Текст песни: Manitoba + перевод

Up in Manitoba

The sky was very blue

The people were a few

And nights were never colder

And when I heard a wailing sound

The sky had turned to red

So I got up from my bed

And I wandered far from town

I have seen the face of God

And I was not afraid

I have seen the face of God

And I have dearly paid

The darkness came I could not see

There were no more lights to follow

So I slept inside the hollow

Of a dead and fallen tree

I tell you how three days I tried

To wake myself? But, no

My flesh had turned to snow

And I thought that I had died

For I have seen the face of God

And I was not afraid

I have seen the face of God

And I have dearly paid

And though I had it rough

They got me home in time

And they gave me homemade wine

But it was not enough

The cold had made me dumb

And I was sent away

These walls are here today

For fifty years and some

Yes I have seen the face of God

And I was not afraid

I have seen the face of God

And I have dearly paid

Yes I have seen the face of God

And I was not afraid

I have seen the face of God

And I have dearly paid
