Geordie [English translation]

As I crossed London Bridge

in a day without sunshine

I saw a woman weeping love

she was crying for her Geordie

They will gallow Geordie with a rope of gold

it is a rare privilege

he stole six deers in the park of the King

and he sold them for money

Saddle her horse with the white mane

saddle her pony

she will ride up to London tonight

to plead for Geordie

Geordie never stole not even for me

a fruit or a rare flower

he stole six deers in the park of the King

he sold them for money

Save his lips, save his smile

he doesn't have yet twenty years

winter will fall even on his face

you can hang him then

Neither the heart of the British nor the scepter of the King

will b able to save Geordie

although they will mourn with you

the law cannot change

So they will hang him with a rope of gold

it is a rare privilege

he stole six deers in the park of the King

he sold them for money
