Oh, how wide, oh, how long is this road
Song
1. Alas, but wide, alas, but long is this road, ; On which my old baby set out, ; My old baby, return on your long journey, ; Remember my word last night. ; ; 2. There is no way to return from a long journey, ; My old baby, you don't love me anymore, ; Love is wider than the water of the sea, ; I am more orphaned than a falling leaf. ; ; 3. A falcon bird builds a nest on a rock, ; Down in the valley a little girl watches, crying, ; But it's good for you, falcon bird, you have a partner, ; With whom you will travel the big world.
