Kishore Kumar Hits — Хелависа - Гимн деревьям lyrics

Artist: Хелависа

album: Леопард в городе

Of all the trees that grow so fair
Old England to adorn
Greater is none beneath the sun
Than Oak, and Ash, and Thorn
Sing Oak, and Ash, and Thorn, good sirs
(All of a Midsummer morn!)
Surely we sing of no little thing
In Oak, and Ash, and Thorn!
Oak of the Clay lived many a day
Or ever Aeneas began
Ash of the Loam was a Lady at home
When Brut was an outlaw man
Thorn of the Down saw New Troy Town
(From which was London born)
Witness hereby the ancientry
Of Oak, and Ash, and Thorn!
Yew that is old in churchyard-mould
He breedeth a mighty bow
Alder for shoes do wise men choose
And beech for cups also
But when ye have killed, and your bowl is spilled
And your shoes are clean outworn
Back ye must speed for all that ye need
To Oak, and Ash, and Thorn!
Ellum she hateth mankind, and waiteth
Till every gust be laid
To drop a limb on the head of him
That any way trusts her shade
But whether a lad be sober or sad
Or mellow with wine from the horn
He will take no wrong when he lieth along
'Neath Oak, and Ash, and Thorn!
Oh, do not tell the priest our plight
Or he would call it a sin
But--we have been out in the woods all night
A-conjuring Summer in!
And we bring you good news by word of mouth --
Good news for cattle and corn --
Now is the Sun come up from the south
With Oak, and Ash, and Thorn!
Sing Oak, and Ash, and Thorn, good sirs
(All of a Midsummer morn)!
England shall bide till Judgement Tide
By Oak, and Ash, and Thorn!
