Bonaparte's Retreat

David Eric Swarbrick, Dp

Lyrics Translation

Met the girl I love in a town way down in Dixie
Beneath the stars up above
She was the sweetest girl I ever did see

So I held her in my arms and told her of her many charms, I
Kissed her while the guitars played
The Bonaparte's Retreat
Guitar

All the world was bright as I held her on that night
And I heard her say
Please don't you go away

So I held her in my arms and told her of her many charms, I
Kissed her while the bagpipe played
The Bonaparte's Retreat
Bagpipe

Well I met the girl I I love in a town way down in Dixie
Beneath the stars up above
She was the sweetest girl I ever did see

So I held her in my arms and told her of her many charms, I
Kissed her while the fiddles played
The Bonaparte's Retreat
Fiddle

All the world was bright as I held her on that night
And I heard her say
Please don't you go away

So I held her in my arms and told her of her many charms, I
Kissed her while everybody played
The Bonaparte's Retreat
Everybody

Yes I held her in my arms and told her of her many charms, I
Kissed her while everybody's playin'
The Bonaparte's Retreat

Yes I held her in my arms, I told her of her many charms, and I
Kissed her while everybody's playin'

Met the girl I love in a town way down in Dixie
Conheci a garota que amo em uma cidade lá no sul
Beneath the stars up above
Sob as estrelas lá em cima
She was the sweetest girl I ever did see
Ela era a garota mais doce que eu já vi
So I held her in my arms and told her of her many charms, I
Então eu a segurei em meus braços e falei de seus muitos encantos, eu
Kissed her while the guitars played
A beijei enquanto as guitarras tocavam
The Bonaparte's Retreat
A Retirada de Bonaparte
Guitar
Na guitarra
All the world was bright as I held her on that night
O mundo inteiro estava claro enquanto eu a segurava naquela noite
And I heard her say
E eu a ouvi dizer
Please don't you go away
Por favor, não vá embora
So I held her in my arms and told her of her many charms, I
Então eu a segurei em meus braços e falei de seus muitos encantos, eu
Kissed her while the bagpipe played
A beijei enquanto a gaita de foles tocava
The Bonaparte's Retreat
A Retirada de Bonaparte
Bagpipe
Na gaita de foles
Well I met the girl I I love in a town way down in Dixie
Bem, eu conheci a garota que amo em uma cidade lá no sul
Beneath the stars up above
Sob as estrelas lá em cima
She was the sweetest girl I ever did see
Ela era a garota mais doce que eu já vi
So I held her in my arms and told her of her many charms, I
Então eu a segurei em meus braços e falei de seus muitos encantos, eu
Kissed her while the fiddles played
A beijei enquanto os violinos tocavam
The Bonaparte's Retreat
A Retirada de Bonaparte
Fiddle
Violino
All the world was bright as I held her on that night
O mundo inteiro estava claro enquanto eu a segurava naquela noite
And I heard her say
E eu a ouvi dizer
Please don't you go away
Por favor, não vá embora
So I held her in my arms and told her of her many charms, I
Então eu a segurei em meus braços e falei de seus muitos encantos, eu
Kissed her while everybody played
A beijei enquanto todos tocavam
The Bonaparte's Retreat
A Retirada de Bonaparte
Everybody
Todos
Yes I held her in my arms and told her of her many charms, I
Sim, eu a segurei em meus braços e falei de seus muitos encantos, eu
Kissed her while everybody's playin'
A beijei enquanto todos estavam tocando
The Bonaparte's Retreat
A Retirada de Bonaparte
Yes I held her in my arms, I told her of her many charms, and I
Sim, eu a segurei em meus braços, falei de seus muitos encantos, e eu
Kissed her while everybody's playin'
A beijei enquanto todos estavam tocando
