Translation
Bilingual
I was a highwayman
Along the coach roads, I did ride
With sword and pistol by my side
Many a young maid lost her baubles to my trade
Many a soldier left his life's blood on my blade
The bastards hung me in the spring of '25
I am still alive
I was a sailor
And I was born upon the tide
And with the sea, I did abide
I sailed a schooner around the Horn to Mexico
I went aloft to furl the mainsail in a blow
And when the yards broke off, they said that I got killed
But I am living still
Perhaps I always will
I was a dam builder
Across the river deep and wide
Where steel and water did collide
A place called Boulder on the wild Colorado
I slipped and fell into the wet concrete below
They buried me in that great tomb that knows no sound
I am still around
I'll fly a starship
Across the universe divide
And when I reach the other side
I'll find a place to rest my spirit if I can
Perhaps I may become a highwayman again
Or I may simply be a single drop of rain
But something will remain
And I'll be back again
Lord, and here we go, but we'll all be back again
Yes, I will
Lord, here we go, but we'll all be back again
(Ooh-ooh) here we go
(Ooh-ooh)
And we'll all be back again
And here we go, but we'll all be back again
