1. Забыть ли старую любовь
И не грустить о ней?
Забыть ли старую любовь
И дружбу прежних дней?
Припев:
3. С тобой топтали мы вдвоем
Траву родных полей,
И не один крутой подъем
Мы взяли с юных дней.
Припев.
За дружбу старую –
4. Переплывали мы не раз
До дна!
С тобой через ручей.
За счастье прежних дней!
Но море разделило нас,
С тобой мы выпьем, старина,
Товарищ юных дней.
За счастье прежних дней.
Припев.
2. Побольше кружки приготовь
И доверху налей
Мы пьем за старую любовь,
За дружбу прежних дней.
Припев.
5. И вот с тобой сошлись мы вновь.
Твоя рука – в моей.
Я пью за старую любовь,
За дружбу прежних дней.
Припев.
2. Robert Shaftoe was an eighteenth-century British Member of Parliament
(MP), who was the subject of a famous North East English folk song.

4. ‘Cockles and Mussels’ (also known as “Molly Malone” or “In Dublin’s Fair
City”) is a popular song, set in Dublin (Ireland), which has become the unofficial anthem of Dublin City.
The song tells the fictional tale of a beautiful fishmonger who plied her trade
on the streets of Dublin, but who died young, of a fever. While many such “Molly”
Malones were born in Dublin over the centuries, no evidence connects any of them to
the events in the song.
Nevertheless, in 1988 the Molly Malone statue in Grafton Street was opened in
Dublin. And June 13 was proclaimed to be “Molly Malone day”.
COCKLES AND MUSSELS
Irish Song
1. In Dublin’s fair city, where the girls are so pretty,
I first set my eyes on sweet Molly Malone
As she wheel’d her wheel-barrow
Thro’ streets broad and narrow
83
Crying: “Cockles and Mussels!
Alive, alive, oh!”
CHORUS:
“Alive, alive, oh!
Alive, alive, oh!”
Crying: “Cockles and Mussels!
Alive, alive, oh!”
2. She was a fishmonger but sure ‘twas no wonder
For so were her father and mother before.
And they each wheeled their barrow
Thro’ streets broad and narrow.
Crying: “Cockles and Mussels!
Alive, alive, oh!”
CHORUS
3. She died of a fever
And no one could save her
And that was the end of sweet Molly Malone.
Her ghost wheels her barrow,
Crying: “Cockles and Mussels!
Alive, alive, oh!”
CHORUS
cockle – съедобный моллюск
Dublin – г. Дублин
mussel – двустворчатая раковина,
мидия
Molly Malone – Молли Мэлон
(женское имя)

the Morning”) is a traditional and popular Christmas carol from England.

In them then, in them then;
And what do you think was in them then;
On New Year’s Day in the morning.

In them then, in them then;
Three pretty girls were in them then,
On New Year’s Day in the morning.

The other could play on the violin;
Such joy there was at the wedding,
On New Year’s Day in the morning.

that became widely popular in the United States, Great Britain, and the Englishspeaking world. The song’s melody was composed by Englishman Sir Henry Bishop.
HOME, SWEET HOME
English Song
(Words by J. Howard Payne)
1. ‘Mid pleasures and palaces though I may roam
Be it ever so humble, there's no place like home.
A charm from the sky seems to hallow us there
Which, seek thro’ the world is ne'er met with elsewhere.
CHORUS:
Home, home, sweet, sweet home,
There’s no place like home,
There’s no place like home.
2. I gaze on the moon as I tread the drear wild,
And feel that my mother now thinks of her child,
As she looks on that moon from our own cottage door
Thro’ the woodbine, whose fragrance shall cheer me no more
CHORUS
3. How sweet ‘tis to sit ‘neath a fond father’s smile,
And the caress of a mother to soothe and beguile.
85
Let others delight mid new pleasures to roam,
But give me, oh, give me, the pleasures of home.
CHORUS
4. To thee I’ll return overburdened with care
The heart’s dearest face will smile on me there
No more from that cottage again will I roam
Be it ever so humble there’s no place like home.
7. ‘Land of My Fathers’ (‘Hen Wlad Fy Nhadau’) is the national anthem of
Wales. It is amongst the finest anthems of the world and a song steeped in history.
The words of the Welsh National Anthem were written by Evan James and the tune

Translations of the song.
LAND OF MY FATHERS

The home of the Felyn so soothing to me,
Thy noble defenders were gallant and brave,
For freedom their heart’s life they gave.
CHORUS:
Wales, Wales,
Sweet are thy hills and dales
Till death be pass’d my love shall last
My longing, my yearning for Wales.
2. Though Eden of bards and birthplace of song,
The sons of thy mountains are valiant and strong
The voice and they streamlets is soft to the ear,
Thy hills and thy valleys, how dear.
CHORUS
3. Tho’ slighted and scorned by the proud and the strong,
The language of Cambria still charms us in song;
The Awen survives, nor have envious tales
Yet silenced the harp of dear Wales.
CHORUS
Felyn = harp – арфа Eden – Эдем, рай
Cambria – поэтическое название Уэльса Awen = Muse – муза

Went to sea a month ago.
First he kissed me, then he left me –

On your lips red roses grow.
Will you take me for your lover,

I will make you rich and free,
I will give you silken dresses.

