[00:00:00] A Wand'ring Minstrel I (from "The Mikado") - The King's Singers (国王歌手合唱团)

[00:00:00] Written by：William Schwenck Gilbert/Sir Arthur Sullivan

[00:00:03] A wandering minstrel I —

[00:00:08] A thing of shreds and patches

[00:00:13] Of ballads songs and snatches

[00:00:17] And dreamy lullaby

[00:00:22] My catalogue is long

[00:00:25] Through every passion ranging

[00:00:29] And to your humours changing

[00:00:33] I tune my supple song

[00:00:40] I tune my supple song

[00:00:54] Are you in sentimental mood

[00:00:58] I'll sigh with you

[00:01:02] Oh sorrow sorrow

[00:01:11] On maiden's coldness do you brood

[00:01:15] I'll do so too —

[00:01:20] Oh sorrow sorrow

[00:01:30] I'll charm your willing ears

[00:01:33] With songs of lovers' fears

[00:01:38] While sympathetic tears

[00:01:42] My cheeks bedew —

[00:01:47] Oh sorrow sorrow

[00:01:59] But if patriotic sentiment is wanted

[00:02:03] I've patriotic ballads cut and dried;

[00:02:06] For where'er our country's banner may be planted

[00:02:10] All other local banners are defied

[00:02:13] Our warriors in serried ranks assembled

[00:02:17] Never quail — or they conceal it if they do —

[00:02:21] And I shouldn't be surprised if nations trembled

[00:02:24] Before the mighty troops of Titipu

[00:02:27] We shouldn't be surprised if nations trembled

[00:02:30] Trembled with alarm

[00:02:31] Before the mighty troops

[00:02:32] The troops of Titipu

[00:02:38] And if you call for a song of the sea

[00:02:41] We'll heave the capstan round

[00:02:42] With a yeo heave ho for the wind is free

[00:02:45] Her anchor's a-trip and her helm's a-lee

[00:02:47] Hurrah for the homeward bound

[00:02:49] Yeo-ho — heave ho —

[00:02:51] Hurrah for the homeward bound

[00:02:54] To lay aloft in a howling breeze

[00:02:56] May tickle a landsman's taste

[00:03:01] But the happiest hour a sailor sees

[00:03:04] Is when he's down

[00:03:05] At an inland town

[00:03:06] With his Nancy on his knees yeo ho

[00:03:11] And his arm around her waist

[00:03:13] Then man the capstan — off we go

[00:03:15] As the fiddler swings us round

[00:03:17] With a yeo heave ho

[00:03:19] And a rum below

[00:03:20] Hurrah for the homeward bound

[00:03:22] With a yeo heave ho

[00:03:24] And a rum below

[00:03:26] Yeo-ho heave ho

[00:03:29] Yeo-ho heave ho

[00:03:30] Heave ho heave ho yeo-ho

[00:03:36] A wandering minstrel I —

[00:03:41] A thing of shreds and patches

[00:03:46] Of ballads songs and snatches

[00:03:50] And dreamy lullaby

[00:03:58] And dreamy lulla-lullaby

[00:04:10] Lullaby
