Текст песни: One Tin Soldier + перевод

it’s Luanne

I got a story

everybody

let me have your ears for a moment

listen carefully!

listen children to a story

that was written long ago

about a kingdom on a mountain

and the valley folk below

on the mountain was a treasure!

buried deep the stone

and the valley people swore

they’d have it for their very own

go ahead and, not yet, go ahead and hate your neighbor

go ahead and cheat a, friend

do it in the name of heaven

you can justify it in the end

there won’t be any trumpets blowing

come the judgement day

on bloody morning after… whoo

one tin soldier rides away

this is it

so the people of the valley

send a message, up the hill!

asking for the buried treasure

tons of gold, for which they kill

came an answer from the kingdom

«with our bothers, we will share»

«all the secrets of our mountain»

«all the riches buried there»

yeah! congratulations!

now the valley cried with anger

«mount your horses, draw your swords»

and they killed the mountain people

so, the won their just reward

now they stood beside the treasure

on the moutain dark and red

turn the stone and looks beneath it

«peace on earth» was all it said

go ahead and hate your neighbor

go ahead and cheat a friend

do it in the name of heaven

you can justify it in the end, just try

there won’t be any trumpets blowing

come the judgement day

on bloody morning after… whoo

one tin soldier rides away

go ahead and hate your neighbor

go ahead and cheat a, friend

please do it in the name of heaven

you can justify it in the end

there won’t be any trumpets blowing

don’t you love trumpets!

on bloody morning after… whoo

one tin soldier rides a, away

sha do ba do, ba do ba do

sha bah ba do dah

we can get along everbody!

if we just try… alright

i don’t know

peace on earth

to all good man and women and children and animals

and… um… birds and fish… and…even objets that aren’t breathing too

am i finished?

hank: well that was very nice Luanne,

you gotta love billy jack

he wasn’t looking for trouble

and now here’s what you really bought the album for

our theme song

and if it makes you hungry to watch the show

look at the tv guide

it’s on somewhere in america, sometime
