Earle Steve - The Boy Who Never Cried

Текст

Long ago and far away
In a land no map can find
There lived in long forgotten days
A boy who never cried
He was his mother's only child
So she never wondered why
Until the news spread far and wide
Of a boy who never cried.

From fabled lands the pilgrims came
To behold the silent child
In ancient tones they sang his name
Over every lonely mile
There were those who came in reverence
There were those who stood outside
And whispered low in quatrains dim
Of a boy who never cried.

Days grew long and short until
The seasons turned to years
The child grew strong and fairer still
With a face unstained by tears
And every maid and lady fair
Held her breath when he passed by
For their mothers bid them all beware
Of a man who never cries.

He lived alone for all his years
And then on the day he died
He shed a single precious tear
For a boy who never cried.

Перевод

Давным-давно и далеко
В стране, которую невозможно найти на карте
В давно забытые дни жил
Мальчик, который никогда не плакал
Он был единственным ребенком у своей матери
Так что она никогда задавался вопросом, почему
Пока новости не распространились повсюду
О мальчике, который никогда не плакал.

Из легендарных земель приходили паломники
Чтобы увидеть молчаливого ребенка
Древними тонами они пели его имя
На каждой одинокой миле
Были те, кто приходил с почтением
Были те, кто стоял снаружи
И тихо шептал в смутных четверостишиях
О мальчике, который никогда не плакал.

Дни становились длинными и короткими, пока
Времена года превратились в годы
Девочка стала еще сильнее и прекраснее
С лицом, не запятнанным слезами
И каждая прекрасная дева и леди
Держала ее дыхание, когда он проходил мимо
Ибо их матери велели им всем остерегаться
Человека, который никогда не плачет.

Он жил один все свои годы
И затем в тот день, когда он умер
Он пролил одну драгоценную слезу
О мальчике, который никогда не плакал.
