Текст песни Travis John (Jim Henry) с переводом

Under a foreign sky,

my fate awaits me.

There but for God go I,

do not forsake me.

I am a boy,

full of promise,

full of freedom;

Now joy

is dead and done,

I am gone.

Before the western sea,

my home was in the valley.

There with my family,

I took to manhood early.

I was the one

my brother called,

my mother looked to me,

her fine, strong son;

Now the joy

is dead and done,

I am gone.

Finding my way to go,

the call that I should answer;

My country’s own hero,

like music to the dancer.

I am a boy

full of promise,

full of freedom;

Now the joy

is dead and done,

I am gone.

Under a weeping willow tree

you planted roses.

There in my memory,

where my eternal ghost is.

I was a boy

full of promise,

full of freedom;

Now joy

is dead and done,

I am gone.

Now the joy

is dead and done,

I am gone.
