Ральф Воан-Уильямс (2) - The Vagabond - ноты, текст песни (слова)

Give to me the life I love, 
Let the lave go by me, 
Give the jolly heaven above, 
And the byway nigh me. 
Bed in the bush with stars to see, 
Bread I dip in the river - 
There's the life for a man like me, 
There's the life for ever. 

 Let the blow fall soon or late, 
Let what will be o'er me; 
Give the face of earth around, 
And the road before me. 
Wealth I seek not, hope nor love, 
Nor a friend to know me; 
All I seek, the heaven above, 
And the road below me. 

 Or let autumn fall on me 
Where afield I linger, 
Silencing the bird on tree, 
Biting the blue finger. 
White as meal the frosty field - 
Warm the fireside haven - 
Not to autumn will I yield, 
Not to winter even! 

 Let the blow fall soon or late, 
Let what will be o'er me; 
Give the face of earth around, 
And the road before me. 
Wealth I ask not, hope nor love, 
Nor a friend to know me; 
All I ask, the heaven above, 
And the road below me.  

 Lyrics: Robert Louis Stevenson - (1850-1894) - from "Songs of Travel".
