ANOTHER MAN'S WIFE. MINSTREL SONG
There's no one in this town but us,
And your gaze burns my soul
I've embraced many beauties, alas, many times,
But don't listen to women's gossip!
There're a law and a closed door between us ,
I sing in the market-place to the rabble.
You're dressed in silk and ermine now,
Why hast thou come to me from vespers?
Thou bring'st in thy hair the scent of roses,
And your eyes look reproachful.
And you could not believe in my love.
We'll be parted forever soon.
chorus:
The light's on in the window, my husband's not home, I'm sneaking around like a thief again,
Your lips are dopey, your bed is crumpled and the dawn is too fast,
The mud of the highways, the lonely woods, colored dreams of you,
I'll remember the kiss of another man's wife even on the scaffold!
