English Translation
Blackbird, Will You Go Blackbird, will you go To my dearest love? O find my dear one For I’m so deep in love. I cannot see anywhere Such a damsel in my sight As the maiden of fair colour She is a beauty bright. Her hair is yellow gold, Just like a ring of gold, And her skin like white snow- The truth it must be told |
