Saltillo — Paroles et traduction des paroles de la chanson A Hair on the Head of John the Baptist

Paroles

Are you honest?
My lord?
Are you fair?
What means you lordship?
I… did love you once
Indeed, my lord, you made me believe so
You should not have believed me… I loved you not
I was the more deceived
Get thee to a nunnery! Why wouldst thou be a breeder of sinners?
We are arrant knaves, believe none of us. Go thy ways to a nunnery
O, help him, you sweet heavens!
If thou dost marry, I’ll give thee this plague for thy dowry: be thou as chaste
as ice, as pure as snow, thou shalt not escape calumny. Or if thou need marry,
marry a fool; for wise men know well enough what monsters you make of them
Hair on the head of John the Baptist
Hair on the head of John the Baptist
Hair on the head of John the Baptist
Hair on the head of John the Baptist.
Hair on the head of John the Baptist. Oh God!
I loved you not
Thou know’st 'tis common: all that lives must die
Passing through nature to eternity
Aye, madam, it is common
If it be, why seems it so particular with thee?
Seems? Madam, nay, it is, I know not «seems.»
Seem
For they are actions that a man might play;
But I have that within
Hair on the head of John the Baptist.
Hair on the head of John the Baptist. Oh God!
Hair on the head of John the Baptist.
Hair on the head of John the Baptist. Oh God!
Hair on the head of John the Baptist.
Hair on the head of John the Baptist. Oh God!
Hair on the head of John the Baptist.
Hair on the head of John the Baptist. Oh God!
So, when this loose behavior I throw off
And pay the debt I never promised
By how much better than my word I am
By so much shall I falsify men’s hopes;
I’ll so offend, to make offence a skill;
Redeeming time when men think least I will
Judas,
For worms… fare thee well, great heart
Adieu, and take thy praise with thee to heaven!
Thy ignominy sleep with thee in the grave
But not remember’d in thy epitaph!
This bodiless creation ecstasy
Is very cunning in
Ecstasy?
I must be cruel, only to be kind;
Thus bad begins, and worse remains behind
I loved you not
Presume not that I am the thing I was!
For God doth know, so shall the world perceive
That I have turn’d away my former self;
So will I those that kept me company
