| The crystal house If King Neptunes wealth belonged to me, "Catch the bait" is all youd need to shout. My realms under and above the sea - Id not hesitate to bail them out. She would have a crystal house on a hill; Id be bound just like a chain-bred hound. Shed have silver that from my rivers spills, Gold that fills my rills and sacred ground! If I were poor as a lonely dog And my home had nothing there but need, I would call on you to help me, God - Dont allow my life to go to seed! She would have a crystal house on a hill; Id be bound just like a chain-bred hound. Shed have silver that from my rivers spills, Gold that fills my rills and sacred ground! Theres no woman quite like you for me. Execute me, shoot me, give me hell - See, I gaze on you adoringly Like on Madonna by Raphael. She would have a crystal house on a hill; Id be bound just like a chain-bred hound. Shed have silver that from my rivers spills, Gold that fills my rills and sacred ground! © Margaret & Stas Porokhnya. Translation, 2008 |
