The girl goes dancing there
|
On the leaf-sown, new-mown, smooth
|
Grass plot of the garden
|
Escaped from her bitter youth
|
Escaped out of her crowd
|
Or out of her black cloud.
|
|
Ah, dancer, ah, sweet dancer
|
Ah, dancer, ah, sweet dancer.
|
|
If strange men come from the house
|
To lead her away, please, do not say
|
She's crazy
|
Lead them gently astray
|
Let her finish her dance
|
Finish her dance.
|
|
Ah, dancer, ah, sweet dancer
|
Ah, dancer, ah, sweet dancer.
|
|
She sings as the moon sings
|
I am I, I am I
|
The greater grows my light
|
The further shall I fly
|
I hear the wind a-blow
|
I hear the grass a-grow
|
And all that I know
|
I know, I know.
|
|
The girl goes dancing there
|
On the leaf-sown, new-mown, smooth grass of the garden
|
Let her finish the dance
|
Let her finish the dance
|
Finish the dance.
|
|
Ah, dancer, ah, sweet dancer
|
Ah, dancer, ah, sweet dancer.
|
|
Ah, dancer, ah, sweet dancer
|
Ah, dancer, ah, sweet dancer.
