From this valley they say you are going We will miss your bright eyes and sweet smile For they say you are taking the sunshine That has brightened our path for a while
Come and sit by my side if you love me Do not hasten to bid me adieu But remember the Red River Valley And the cowboy who loved you so true
Won't you think of the valley you're leaving Oh how lonely, how sad it will be? Oh think of the fond heart you're breaking And the grief you are causing to me
Come and sit by my side if you love me Do not hasten to bid me adieu But remember the Red River Valley And the cowboy who loved you so true
As you go to your home by the ocean May you never forget those sweet hours That we spent in the Red River Valley And the love we exchanged mid the flowers
Come and sit by my side if you love me Do not hasten to bid me adieu But remember the Red River Valley And the cowboy who loved you so true
I've been thinking a long time, my darling Of the sweet words you never would say Now, alas, must my fond hopes all vanish For they say you are gong away
Do you think of the valley you're leaving O how lonely and how dreary it will be And do you think of the kind hearts you're breaking And the pain you are causing to me
They will bury me where you have wandered Near the hills where the daffodils grow When you're gone from the Red River Valley For I can't live without you I know
Долина красной реки Старинная ковбойская песня Перевод Сергея Погорелого
Ты уедешь из нашей долины... Как прожить без улыбки твоей? Если шла ты тропинкою мимо Всем вокруг становилось светлей.
Припев: Подожди же еще, хоть немножко, Но, прощаясь, ты машешь рукой И тому, кто любил тебя, крошка, И долине над красной рекой.
Ты уедешь из нашей долины... Сколько слез здесь прольется тогда, Скольких нежных сердец половины Увезёшь ты с собой навсегда.
(Припев)
Ты уедешь из нашей долины... Но однажды, в ночной тишине Эта песенка там, на чужбине, Вдруг напомнит тебе обо мне.
