Soldier of Fortune

I have often told you stories
About the way
I lived the life of a drifter
Waiting for the day
When I'd take your hand
And sing you songs
Then maybe you would say
Come lay with me love me
And I would surely stay

But I feel I'm growing older
And the songs that I have sung
Echo in the distance
Like the sound
Of a windmill goin' 'round
I guess I'll always be
A soldier of fortune

Many times I've been a traveller
I looked for something new
In days of old
When nights were cold
I wandered without you
But those days I thougt my eyes
Had seen you standing near
Though blindness is confusing
It shows that you're not here

Now I feel I'm growing older
And the songs that I have sung
Echo in the distance
Like the sound
Of a windmill goin' 'round
I guess I'll always be
A soldier of fortune
Yes, I can hear the sound
Of a windmill goin' 'round
I guess I'll always be
A soldier of fortune

Солдат удачи

Я дороги тайн немало
Тебе открыл;
Час свой ожидая,
Я бродягой жил -
Чтобы спеть тебе, за руку взяв,
А ты ответишь мне:
"Будь со мной, мой милый!",
И стать твоим навек.

Но старею я, я знаю
И те песни, что я пел,
Эхом в отдаленьи,
Словно звук
Ветряка звучат вокруг...
Так и буду я
Солдатом удачи.

Впечатлений новых я искал,
Объехал я весь свет;
Скитался сквозь ночей мороз
Один на склоне лет
Мне виделось в те дни -
Со мною рядом ты,
Но здесь не ты, я вижу -
Мираж своей мечты...

Но старею я, я знаю
И те песни, что я пел,
Эхом в отдаленьи,
Словно звук
Ветряка звучат вокруг...
Так и буду я
Солдатом удачи.
Слышу я, как звук
Ветряка звучит вокруг -
Буду я всегда
Солдатом удачи.

Soldier of fortune

I road a lot of secrets
You opened;
Hour your waiting
I lived a hobo -
To sing to you, hand picking,
And you will answer to me:
"Stay with me, my darling!",
And be yours forever.

But I'm getting old, I know
And the songs that I sang,
Echo in the distance,
Like the sound
Wind turbine sound around...
And I
A soldier of fortune.

Impressions new I was looking for
I traveled all the light;
Wandering through the nights frost
One in his declining years
I saw in those days -
With me beside you,
But you're not here, I see
The Mirage of your dreams...

But I'm getting old, I know
And the songs that I sang,
Echo in the distance,
Like the sound
Wind turbine sound around...
And I
A soldier of fortune.
I hear as sound
Windmill sounds around -
I always
A soldier of fortune.
