The Butcher |
| [00:03.90] |
|
| [00:13.61] |
I came upon a butcher, |
| [00:18.45] |
he was slaughtering a lamb, |
| [00:26.43] |
I accused him there |
| [00:30.19] |
with his tortured lamb. |
| [00:36.21] |
He said, "Listen to me, child, |
| [00:43.62] |
I am what I am |
| [00:48.72] |
and you, you are my only son." |
| [00:56.37] |
|
| [01:01.53] |
Well, I found a silver needle, |
| [01:07.70] |
I put it into my arm. |
| [01:14.27] |
It did some good, |
| [01:19.80] |
did some harm. |
| [01:23.77] |
But the nights were cold |
| [01:27.62] |
and it almost kept me warm, |
| [01:35.68] |
how come the night is long? |
| [01:42.22] |
|
| [01:45.87] |
I saw some flowers growing up |
| [01:51.34] |
where that lamb fell down; |
| [01:56.35] |
was I supposed to praise my Lord, |
| [02:00.77] |
make some kind of joyful sound? |
| [02:06.92] |
He said, "Listen, listen to me now, |
| [02:11.79] |
I go round and round |
| [02:17.36] |
and you, you are my only child." |
| [02:26.00] |
|
| [02:29.98] |
Do not leave me now, |
| [02:35.11] |
do not leave me now, |
| [02:42.79] |
I'm broken down |
| [02:46.83] |
from a recent fall. |
| [02:52.30] |
Blood upon my body |
| [02:55.94] |
and ice upon my soul, |
| [03:02.66] |
lead on, my son, it is your world. |
