Текст песни Клара Румянова - Крошка Джон

Hello to you, King’s Prison
Where life is dragged by slaves!
A loop awaits me today
And smooth pillars.

So much fun
Frantically
He walked to the gallows.
In the last hour
To the last dance
Baby John started ....

Sorry, my land! The whole world, goodbye!
I was caught on the net.
But the one who is waiting for death is miserable
Not daring to die!

So much fun
Frantically
He walked to the gallows.
In the last hour
To the last dance
Baby John started ....

Break the steel of my fetters
Bring back my armor.
Let ten daredevils come out
I will overcome everyone.

So much fun
Frantically
He walked to the gallows.
In the last hour
To the last dance
Baby John started up.

So much fun
Frantically
He walked to the gallows.
In the last hour
To the last dance
Baby John started ....

The song itself is a modified translation of Robert Burns' ballad, "MacPherson Before Execution," the full text below:

MAKPHERSON BEFORE EXECUTION

   So much fun
   Frantically
   He walked to the gallows,
   In the last hour
   To the last dance
   Macpherson set off.

Hello to you, King’s Prison
Where life is dragged by slaves!
A loop awaits me today
And smooth pillars.

In the fields of war among swords
I met death more than once,
But I didn’t tremble before her -
I will not flinch now!

Break the steel of my fetters
Bring back my armor.
Let ten daredevils come out
I will overcome everyone.

I spent my life in battle
I will not die by the sword.
The traitor betrayed my life
Hangman’s rope.

And before death about one
My soul is sad
What for me in my native land
No one will take revenge.

Sorry, my land! The whole world, goodbye!
I was caught on the net.
But the one who is waiting for death is miserable
Not daring to die!

   So much fun
   Frantically
   He walked to the gallows.
   In the last hour
   To the last dance
   Macpherson set off.
