GreenWood - W zielonym lesie

Tłumaczenie:

One last time the bandit looked down proudly from the gallows
And snarled: "Master headsman, do what you must, and fast if you would
But before the blow is struck, before my wretched fate comes to it's end,
I'll tell you all something out loud, so you will all know my creed.

Don't go out without a hat in winter, wine is bad for your liver,
Don't dance at the inn, don't hit others in the mug, take a wife and have a son,
Wash yourself each morning, pay off your debts, work like a dog, be back home at night,
Love your fellows and so on, and best of all don't live at all.

And after some years, maybe a hundread, you will sum up your life's hardships,
Looking back you'll see nothing but a sea of grayness.
Your every day like a copy, shadow of the previous day, a boring dream,
Without any colors you have slept through the world,

So while our hearts are still beating, may the green woods rustle for us.
Have green thoughts in your head, dreams full of song.
Live the way you want to live, tie a string to your soul's rythm
And bravely go forward, he is his own master"

So he finished, lowered his young face and eyes in which the light of stars
shined one last time before the headsman extinguished them with his sword,
And all the people going home weep after the execution
In honor of the bandit, quietly sang those words:

"So while our hearts are still beating, may the green woods rustle for us.
Have green thoughts in your head, dreams full of song.
Live the way you want to live, tie a string to your soul's rythm
And bravely go forward, he is his own master"
