Текст песни The Banks of the Sweet Primroses (June Tabor) с переводом

As I walked out on a midsummer’s morning

To view the field and to take the air

Down by the banks of the sweet prim-a-roses

'Twas there I beheld a most lovely fair

I said, «Fair maid, and why do you wander?

And what’s the occasion of all your grief?

I’ll make you as happy as any lady

If you will grant me one small relief.»

«Stand off, stand off, for you are deceitful

You are the false deceiving young man, 'tis plain

'Tis you that has caused my poor heart to wander

And to give me comfort lies all in vain.»

«Oh, I’ll go down to some lonesome valley

Where no man on earth there shall me find

Where the pretty little small birds do change their voices

And every moment blows blusterous wind.»

So come all young men with a mind for courting

Won’t you pay attention to what I say?

For there’s many a dark and a cloudy morning

Turns out to be a bright sunshiny day
