Old tale about the girl
And the poor farmer boy
Their time together flamed
It couldn't last forever
They knows it well
So they took from the moment
Everything
So they took from the moment
Everything
Said father to the maid
"It's time to go
You'll marry my chosen one
He's rich enough and religious
He's the lord of all known"
"Who is the chosen one"
Asked girl with sad eyes
"He's a lord from the west
He is to you the man best"
But the girl was sad as a child
The girl carried the farmer's child
And father noticed that
"You'll die" he yelled
"You'll die as a whore
You belongs to the gallows
Then I'll bury you and your sins"
The boy heard that girl got hung
He took the sword
And cut her father's throat
Then he rode to the chasm
And fell down to his death
There he met his bride and son
"Who is that little one
Who you embrace?"
"He is your sweet son...
And come with us
We are now here together forever
Always here together forever..."
