HURDY GURDY MAN
Paroles et musique de DONOVAN, 1968
- Thrown like a star in my vast sleep
I open my eyes to take a peep
To find that I was by the sea
Gazing with tranquillity.
'Twas then when the Hurdy Gurdy Man
Came singing songs of love,
Then when the Hurdy Gurdy Man
Came singing songs of love.
Hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, gurdy he sang.
Hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, gurdy he sang.
Hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, gurdy he sang.
Histories of ages past
Unenlightened shadows cast
Down through all eternity
The crying of humanity.
'Tis then when the Hurdy Gurdy Man
Comes singing songs of love,
Then when the Hurdy Gurdy Man
Comes singing songs of love.
Hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, gurdy he sang.
Hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy.
Hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, gurdy he sang.
Hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, gurdy he sang.
Here comes the roly poly man and he's singing songs of love,
Roly poly, roly poly, roly poly, poly he sang.
Hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, gurdy he sang,
Hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, gurdy he sang?
Paroles additives de Georges HARRISON:
- When the truth gets burried deep
beneath a thousand years of sleep
time demands I turn around
et a nouveau, the truth is found
Album loki and legolas
- Histoires du temps passé‚
des ombres sans lumières projettent
à travers l'immense éternité
les larmes de l'humanité - c'est alors que le joueur de vielle à roue
vient nous chanter des chansons d'amour
alors quand le joueur de vielle
vient chanter des chansons d'amour
il chante hurdy gurdy hurdy gurdy... - Quand la vérité est profondément enfouie
endormie sous le poids de milliers d'années
le temps exige un revirement
et à nouveau la vérité apparaît
