Lady In Black
KEN HENSLEY
She came to me one morning
One lonely Sunday morning
Her long hair flowing in the mid-winter wind
I know not how she found me
For in darkness I was walking
And destruction lay around me
From a fight I could not win
Ah, ah, ah
She asked me name my foe then
I said the need within some men
To fight and kill their brothers without thought of men or God
And I begged her give me horses
To trample down my enemies
So eager was my passion to devour this waste of life
Ah, ah, ah
But she would not think of battle that
Reduces men to animals
So easy to begin and yet impossible to end
For she the mother of all men
Had counciled me so wisely that
I feared to walk alone again
And asked if she would stay
Ah, ah, ah
Oh, lady, lend your hand, I cried
Oh, let me rest here at your side
Have faith and trust in me, she said and filled my heart with life
There is no strength in numbers
I've no such misconceptions
But when you need me be assured I won't be far away
Ah, ah, ah
Thus having spoke she turned away
And though I found no words to say
I stood and watched until I saw her black cloak disappear
My labor is no easier
But now I know I'm not alone
I find new heart each time I think upon that windy day
And if one day she comes to you
Drink deeply from her words so wise
Take courage from her as your prize and say hello for me
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
She came to me one morning
Lei venne da me una mattina
One lonely Sunday morning
Una solitaria domenica mattina
Her long hair flowing in the mid-winter wind
I suoi lunghi capelli fluttuavano nel vento di mezzo inverno
I know not how she found me
Non so come mi abbia trovato
For in darkness I was walking
Perché stavo camminando nel buio
And destruction lay around me
E la distruzione era intorno a me
From a fight I could not win
Da una lotta che non potevo vincere
Ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah
She asked me name my foe then
Mi chiese di nominare il mio nemico
I said the need within some men
Dissi il bisogno dentro alcuni uomini
To fight and kill their brothers without thought of men or God
Di combattere e uccidere i loro fratelli senza pensare agli uomini o a Dio
And I begged her give me horses
E la pregai di darmi cavalli
To trample down my enemies
Per calpestare i miei nemici
So eager was my passion to devour this waste of life
Così grande era la mia passione per divorare questo spreco di vita
Ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah
But she would not think of battle that
Ma lei non pensava alla battaglia che
Reduces men to animals
Riduce gli uomini ad animali
So easy to begin and yet impossible to end
Così facile da iniziare eppure impossibile da finire
For she the mother of all men
Perché lei, la madre di tutti gli uomini
Had counciled me so wisely that
Mi aveva consigliato così saggiamente che
I feared to walk alone again
Temevo di camminare di nuovo da solo
And asked if she would stay
E le chiesi se sarebbe rimasta
Ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah
Oh, lady, lend your hand, I cried
Oh, signora, presta la tua mano, ho gridato
Oh, let me rest here at your side
Oh, lasciami riposare qui al tuo fianco
Have faith and trust in me, she said and filled my heart with life
Abbi fede e fiducia in me, disse e riempì il mio cuore di vita
There is no strength in numbers
Non c'è forza nei numeri
I've no such misconceptions
Non ho tali misconcezioni
But when you need me be assured I won't be far away
Ma quando avrai bisogno di me, sii sicuro che non sarò lontano
Ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah
Thus having spoke she turned away
Così dicendo si voltò e se ne andò
And though I found no words to say
E anche se non trovai parole da dire
I stood and watched until I saw her black cloak disappear
Rimasi a guardare finché non vidi il suo mantello nero scomparire
My labor is no easier
Il mio lavoro non è più facile
But now I know I'm not alone
Ma ora so che non sono solo
I find new heart each time I think upon that windy day
Trovo nuovo coraggio ogni volta che penso a quel giorno ventoso
And if one day she comes to you
E se un giorno viene da te
Drink deeply from her words so wise
Bevi a fondo dalle sue parole così sagge
Take courage from her as your prize and say hello for me
Prendi coraggio da lei come tuo premio e salutala per me
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
