Such Hawks, Such Hounds (original)

As Dawn’s first rays cross the green field
They shine in open eyes lying still
From the boughs of the oak tree
Three ravens wait
Over his cold bones lying as they are
The wind will moan forevermore
They’ll perch on his backbone
Beneath the morning sun
Peck out his eyes one by one
His hounds they lie at his feet
So well they will their master keep
His hawks they circle the air
All through the day
No raven would dare come near
All through the day
She sits quiet and still by his side
Gently closes her lover’s eyes
She buried him before his prime
Was dead herself before even song time
God grant each man his rightful share
Such hawks, such hounds, such ladies fair

(traducción)

Mientras los primeros rayos del amanecer cruzan el campo verde
Brillan en los ojos abiertos que yacen quietos
De las ramas del roble
Tres cuervos esperan
Sobre sus huesos fríos yaciendo como están
El viento gemirá para siempre
Se posan en su columna vertebral
Debajo del sol de la mañana
Sacarle los ojos uno a uno
Sus sabuesos yacen a sus pies
Tan bien guardarán su amo
Sus halcones dan vueltas en el aire
Durante todo el día
Ningún cuervo se atrevería a acercarse
Durante todo el día
Ella se sienta tranquila y quieta a su lado.
Cierra suavemente los ojos de su amante.
Ella lo enterró antes de su mejor momento
Ella misma estaba muerta incluso antes de la hora de la canción
Dios conceda a cada hombre la parte que le corresponde
Tales halcones, tales sabuesos, tales bellas damas
