Lyrics and translation The Weavers - Follow the Drinking Gourd

Follow the Drinking Gourd

Следуй за ковшом Большой Медведицы

For the old man is a-waiting for to carry

Ведь старик ждёт, чтобы переправить тебя,

Follow the drinking gourd/

Следуй за ковшом Большой Медведицы/

Now the river ends between two hills/

Там, где река течёт между двух холмов,

Follow the drinking gourd/

Следуй за ковшом Большой Медведицы/

There's another river on the other side/

Там другая река, на другом берегу,

Follow the drinking gourd/

Следуй за ковшом Большой Медведицы/

For the old man is a-waiting for to carry you to freedom/

Ведь старик ждёт, чтобы переправить тебя к свободе.
