Текст песни: Streets of Edinburgh + перевод

Along these broken pavements

I let my mind run free

The past and the present

Seem just the same to me

The people I have loved most

Among these stones did dwell

And in the cleanest language

The stories they did tell

They pass, they pass, they pass, they pass

The streets of Edinburgh

Hold half the world for me

In scores, in droves, the living and the ghosts

The streets of Edinburgh

Mean most to me

Depending on your view point

This place is blessed or cursed

And in the years I’ve lived here

I’ve seen the best and worst

An air of sordid passion

A look of dirty grace

But not right in your face

It’s not that kind of place

They pass, they pass, they pass, they pass

The streets of Edinburgh

Hold half the world for me

In scores, in droves, the living and the ghosts

The streets of Edinburgh

Mean most to me

Down greasy potholed roadways

I watch the traffic crawl

But for the cars and buses

I give no thought at all

I think about the future

I wonder at her health

How with this human wealth

She does renew herself

They pass, they pass, they pass, they pass

The streets of Edinburgh

Hold half the world for me

In scores, in droves, the living and the ghosts

The streets of Edinburgh

Mean most to me
