Falconer - En Kungens Man lyrics

[Japanese Bonus Track] [Swedish Traditional] Maria g?r p? v?gen, som leder ner till byn. Hon sjunger och hon skrattar, ?t l?rkorna i skyn. Hon e p? v?g till torget f?r att s?lja lite br?d. Och solen stiger varm och stor, och f?rgar himlen r?d. D? m?ter hon en herre, p? en h?st med yvig man. Han s?ger "Jag e kungens man, som tar vad jag vill ha. Och du e allt f?r vacker, f?r att inte ha n?n man. F?lj med mig in i skogen ska jag visa vad jag kan". Hon tvingas ner i gr?set, och han tar p? hennes kropp. Hon slingrar sig och ber honom, f?r guds skull h?lla upp. Men riddarn bara skrattar, berusad av sin gl?d. S? hon tar hans kniv och st?ter till, Och riddaren e d?d! Dom f?ngslade Maria. Hon stenades f?r dr?p. Men minnet efter riddaren, blev firat varje ?r. Jag herrarna blir hj?ltar, men folket det blir d?mt. Och vi som ser hur allt g?tt till, f?r veta att vi dr?mt! [English Translation by Mathias Blad] Maria walks down the road to the village, She sings and laughs at the larks in the sky. She's on her way to the marketplace to sell some bread, And the sun is rising, warm and big, and colours the sky red. Then she meets a nobleman on a horse with a bushy mane. He say's: I'm the king's man so I take what I want And you are far too beautiful not to have a man, Come with me into the woods and I'll show you what I can! She's forced down in the gra** and he touches her body. She tries to get away and asks him for the love of god to stop But the knight just laughs, intoxicated by his own glow. So she grabs his knife and gives it a push and the knight is dead. They put Maria in prison, and she was stoned to d**h for manslaughter But the memory of the knight was celebrated each year. Yes, the noblemen become heroes but ordinary people is being condemned And we who see how it all really is learns that we've been dreaming!
