Once Upon A Troubadour

Текст песни Nightwish - Once Upon A Troubadour <br/> A lonely bard wandering across the lands am I<br />Singing dancing finding answers to every why<br />The taverns are full and one crosses my path, too<br />I just might reward myself with a beer or two<br /><br />This inn the place of many romantic tales<br />On the loft women offer their sales<br />But my eyes they catch a girl beat by everyone<br />( )<br />A slave she is but for me a rose undone<br /><br />Hear me sing<br />Watch me dance<br />Play that lute of thine<br />And share with me this dance<br /><br />As she danced my eyes began to shine<br />There she was the maiden so divine<br />How could I approach her with my outlook so poor<br />Her beauty being much more than I could endure<br /><br />So I asked if I could sing a chanson<br />With a language of ancient and of lore<br />Gathered the men around us me and the girl in rags<br />Soon were the melodies heard by everyone<br /><br />Hear us sing<br />Watch us dance<br />Sing with us this tale<br />With a clap of hands<br /><br />The stories long-forgotten we still know<br />Performing our skills wherever we go<br />I end my story as I receive a kiss<br />From my girl the dearest Beatrice<br /><br />Hear us sing<br />Watch us dance<br />Sing with us the tales<br />Which the music will keep alive
