paroles de chanson Parting Song - Ye Banished Privateers

Hesperus heavenly sodality's parting
And the dead men lies shattered on the floor
Drunken Silenus, sleeps in the corner
Where he left you when he swept you with the oar

He knows all the words but to no gain
Solemnly mumbles,'tis be too short a blessing
And love, love be too long a pain

And I will leave you, I will leave you
I will leave you when that sunbeam hits the stream
I will leave you, I will leave you
I will leave you, cause this ain't no time to dream

There in the dead of night a scooner is departing
She has turned her back on all the world
She's tied down and tired, starving and beaten
But out there every sail shall be unfurled

One day I will take off my St Brennan
Untie him and I sink him in the sea
But now I must rise and I must travel
A homestead is not for you and me

And I will leave you, I will leave you
I will leave you when that sunbeam hits the stream
I will leave you, I will leave you
I will leave you, cause this ain't no time to dream

And down in Jericho, oh my sweet darling
A man fell down among the thieves
I'll bring him oil and wine, and thirteen stories
Soon, Hostis Humani Generis he will be

Indeed have I done all the things they have told you
Now a prison hulk lies anchored in the bay
I shall be dragged back in chains to Old England
Where I'll three times meet the tide at Wapping Quay

And I will leave you, I will leave you
I will leave you when that sunbeam hits the stream
I will leave you, I will leave you
I will leave you, cause this ain't no time to dream
