The Bold Knight
Down on the moor in a green old field,
There lies a knight slain under his shield,
His hounds they lie down at his feet,
So well they can their master keep.
The bold knight above,
If he see that angel with her love
The bold knight above,
If he could see that angel with her love.
Down on the moor a fallow girl
as great with young for all the world.
She lifted up his bloody head,
and kissed his wounds that were so red.
Chorus
She picked him up upon her back,
and carried him no hands attached.
She buried him before their prime,
Then she was dead herself at even time,
Chorus
El valiente caballero
En la llanura en un viejo campo verde,
Yace un caballero muerto bajo su escudo,
Sus perros se acuestan a sus pies,
Tan bien pueden cuidar a su amo.
El valiente caballero arriba,
Si viera a ese ángel con su amor,
El valiente caballero arriba,
Si pudiera ver a ese ángel con su amor.
En la llanura una chica embarazada,
Tan grande con su hijo para todo el mundo.
Levantó su cabeza ensangrentada,
Y besó sus heridas que estaban tan rojas.
Coro
Lo levantó sobre su espalda,
Y lo llevó sin manos atadas.
Lo enterró antes de su tiempo,
Luego ella misma estaba muerta al caer la noche,