And that you scorn me so,
If I may not be your lover,
Madam will you let me go?
O, no John! No John! No John! No!
6. Then I will stay with you forever,
If you will not be unkind.
Madam, I have vowed to love you,
Would you have me change my mind?
O, no John! No John! No John! No!
7. O hark, I hear the church bells ringing,
Will you come and be my wife?
Or dear madam, have you settled,
To live single all your life?
O, no John! No John! No John! No!
Перевод С. Болотина и Т. Сикорской
1. Жила в селе красотка Мэй
Она была мне всех милей.
Но лишь хочу обнять ее,
Она в ответ твердит свое:
– Ах, нет. Джон, нет, Джон, нет,
Джон, нет!
2. – Ах, Джон, отец мой был моряк,
Всю жизнь проплавал он в морях.
Он мне оставил свой завет –
Всегда твердить мужчинам: нет.
– Ах, нет. Джон, нет, Джон, нет,
Джон, нет!
3. – Послушай, Мэй, любовь моя,
Тебе купил колечко я,
Но ты за это, мой дружок,
Хоть поцелуй меня разок.
– Ах, нет. Джон, нет, Джон, нет,
Джон, нет!
4. – Ну, если так, тогда прощай,
Тогда одна сиди, скучай.
Я пережить готов беду –
Без поцелуя прочь уйду.
– Ах, нет. Джон, нет, Джон, нет,
Джон, нет!

10. ‘There Was an Old Woman’ is an English folk song from a collection of
nursery rhymes which are often published as Mother Goose Rhymes. Mother Goose is an
imaginary author. Mother Goose is generally depicted in literature and book illustration as
an elderly country woman in a tall hat and shawl, but is sometimes depicted as a goose.
THERE WAS AN OLD WOMAN
English Folksong
1. There was an old woman as I've heard tell
She went to market her eggs for to sell,
She went to market all on a market day
And she fell asleep on the King’s highway.
2. There came by a pedlar whose name was Stout,
He cut her petticoats all round about
He cut her petticoats up to her knees,
Which made the old woman to shiver and freeze.
3. When this little old woman first did awake
She began to shiver and she began to shake
She began to wonder and she began to cry
"Lauk a mercy on me, this is none of I!”
4. “But if it be I, as I hope it be
I’ve a little dog at home, and he’ll know me
If it be I, he’ll wag his little tail
And if it be not I, he’ll loudly bark and wail.”
5. Home went the little woman all in the dark
Up got the little dog and he began to bark
He began to bark, so she began to cry,
“Lauk a mercy on me, this is none of I!”
her eggs for to sell = to sell eggs
Lauk a mercy on me = Lord have mercy on me – Боже милосердный!
this is none of I = this is not I
Перевод С. Я. Маршака
1. Старушка шла продавать молоко.
Деревня от рынка была далеко.
Устала старушка и, кончив дела,
У самой дороги вздремнуть прилегла.
2. К старушке веселый щенок подошел,
За юбку схватил и порвал ей подол.
Погода была в это время свежа.
Старушка проснулась, от страха дрожа.
89
3. Проснулась старушка и стала искать
Домашние туфли, свечу и кровать.
Но, порванной юбки ощупав края,
Сказала: «Ах, батюшки, это не я!
4. Пойду-ка домой. Если я это я,
Меня не укусит собака моя.
Она меня встретит, визжа, у ворот,
А если не я, – на куски разорвет».
5. В окно постучала старушка чуть свет,
Залаяла громко собака в ответ.
Старушка присела, сама не своя,
И тихо сказала: «Ну, значит, – не я!»
11. ‘There’s a Hole in My Bucket’ is a well-known humorous song. The song
in its best-known form is referenced in 1949.
The song is used an infinite-loop motif. To fix the leaky bucket, you need straw.
To cut straw, you need an axe. To sharpen the axe, you need a stone. To wet the
stone, you need water. However, when the song asks how to get the water, the answer
is “in a bucket”. It is a dialogue between the energetic wife named Liza, and the tired
husband Henry. The German-American versions have Henry as the stupid questioner,
and Lisa as the common-sense woman.
THERE’S A HOLE IN MY BUCKET
Popular Folk Song from Britain
Liza: Henry! Fetch me some water!
Henry:
1. There’s a hole in my bucket, dear Liza, dear Liza,
There’s a hole in my bucket, dear Liza, a hole.
Liza:
2. Then fix it, dear Henry, dear Henry, dear Henry,
Then fix it, dear Henry, dear Henry, fix it.
Henry:
3. With what shall I fix it, dear Liza, dear Liza?
With what shall I fix it, dear Liza, with what?
Liza:
4. With a straw, dear Henry, dear Henry, dear Henry,
With a straw, dear Henry, dear Henry, a straw.
Henry:
5. The straw is too long, dear Liza, dear Liza,
The straw is too long, dear Liza, too long.
Liza:
