„Black Is The Color”
1.
Black, black, black is the colour of my true love’s hair
His lips are something wond’rous fair
The purest eyes and the bravest hands
I love the grass whereon he stands
I love my love and well he knows
I love the ground whereon he goes
And if my love no more I see
My life would quickly fade away
Black, black, black is the colour of my true love’s hair
2. (versiune integrală)
Black, black, black
Is the color of my true love’s hair
His lips are like a rose so fair
And the prettiest face and the neatest hands.
I love the grass whereon he stands
He with the wondrous hair.
Black, black, black
Is the color of my true love’s hair
His face is something truly rare.
Oh I do love my love and so well he knows
I love the ground whereon he goes.
He with the wondrous hair.
Black, black, black
Is the color of my true love’s hair
Alone, my life would be so bare.
I would sigh, I would weep,
I would never fall asleep
My love is ‘way beyond compare
He with the wondrous hair.
Black, black, black
Is the color of my true love’s hair.
