Текст песни The Court's Fool

I'm going to tell you

About the story of a fool

Who met an ironic end

On the way back home

He was a queer fellow

Dressed in many colours

And many were his names

According to the place

He carried a little lute across his back

And a strange hat on his head

Every night he was there

In the court's yard to delight

All the nobles that just called him "The Fool"

But his tongue was a sort of knife

And all his melodies and tales

Re-echoed through the night

Lords of the realm never paid attention

To the words of a poor fool

Or they simply never understood him

He was living on the edge, and maybe

He would end up with a noose around his neck

But something was going to happen that night

[Chorus:]

Every night he was there

In the court's yard to delight

All the nobles that just called him "The Fool"

But his tongue was a sort of knife

And all his melodies and tales

Re-echoed through the night

So that night in the middle of the tale

He pointed at the King and burst out laughing:

A deathlike silence set on the guests!

So the wrathful Master rose to his feet

And chased the Fool out of his yard

But the Fool got near the Lords' table

Drank from Master's goblet and said:

"God save the King!" and broke into a laugh!

Chased out of the Court

The fool took the way back home

But after a while he was seized by a sudden illness and dropped dead

Maybe there wasn't just wine in that goblet

[Chorus]
