در برابر باد
و آزادی
این درفش پاره پاره از جور ستمگران
هنوز در اوج اهتزاز است
چون تندر و برق
در برابر باد...
Yet, Freedom
Yet thy banner, torn
but flying
Streams like the thunder-storm
Against the wind
Lord Byron
**************
If I were a minstrel I'd sing you six love songs
To tell the whole world of the love that we share
If I were a merchant I'd bring you six diamonds
With six blood red roses for my love to wear
But I am a simple man, a poor common farmer
So take my six ribbons to tie back your hair
Yellow and brown, blue as the sky
Red as my blood, green as your eyes
If I were a nobleman I'd bring you six carriages
With six snow white horses to take you anywhere
(If I were the emperor (yellow and brown
(I'd build you six palaces (blue as the sky
(With six hundred servants (red as my blood
(For comforting fare (green as your eyes
But I am a simple man, a poor common farmer
So take my six ribbons to tie back your hair
If I were a minstrel I'd sing you six love songs
To tell the whole world of the love that we share
So be not afraid my love, you're never alone love
While you wear my ribbons tying back your hair
Once I was a simple man, a poor common farmer
I gave you six ribbons to tie back your hair
Too-ra-lee, too-ra-lie, all I can share
Is only six ribbons, tying back your hair
(Too-ra-lee, too-ra-lie, all I can share)
I gave you six ribbons to tie back your hair
