Original text and translations
English text
- Give to me the life I love,
- Let the lave go by me,
- Give the jolly heaven above,
- And the byway nigh me.
- Bed in the bush with stars to see,
- Bread I dip in the river -
- There’s the life for a man like me,
- There’s the life for ever.
- Let the blow fall soon or late,
- Let what will be o’er me;
- Give the face of earth around,
- And the road before me.
- Wealth I seek not, hope nor love,
- Nor a friend to know me;
- All I seek, the heaven above,
- And the road below me.
- Or let autumn fall on me
- Where afield I linger,
- Silencing the bird on tree,
- Biting the blue finger.
- White as meal the frosty field -
- Warm the fireside haven -
- Not to autumn will I yield,
- Not to winter even!
- Let the blow fall soon or late,
- Let what will be o’er me;
- Give the face of earth around,
- And the road before me.
- Wealth I ask not, hope nor love,
- Nor a friend to know me;
- All I ask, the heaven above,
- And the road below me.
- Lyrics: Robert Lewis Stevenson - (1850-1894) - from "Songs of Travel".
