Get down, get down, little Henry Lee
And stay all night with me
You won’t find a girl in this damn world
That will compare with me
And the wind did howl and the wind did blow
La la la la la
La la la la lee
A little bird lit down on Henry Lee
I can’t get down and I won’t get down
And stay all night with thee
For the girl I have in that merry green land
I love far better than thee
And the wind did howl and the wind did blow
La la la la la
La la la la lee
A little bird lit down on Henry Lee
She leaned herself against a fence
Just for a kiss or two
And with a little pen-knife held in her hand
She plugged him through and through
And the wind did roar and the wind did moan
La la la la la
La la la la lee
A little bird lit down on Henry Lee
Come take him by his lily-white hands
Come take him by his feet
And throw him in this deep deep well
Which is more than one hundred feet
And the wind did howl and the wind did blow
La la la la la
La la la la lee
A little bird lit down on Henry Lee
Lie there, lie there, little Henry Lee
Till the flesh drops from your bones
For the girl you have in that merry green land
Can wait forever for you to come home
And the wind did howl and the wind did moan
La la la la la
La la la la lee
A little bird lit down on Henry Lee

Prevod pesme

Henri Li

Dođi, dođi, mali Henri Li
I ostani sa mnom celu noć
Na celom ovom prokletom svetu nećeš devojku naći
Koja se sa mnom može uporediti
A vetar je zavijao i vetar je duvao
La la la la la
La la la la li
Jedna ptičica na Henri Lija je sletela
Ja ne mogu da dođem i neću doći
I celu noć s tobom ostati
Jer devojku svoju tamo u veseloj zelenoj zemlji
Ja volim mnogo više nego tebe
A vetar je zavijao i vetar je duvao
La la la la la
La la la la li
Jedna ptičica na Henri Lija je sletela
Uz ogradu se prislonila
Samo zbog jednog poljupca il dva
I sa malim džepnim nožićem
Uzduž i popreko ga isekla
A vetar je hučao i vetar je ječao
La la la la la
La la la la li
Jedna ptičica na Henri Lija je sletela
Dođi uhvati njegove kao ljiljan bele ruke
Dođi uhvati ga za stopala
I baci ga u ovaj duboki duboki bunar
Koji je dublji od trideset metara
A vetar je zavijao i vetar je duvao
La la la la la
La la la la li
Dođi uhvati njegove kao ljiljan bele ruke
Lezi tamo, lezi tamo, mali Henri Li
Dok ti meso sa kostiju ne otpadne
Jer ta devojka koju imaš u toj veseloj zelenoj zemlji
Da se ti kući vratiš ne može večno čekati
A vetar je zavijao i vetar je ječao
La la la la la
La la la la li
Jedna ptičica na Henri Lija je sletela

Threw my bad fortune
Off the top of
A tall building
But I’d rather have done it with you

Your boy’s smile
Five in the morning
Looked into your eyes
And I was really in love

In Chinatown
Hungover
You showed me
Just what I could do

Talking about
Time travel
And the meaning
And just what it was worth

And I feel like some bird of paradise
My bad fortune slipping away
And I feel the innocence of a child
Everybody’s got something good to say

Things I once thought
Unbelievable
In my life
Have all taken place

When we walked through
Little Italy
I saw my reflection
Come right off your face

I paint pictures
To remember
You’re too beautiful
To put into words

Like a gypsy
You dance in circles
All around me
And all over the world

And I feel like….

So I take my
Good fortune
And I fantasize
Of our leaving
Like some modern-day
Gypsy landslide

Like some modern-day
Bonnie and Clyde
On the run again

Prevod pesme

Sreća

Bacila sam svoju zlu sudbinu
sa vrha
jedne visoke zgrade
Ali više bih volela da sam to s tobom uradila

Tvoj dečački osmeh
pet ujutru
u oči sam te pogledala
i bila sam stvarno zaljubljena

U kineskoj četvrti
mamurna
Ti pokazao si mi
za šta sam sve sposobna

Priča o
putovanju kroz vreme
i smislu
i o tome koliko je vredelo sve to

I osećam se kao neka rajska ptica
Moja zla sudbina izmiče
I ja osećam nevinost deteta
Svako ima nešto dobro da kaže

Stvari koje su mi se nekad činile
neverovatne
u mom životu
sve su se desile

Kad smo prošli kroz
Malu Italiju
videla sam svoj odraz
na tvom licu

na tvom licu

Crtam slike
da bih pamtila
kako si prelep
da bih to opisala

Kao neki cigan
ti plešeš u krug
oko mene
i širom sveta

I ja imam osećaj….

I zato uzimam svoju
sreću
i maštam
kako odlazimo
kao neka moderna
ciganska lavina

Kao neki Boni i Klajd
modernog doba
ponovo u begu
