Текст песни: The Gypsy + перевод

Step inside my tent, said she, I’d like to read you palm

Leave your dollar in the jar, this won’t take very long

Leave the circus noise behind, close your eyes, relax your mind

I’ll tell you if you should leave or if you should go on

Then I said, now what do ya see

She said, deedlee-dum, deedlee-dee

Give me a sign, tell it to me

She said, deedlee-dum, deedlee-dee

She threw some sawdust in the air and her hands began to shake

She told me the town where I was born, she almost knew the date

She lit a candle with her eyes and then she made the table rise

She took the dollar from the jar and then she guessed my weight

Then I said, now what do ya see

She said, deedlee-dum, deedlee-dee

Give me a sign, tell it to me

She said, deedlee-dum, deedlee-dee

You are so old, you are so wise

She said, deedlee-dum, deedlee-dy

Then she spoke most quietly

She said, deedlee-dum, deedlee-dee

When you were a child in school they taught you quite a lot

They taught you when you should speak and when you should not

They taught how to read and write, to take your lessons home at night

A little knowledge serves you well but the golden rule does not

Then I said, now what do ya mean

She said, deedlee-dum, deedlee-dee

Give me a sign, tell it to me

She said, deedlee-dum, deedlee-dee

And now when I go home at night to lie awake in bed

I think of that old gypsy and the words that she had said

And now I see with due respect, the more we learn the worse we get

So if you think you’ve no regrets, go have your fortune read

And I said, now what do ya see

She said, deedlee-dum, deedlee-dee
