Once Upon A Troubadour lyrics

Artist  : Nightwish 
Song : Once Upon A Troubadour
 


[bonus track]

A lonely bard wandering
across the lands am I
Singing dancing finding
answers to every why
The taverns are full and
one crosses my path, too
I just might reward
myself with a beer or two

This inn the
place of many romantic tales
On the loft women
offer their sales
But my eyes they catch a
girl beat by everyone
A slave she is but for
me a rose undone

Hear me sing
Watch me
dance
Play that lute of thine
And share
with me this dance

As she danced my eyes
began to shine
There she was the maiden so
divine
How could I approach her with my
outlook so poor
Her beauty being much more
than I could endure

So I asked if I could
sing a chanson
With a language of ancient and
of lore
Gathered the men around us me and the
girl in rags
Soon were the melodies heard by
everyone

Hear us sing
Watch us
dance
Sing with us this tale
With a clap of
hands

The stories long-forgotten we still
know
Performing our skills wherever we go
I
end my story as I receive a kiss
From my girl
the dearest Beatrice

Hear us sing
Watch
us dance
Sing with us the tales
Which the
music will keep alive
