Текст песни: River of Gold + перевод

There was nothing back here in the old days

Nothing but a river of gold

There was nothing blocking out the sky

Nothing to be bought or sold

There were lakes of rainbows and cutthroats

You could walk for miles in the snow

Didn’t know a thing about the climate

Watched the seasons come and go

There was always the sound of the night wind

Blowing through the old pine trees

The melody of birds in the willows

Flying so high and free

The silver moon on the lake at midnight

Looking back at me from the sky

And the walks we took in the summer

Till the light of the sun would die

I always dreamed of making us a home here

Now they’ve gone and done their very best

Cleared out the trees and the Queen Anne’s lace

And the birds with their feathered nests

They’ve taken all the magic from the meadows

They plowed them up and threw away the green

Rough rock and stone and clear cut

Now they’ve gone ahead and dammed the stream

Forever I will think of the old days

The river that was made of gold

In winter and spring and summer

My memories will never grow old

I always dreamed of making us a home here

Now they’ve gone and done their very best

Cleared out the trees and the Queen Anne’s lace

And the birds with their feathered nests

I always dreamed of making us a home here

Now they’ve gone and done their very best

Cleared out the trees and the Queen Anne’s lace

And the birds with their feathered nests

There was nothing back here in the old days

Nothing but a river of gold

Nothing out here in the old days

Nothing but a river of gold
