《The Stolen Bride》歌词

[00:00:00] The Stolen Bride - Angelo Branduardi

[00:00:18] Three long nights and sleep eludes me

[00:00:23] Wait and watch and listen

[00:00:27] But all I hear is the viper sliding

[00:00:31] And hissing along the river

[00:00:36] There I wrote this song I sing now

[00:00:41] Darkly dressed with sorrow

[00:00:45] About the bride who left her wedding

[00:00:49] Slipped out none saw none followed

[00:00:54] No one saw the extra guest

[00:00:58] Beguile her to the threshold

[00:01:02] With smiles and pretty

[00:01:04] Words about the beauty of her dress

[00:01:06] And persuade her from the feasting

[00:01:11] So naive she followed him

[00:01:16] She thought but for a moment

[00:01:20] We waited her return

[00:01:21] Till the candles burnt away

[00:01:24] We searched but none could find her

[00:01:28] A fiddler present at the wedding

[00:01:33] Was walking out next morning

[00:01:37] When the strange guest appeared before him

[00:01:41] Good day musician said he

[00:01:46] I know you search for one who's missing

[00:01:51] Vanished from her wedding

[00:01:54] If you have a brave heart walk behind me

[00:01:58] And I will lead you to her

[00:02:03] A boat as black as fishes bowels

[00:02:08] He rode 'cross shrowded waters

[00:02:11] Untill they came upon the waxen bride

[00:02:16] In a dress of gold and silver

[00:02:20] She bade the fiddler take her ring

[00:02:24] Back safe to her beloved

[00:02:28] And said here I remain

[00:02:31] And suffer not the world

[00:02:33] No pain desire or hatred

[00:02:46] The fiddler took the ring and turning

[00:02:51] Had hardly walked but one step

[00:02:55] When he heard a stiffled cry "Forgive me"

[00:02:59] As the misty waters took her

[00:03:04] Shining bright as summer light

[00:03:08] The morning that she married

[00:03:12] What unholy place was

[00:03:14] She taken to that day

[00:03:16] And by what cold of darkness

[00:03:21] Three long nights and sleep eludes me

[00:03:26] Wait and watch and listen

[00:03:29] But all I hear is the viper sliding

[00:03:34] And hissing along the river
