Origineel
[Verse 1: Marianne Faithfull]
I’m known by many different names
My good friend Will
Calls me Puck and Robin Goodfellow
I follow the gypsy faerie queen
I follow the gypsy faerie queen
She walks the length and breadth of England
Singing her song, using her wand
To help and heal the land
And the creatures on it
She’s dressed in rags of moleskin
And wears a crown of Rowan berries on her brow
[Chorus: Marianne Faithfull & Nick Cave]
And I follow, follow, follow
The gypsy faerie queen
We exist, exist, exist
In the twilight in-between
[Verse 2: Marianne Faithfull]
She bears a blackthorn staff
To help her in her walking
I only listen to her sing
But I never hear her talking
Anymore
Though once she did
Though once she did
[Chorus: Marianne Faithfull & Nick Cave]
And I follow, follow, follow
My gypsy faerie queen
We exist, exist, exist
In the twilight in-between
And I follow, follow, follow
My gypsy faerie queen
We exist, exist, exist
In the country in-between
[Outro: Marianne Faithfull]
Me and my gypsy queen
Vertaling
[Verse 1: Marianne Faithfull]
I’m known by many different names
Mijn goede vriend Will
noemt me Puck en Robin Goodfellow
Ik volg de zigeuner feeën koningin
Ik volg de zigeuner feeënkoningin
Ze loopt door heel Engeland
Ze zingt haar lied en gebruikt haar staf
om het land te helpen en te genezen
en de wezens erop
Ze is gekleed in vodden van moleskin
En draagt een kroon van lijsterbessen op haar voorhoofd
[Refrein: Marianne Faithfull & Nick Cave]
En ik volg, volg, volg
The gypsy faerie queen
Wij bestaan, bestaan, bestaan
In the twilight in-between
[Vers 2: Marianne Faithfull]
She Bears a Blackthorn Staff
Om haar te helpen bij het lopen
I only listen to her sing
Maar ik hoor haar nooit praten
Anymore
Hoewel ze dat ooit wel deed
Hoewel ze dat ooit wel deed
[Refrein: Marianne Faithfull & Nick Cave]
En ik volg, volg, volg
Mijn zigeuner feeënkoningin
We exist, exist, exist
In the twilight in-between
And I follow, follow, follow
My gypsy faerie queen
We exist, exist, exist
In the country in-between
[Outro: Marianne Faithfull]
Me and my gypsy queen
