Текст песни: Death & Burial Of C.R. + перевод

Who killed cock robin?

I, said the sparrow, with my bow and arrow

I killed cock robin

Who saw him die?

I, said the fly, with my little eye

I saw him die

Who caught his blood?

I, said the fish, with my little dish

I caught his blood

Who’ll make the shroud?

I, said the beetle, with my thread and needle

I’ll make the shroud

Who’ll dig his grave?

I, said the owl

Who’ll be the parson?

I, said the rook, with my little book

I’ll be the parson

Who’ll be the clerk?

I, said the lark, if it’s not in the dark

I’ll be the clerk

Who’ll carry the link?

I, said the linnet, I’ll fetch it in a minute

I’ll carry the link

Who’ll be chief mourner?

I, said the dove, I mourn for my love

I’ll be chief mourner

Who’ll carry the coffin?

I, said the kite

If it’s not through the night

I’ll carry the coffin

Who’ll bear the pall?

I, said the wren

Both the cock and the hen

We’ll bear the pall

Who’ll sing a psalm?

I, said the thrush

As she sat on a bush

I’ll sing a psalm

Who’ll toll the bell?

I said the bull

Because I can pull

I’ll toll the bell

All the birds of the air

Fell a-sighing and a-sobbing

When they heard the bell toll

For poor cock robin
