Текст песни: Port of Bilbao + перевод

it’s a long way down from edinburgh from the docks of portsmouth

town

it’s a long way down from edinburgh but further to where i’m bound

he put a fine ring on my finger so thin and he gave me his solemn

vow

and he said that he would be waiting for me in the beautiful port of

bilbao

there’s many a mighty fine ship to be found in the depths of the

bizkaia bay

with cannons and sailors that roared so loud as they sank their

watery way

still i’ll pray to the lord and I’ll

clamber aboard the first boat with a

wake to its bow

cos he said that he would be waiting for me in the beautiful port of

bilbao

he’s pretty, oh yes he be pretty for sure, he’s the bonniest boy that

i’ve seen

and oh how he danced me around and around in his jacket of jaunty

green

but there’s still no sign of his coat so fine as i stand on the deck

looking out

and he said that he would be waiting for me in the beautiful port of

bilbao

oh sister dear, oh sister far beyond the sea’s dark foam

take heed of them handsome young men and their money who’d acharm

you from your home

for if i’d not a curse on a gentleman’s purse i sure do now

every night after ten i’ll be

waiting for them in the beautiful port of

bilbao
