Текст песни Francesco Turrisi ft. Rhiannon Giddens - Black Swan

Текст:

BLACK SWAN (by Gian Carlo Menotti) Sun is falling and it lies in blood, Moon is weaving bandages of gold. Oh, black swan, where oh, where is my lover gone? Torn and tattered is my bridal gown And my lamp is lost And my lamp is lost. With silver needles and with silver thread The stars stitch a shroud for the dying sun. Oh, black swan, where oh, where is my lover gone? I had given him a kiss of fire And a golden ring And a golden ring. Don't you hear your lover moan, Eyes of glass and feet of stone, Shells for teeth and wings for tongue Deep deep down, Deep deep down, Deep deep down in the river's bed He's looking for the ring For the ring, for the ring, for the ring. Eyes wide open, never asleep, He's looking for the ring For the ring, for the ring, for the ring. The spools unravel and the needles break, The sun is buried and the stars weep. O black wave, o black wave, Take me away, take me away with you, I will share with you my golden hair And my bridal crown And my bridal crown. Oh, take me down with you Take me down to my wanderin' lover, To my wanderin' lover. With my child unborn With my child unborn With my child unborn.
