Текст песни The Lost Lady Found (Izzy) с переводом

'Twas down in yon valley a fair maid did dwell

She lived with her uncle, they all knew full well

'Twas down in yon valley where violets grew gay

Three gypsies betrayed her and stole her away

Long time she1d been missing, and could not be found;

Her uncle, he searched the country around

Till he came to the trustee, between hope and fear

The trustee made answer, She has not been here

The trustee spoke over with courage so bold

I fear she’s been lost for the sake of her gold

So we’ll have life for life, sir, the trustee did say

We’ll send you to prison, and there you shall stay

There was a young squire that loved her so

Oft times to the schoolhouse together they did go

I’m afraid she’s been murdered, so great is my fear

If I’d wings like a dove I would fly to my dear

He traveled through England, through France and through Spain

Till he ventured his life on the watery main

And he came to a house where he lodged for a night

And in that same house was his own heart’s delight

When she saw him, she knew him, and fled to his arms;

She told him her grief while he gazed on her charms

How came you to Dublin, my dearest, I pray?

Three gypsies betrayed me and stole me away

Your uncle’s in England, in prison does lie

And for your sweet sake is condemned for to die

Carry me to old England, my dearest, she cried

One thousand I’ll give thee, and will be your bride

When they came to old England her uncle to see

The cart it was under the high gallows tree;

Oh, pardon, oh, pardon, oh, pardon I crave. I’m alive

I’m alive, your dear life to save

Then from the high gallows they led him away

The bells they did ring and the music did play

Every house in that valley with mirth did resound

As soon as they heard the lost lady was found
