[00:00:00] The Infanta (Live) - The Decemberists

[00:00:01] Written by：Colin Meloy

[00:00:54] Here she comes in her palanquin

[00:00:58] On the back

[00:01:00] Of an Elephant

[00:01:02] On a bed made of linen and sequins and silk

[00:01:09] All astride on her father's line

[00:01:13] With the king and his concubines

[00:01:17] And her nurse with her pitchers of liquors and milk

[00:01:24] And we'll all come praise the infanta

[00:01:31] And we'll all come praise the infanta

[00:01:43] Among five score pachyderm

[00:01:46] Each canopied and passengered

[00:01:50] Sit the duke

[00:01:52] And the duchess' luscious young girls

[00:01:58] Within sight of the baronness

[00:02:01] Seething spite for this live largesse

[00:02:05] By her side sits the baron

[00:02:08] Her barrenness barbs her

[00:02:13] And we'll all come praise the infanta

[00:02:20] And we'll all come praise the infanta

[00:02:57] A phalanx on camel back

[00:03:01] Thirty ranks on a forward track

[00:03:04] Followed close

[00:03:07] Their shiny bright standards a waving

[00:03:12] While behind in their coach in fours

[00:03:15] Ride the wives of the king of Moors

[00:03:19] And the veiled young virgin the prince's betrothed

[00:03:27] And we'll all come praise the infanta

[00:03:34] And we'll all come praise the infanta

[00:03:46] And as she sits upon her place

[00:03:54] Her innocence laid on her face

[00:03:59] From all atop the parapets blow a multitude of coronets

[00:04:05] Melodies rhapsodical and fair

[00:04:10] And all our hearts a fire

[00:04:12] The sky ablaze with cannon fire

[00:04:15] We all raise our voices to the air

[00:04:22] To the air

[00:04:30] And above all this falderal

[00:04:33] On a bed made of chaparral

[00:04:37] She is laid

[00:04:39] A coronal placed on her brow

[00:04:44] And the babe all in slumber dreams

[00:04:48] Of a place filled with quiet streams

[00:04:52] And the lake

[00:04:54] Where her cradle was pulled from the water

[00:05:00] And we'll all come praise the infanta

[00:05:07] And we'll all come praise the infanta

[00:05:15] And we'll all come praise the infanta
