Текст песни White Birds (The Waterboys) с переводом

I would that we were, my beloved, white birds on the foam of the sea

Far from the rose and the lily, and fret of the flames would we be

And the flame of the blue star of twilight, hung low on the rim of the sky

Has awakened in our hearts, my beloved, a sadness that may never die,

a sadness that may never die

A weariness comes from those dreamers, dew-dabbled, the lily and rose

Ah, dream not of that, my beloved, the flame of the meteor that goes

Or the flame of the blue star that lingers hung low in the fall of the dew

For I would we were changed, my beloved, to white birds on the foam, I and you,

to white birds on the foam, I and you

Bend low, that I may crown you, flower of the branch

Silver fish my hands have taken from the running stream

Morning star, trembling in the heavens like a white fawn on the border of a wood

Bend that I may crown you, that I may crown you

And the flame of the blue star of twilight, hung low on the rim of the sky

Has awakened in our hearts, my beloved, a sadness that may never die,

a sadness that may never die

I am haunted by numberless islands, and many a Danaan shore

Where Time would surely forget us, and Sorrow come near us no more

Soon far from the rose and the lily and fret of the flames would we be

Were we only white birds, my beloved, white birds on the foam of the sea,

white birds on the foam of the sea
