Dream Of The Miner's Child |
A miner was leaving his home for his work |
When he heard his little child scream |
He went to the side of the little girl’s bed; |
She said, «Daddy, I’ve had such a dream!» |
«Please, daddy, don’t go to the mines today |
For dreams have so often come true |
My daddy, my daddy, please don’t go away |
For I never could live without you.» |
Then smiling and stroking the little girl’s face |
He was turning away from her side |
But she threw her small arms around daddy’s neck; |
She gave him a kiss and then cried: |
«Oh, I dreamed that the mines were all flaming with fire |
And the men all fought for their lives |
Just then the scene changed, and the mouth of the mines |
Was covered with sweethearts and wives.» |
«Oh, daddy, don’t go to the mines today |
For dreams have so often come true |
My daddy, my daddy, please don’t go away |
For I never could live without you.» |
«Go down to the village and tell your dear friends |
That as sure as the bright stars do shine |
There is something that’s going to happen today; |
Please, daddy, don’t go to the mines.» |
«Oh, daddy, don’t work in the mines today |
For dreams have so often come true |
My daddy, my daddy, please don’t go away |
For I never could live without you.» |
