Words in English
ïïïïDana lay down and fell asleep, oh Lord,
in a little garden,
in a little garden, oh Lord,
under an olive tree.
ïïïïThe wind blew from the sea, oh Lord,
and broke off an olive twig,
and broke off an olive twig, oh Lord.
It hit Dana in the face.
ïïïïDana called out, began to cry, oh Lord,
ìOh, God,
I had just fallen asleep, oh Lord, and was dreaming a sweet
dream.
ïïïïIn the dream three men came, oh Lord,
three men, three young lads.
The first gave me a gold ring, oh Lord,
The second gave me an apple,
The second gave me an apple, oh Lord. The third kissed me.
ïïïïThe one that gave me a gold ring, oh Lord,
he can go crawl through it.
The one that gave me an apple, oh Lord,
may he be green till the grave.
The one that kissed me, oh Lord,
let me spend forever with him!:î
