Bob Dylan "Lily Of The West" Слова пісні

Lily Of The West

When first I came to Louisville, some pleasure there to findA damsel there from Lexington was pleasing to my mindHer rosy cheeks, her ruby lips, like arrows pierced my breastAnd the name she bore was Flora, the lily of the west.

I courted lovely Flora some pleasure for to findBut she turned unto another man whose sore distressed my mindShe robbed me of my liberty, deprived me of my restThen go, my lovely Flora, the lily of the west.

Away down in yonder shady grove, a man of high degreeConversin' with my Flora there, it seemed so strange to meAnd the answer that she gave to him it sore did me oppressI was betrayed by Flora, the lily of the west.

I stepped up my rival, dagger in my handI seized him by the collar, and bodly made him standSeing mad by desperation I pierced him to the breastAll this for lovely Flora, the lily of the west.

I had to stand my trial, I had to make my pleaThey placed me in the witness box and then commenced on meAlthough she swore my life away, deprived me of my restStill I love my faithless Flora, the Lily of the west.

Ljiljan sa Zapada

Kad sam prvi put došao u Louisville, da užitak tamo nađemDjeva iz tamo Lexingtona prijala je umu mojem.Njeni rumeni obrazi, usne boje rubina, kao strijele probile grudi moje.I ime joj bijaše Flora, ljiljan sa Zapada.

Ja udvarao sam lijepoj Flori da užitak s njom nađemAl otišla ona drugome čija bol je nemir u umu mojem

Otela mi je slobodu, oduzela mirTada idi, lijepa Floro, ljiljane sa Zapada.

Tamo dolje u sjenovitom šumarku, čovjek visokog kalibrasa mojom Florom razgovara, učini mi se tako čudnimI odgovor koji mu je dala nanio mi bol koja tištiIzdan sam od moje Flore, ljiljana sa Zapada.

Priđoh svom suparniku, bodež mi u ruciTrgoh ga za kragnu i smjelo ga postavio na nogeLud od očaja ja probio sam mu grudiSve to za lijepu Floru, ljiljana sa Zapada.

Morao sam da izdržim svoj sud, morao sam da se izjasnimStavili me u klupu za svjedoke i započeli svoj rad.

Iako je proklela moj život, otela moj mirJoš uvijek ljubim nevjernu Floru, ljiljana sa Zapada.
