Love On A Farmboy's Wages by XTC
Lyrics & Translation
English
High climbs the summer sun
High stands the corn
And tonight when my work is done
We will borrow your father's carriage
We will drink and prepare for marriage
Soon my darling, soon my darling
[Chorus:] Shilling for the fellow who brings the sheep in
Shilling for the fellow who milks the herd
Shilling for the fellow with a wife for keeping
How can we feed love on a farmboy's wages?
Deep under winter snow
Deep lay the lambs
And tonight by the full moon's glow
Flask of wine on my feather bedding
We will drink and prepare for wedding
Soon my darling, soon my darling
[Chorus]
People think that I'm no good
Painting pictures carving wood
be a rich man if I could
But the only job I do well is here on the farm
On the farm
And it's breaking my back
We will borrow your father's carriage
We will drink and prepare for marriage
Soon my darling, soon my darling
[Chorus]

High climbs the summer sun
High stands the corn
And tonight when my work is done
We will borrow your father's carriage
We will drink and prepare for marriage
Soon my darling, soon my darling

Love On A Farmboy's Wages (traducción LyricVerse Team)
Alto sube el sol de verano
Alto está el maíz
Y esta noche cuando mi trabajo esté hecho
Pediremos prestado el carruaje de tu padre
Beberemos y nos prepararemos para el matrimonio
Pronto mi querida, pronto mi querida
[Estribillo:] Un chelín para el que trae las ovejas
Un chelín para el que ordeña el rebaño
Un chelín para el que tiene una esposa que mantener
¿Cómo podemos alimentar el amor con el salario de un mozo de granja?
Profundo bajo la nieve invernal
Profundos yacen los corderos
Y esta noche bajo el resplandor de la luna llena
Frasco de vino en mi lecho de plumas
Beberemos y nos prepararemos para la boda
Pronto mi querida, pronto mi querida
[Estribillo]
La gente piensa que no sirvo para nada
Pintando cuadros, tallando madera
Sería un hombre rico si pudiera
Pero el único trabajo que hago bien es aquí en la granja
En la granja
Y me está rompiendo la espalda
Pediremos prestado el carruaje de tu padre
Beberemos y nos prepararemos para el matrimonio
Pronto mi querida, pronto mi querida
[Estribillo]
