Текст песни Константин Плужников - Эльзасская баллада

There lived a king
He was old and poor
Of all the treasures I have kept
Only her daughter Gertrude

A noble knight lived with him
His name was Harold
Of all the beauties he loved
Only young Gertrude

But evil fate promised their love a different end
The Saracen killed him in battle for the holy cross
And from then on she waits for everything
That he will come to Gertrude

During the day or in the dark at night she waited for everything
And in suffering, the poor mind lost
And wait, she's waiting for everything
That he will come to Gertrude

There lived a king
He was old and poor
Of all the treasures I have kept
Only her daughter Gertrude

So the song was sung
In my country
