NIGHTWISH lyrics : "Once Upon A Troubadour"

[bonus track]

A lonely bard wandering across the lands am I

Singing dancing finding answers to every why
The taverns are full and one crosses my path, too
I just might reward myself with a beer or two


This inn the place of many romantic tales
On the loft women offer their sales

But my eyes they catch a girl beat by everyone
A slave she is but for me a rose undone


Hear me sing
Watch me dance
Play that lute of thine

And share with me this dance

As she danced my eyes began to shine

There she was the maiden so divine
How could I approach her with my outlook so poor
Her beauty being much more than I could endure


So I asked if I could sing a chanson
With a language of ancient and of lore

Gathered the men around us me and the girl in rags
Soon were the melodies heard by everyone


Hear us sing
Watch us dance
Sing with us this tale

With a clap of hands

The stories long-forgotten we still know

Performing our skills wherever we go
I end my story as I receive a kiss
From my girl the dearest Beatrice


Hear us sing
Watch us dance

Sing with us the tales
Which the music will keep alive
