly down

below below below

while the landubbers ly down below.

And up spoke the cook

of our gallant ship

and a crazy old butcher was he

I care much more

for me pots and me pans

than I do for the bottom of the sea.

And the ocean waves do roll

and the stormy winds do blow

and we poor sailors are skipping at the top

while the landlubbers ly down

below below below

while the landlubbers ly down below.

And three time round

we spun our gallant ship

and three times round spun she

three times round

we spun our gallant ship

and she sank to the bottom of the sea.

And the ocean waves do roll

and the stormy winds do blow

and we poor sailors are skipping at the top

while the landlubbers lie down

below below below

while the landlubbers lie down below.
