《We Sold Our Homesteads》歌词

[00:00:01] We Sold Our Homesteads - Falconer

[00:00:12] We sold our homesteads and started on our way

[00:00:18] Just like the birds will fly when autumn is here to stay

[00:00:24] One day they will return

[00:00:26] Come spring again that's when

[00:00:30] But we will never see our native country again

[00:00:36] At first we traveled through the English countryside

[00:00:42] On tracks and on wagons

[00:00:45] As quickly as birds would fly

[00:00:47] It was a lovely sight to see the land at last

[00:00:54] But all the glorious sights kept flashing by too fast

[00:01:00] The glorious sights kept flashing by too fast

[00:01:16] And later when we came to Liverpudlian bay

[00:01:22] The tears of regret finally started to have their say

[00:01:28] The hearts then started burning in each and everyone

[00:01:34] We only talked of Sweden that used to be our home

[00:01:40] We all were packed together in one unhealthy cave

[00:01:46] It was as if we'd stepped into an open grave

[00:01:52] The food that we had brought from blessed Swedish land

[00:01:58] Was suddenly forbidden and taken from our hand

[00:02:04] It was forbidden and taken from our hand

[00:02:57] And when we had been sailing for just a week or two

[00:03:03] A horrid kind of darkness was clouding our view

[00:03:09] We couldn't see each other and hardly breathe or walk

[00:03:15] It was a gruesome anguish for all people aboard

[00:03:21] The air was filled with hunger and drenched in wretched cries

[00:03:27] The howling and the noises would pierce right through the skies

[00:03:33] And death became the ruler that forced us to our knees

[00:03:38] The dead were buried in the horrid fathom of the seas

[00:03:45] They were buried in the fathom of the seas
