Перевод песни

Песня: Jack-In-The-Green
Have you seen Jack-In-The-Green?
With his long tail hanging down.
He sits quietly under every tree
in the folds of his velvet gown.
He drinks from the empty acorn cup
the dew that dawn sweetly bestows.
And taps his cane upon the ground
signals the snowdrops it's time to grow.

It's no fun being Jack-In-The-Green
no place to dance, no time for song.
He wears the colours of the summer soldier
carries the green flag all the winter long.

Jack, do you never sleep
does the green still run deep in your heart?
Or will these changing times, motorways, powerlines keep us apart?
Well, I don't think so
I saw some grass growing through the pavements today.

The rowan, the oak and the holly tree
are the charges left for you to groom.

Each blade of grass whispers Jack-In-The-Green.
Oh Jack, please help me through my winter's night.
And we are the berries on the holly tree.
Oh, the mistlethrush is coming.
Jack, put out the light.

Перевод песни:
Джек-В-Зелёном*

Ты видел Джека-В-Зелёном?
В длиннополой одежде до самой земли.
Он тихонько присядет под листья клёна,
Завернув в бархат мантии ноги свои.
В желудёвую чашу росинки налиты,
Что подарят любезно рассвета лучи.
И стучит в землю посох, не просто для вида –
Знак подснежникам дан, что им надо расти...... [открыть перевод]
