Текст песни: When The Currawongs Come Down + перевод

When I was just a young man

I remember being told

By a weather beaten bushman

Grizzled grey & old

He was sitting on a bar stool

On a sale day in the town

Oh it’s time to get the rum out

When the Currawongs come down

When the Currawongs come down from the mountains

To the warmer valley country down below

When the Currawongs come down from the timber

It’s a sign of rough weather, rain or snow

Now through out the passing years

To often I have heard

Plain & simple Currawong

Refered to as great birds

Well I have studied nature closely

& one thing I have found

It’s time to don your oilskins

When the Currawongs come down

I know many indications

Learn’t from bushman I have met

Indications of the weather

Dry or cold or wet

Sometimes they are right you know

& sometimes wrong I’ve found

But there’s no two ways about it

When the Currawongs come down

When the Currawongs come down from the mountains

To the warmer valley country down below

When the Currawongs come down from the timber

It’s a sign of rough weather, rain or snow

Now I live here in the Snowy’s

With their howling winter winds

Were as soon as summers over

The winter time begins

& the artists love the beauty

Of frost upon the ground

Then it’s time for winter fires

When the Currawongs come down

When the Currawongs come down from the mountains

To the warmer valley country down below

When the Currawongs come down from the timber

It’s a sign of rough weather, rain or snow
