Текст песни The Broadside Band - Lawn as white as driven snow

Lawn as white as driven snow
Cypress black as ere was crow,
Gloves as sweet as damask roses,
Masks for faces and for noses,
Bugle bracelets, necklace amber
Perfumes for a lady's chamber,
Golden coifes and stomachers
For my lads to give their dears.
Pins & potting sticks of steel
What maids lack from head to heal.
Come buy of me, come
Come buy, come buy
Buy lads or else your lasses cry come buy.

(Из "Зимней сказки" У. Шекспира)

Полотно - как снег бело,
Креп - как ворона крыло.
Шаль, перчатки мягче роз,
Маски на лицо и нос.
Гребешки, духи, стеклярус,
Для вязанья шерсть и гарус,
Пудру, щипчики для дам
Верным рыцарям отдам.
Ленты, шпильки, банты, бусы
На все платья, на все вкусы.
Эй, давай, давай, давай,
Приценяйся, не зевай,
Чтоб была девица рада,
Денег, денег, денег надо.
Не торгуйся, не глупи,
Эй, купи, купи, купи!

(пер. В. Левика)

Lawn As White AS Driven Snow
Cypress Black AS ERE WAS CROW,
Gloves AS Sweet As Damask Roses,
MASKS FOR FACES AND FOR NOSES,
BUGLE BRACELETS, NECKLACE AMBER
Perfumes for a lady's chamber
GOLDEN COIFES AND STOMACHERS
For My Lads to Give Their Dears.
Pins & Potting Sticks of Steel
What Maids Lack From Head to Heal.
Come BUY OF ME, COME
Come BUY, Come Buy
Buy Lads Or Else Your Lasses Cry Come Buy.

(From the "Winter Fairy Tale" W. Shakespeare)

The canvas - like snow white,
Crepe - like a crow wing.
Shawl, gloves softer roses,
Masks on face and nose.
Scallops, perfume, fiberglass,
For knitting wool and gar
Powder, tweezers for ladies
I will give faithful knights.
Ribbons, Studs, Bows, Beads
On all dresses, all tastes.
Hey, come on, come on, come on,
Check, do not yaw
So that the girl is glad,
Money, money, money is necessary.
Do not trade, not stupid,
Hey, buy, buy, buy!

(Per. V. Levik)
