Текст песни The Jolly Beggar - Reel (Planxty) с переводом

It’s of a jolly beggarman came tripping o’er the plain

He came unto a farmer’s door a lodging for to gain

The farmer’s daughter she came down and viewed him cheek and chin

She says, He is a handsome man. I pray you take him in

We’ll go no more a roving, a roving in the night

We’ll go no more a roving, let the moon shine so bright

We’ll go no more a roving

He would not lie within the barn nor yet within the byre

But he would in the corner lie down by the kitchen fire

O then the beggar’s bed was made of good clean sheets and hay

And down beside the kitchen fire the jolly beggar lay

The farmer’s daughter she got up to bolt the kitchen door

And there she saw the beggar standing naked on the floor

He took the daughter in his arms and to the bed he ran

Kind sir, she says, be easy now, you’ll waken our goodman

Now you are no beggar, you are some gentleman

For you have stolen my maidenhead and I am quite undone

I am no lord, I am no squire, of beggars I be one

And beggars they be robbers all, so you re quite undone

She took the bed and threw it to the wall

Said go you beggar go the well
