Текст песни Король и Шут TODD. Акт 1. Праздник крови - Баллада о бедном цирюльнике

Horror stories you will not find
And no ballads sadder in the world,
What is this about a poor barber Todd
And his young beautiful wife Betty.
About a young beautiful beauty Betty!

With baby daughter Betty and beautiful
He lived in the house cozy Barber happily,
But since returning home after punishment
Belle met lustful judge.
Belle met Judge lustful!

Calculation of the judge has been ruthlessly precise:
He concocted a deal on a false denunciation
And now separated from his wife and daughter
There was a poor barber exiled to Siberia.
There was a poor barber exiled to hard labor!

Git judge solicited to Betty,
While her husband was put in iron,
And she threw herself into the river at dawn
And young body floated on the Thames.
And young body floated on the Thames!

Sad stories you will not find
Neither the Times nor the other daily,
What about this poor Todd Barber,
About his young beautiful wife Betty.
About a young beautiful wife of his!
