Oh oh ay ay Billy Budd
Oh oh ay ay Billy Budd oh oh ay!
Ecco il cappellano
E' entrato nella cella
In ginocchia sulle ossa
piegato qui a pregare
Per quelli come me
Billy Budd
Oh oh ay ay Billy Budd
Oh oh ay ay Billy Budd..
Mentre dall'oblò
Entra un po' di luna
Riflessa su una sciabola d'argento
Arriva fino a dentro
Ma morirà anche lei all'alba
dell'ultimo giorno di Billy Budd
Oh oh ay ay Billy Budd
Oh oh ay ay Billy Budd
Domani
faranno di me un gioiello
Una perla appesa in punta di pennone
Come quegli orecchini che un giorno
regalai a Molly..
Molly Budd!
Oh oh ay ay Molly budd
Ai ai, sospenderanno me, non la mia sentenza
Appenderanno me al capriccio della lenza
Ai ai tutto è pronto
Anch'io devo esser pronto
a salire fin lassù, di quaggiù
a salire fin lassù, di quaggiù
Ma non è tutta una finta
non è che sto sognando?
un taglio alla mia gomena?
Andare alla deriva?
Il tamburo chiama per il grog, ma Billy non lo sà
Il tamburo chiama per il grog, ma Billy non lo sà
Ay ay Billy Budd oo ay Billy Budd oh oh Ay !
Ma Donald mi ha promesso
Di starmi accanto all'asse
Stringerò una mano
prima di andare a fondo
Ma che sto dicendo
Allora sarò morto, ora che ci penso
Ricordo Taff di Galles,quando sprofondò
La guancia come un garofano in bocciolo
Ma a me mi legheranno ai piombi dell'amaca
Mi metteranno giù giù in fondo
Come sognerò dormendo
Sento che sta arrivando il sonno
Sento che sta arrivando il sonno
Sentinella sei lì fuori?
allenta le manette perfavore
E girami sul fianco
Sii gentile ho sonno
Le viscide alghe mi si attorcigliano già attorno
Sii gentile ho sonno
Le viscide alghe mi si attorcigliano già attorno
Sii gentile ho sonno
Oh oh ay ay Billy Budd ooh oh oh ayay
Oh oh ay ay Billy Budd ooh oh oh ayay
