О песне

Lavender's Blue is a traditional song often used as a lullaby. It is not known who it was written by or when, but it dates back to at least the 1680s. Like many lullabies it has probably been passed down through generations and has changed every time. There are as many as thirty verses to the song, for example an alternative opening is "Lavender's blue, dilly dilly, rosemary's green"

"Голубая Лаванда" - это народная песня, которую часто поют как колыбельную. Её автор неизвестен, но упоминания о ней датированы не позднее 1680-гг. Как многие колыбельные, она передавалась из уст в уста, из поколения в поколение и каждый раз подвергалась небольшим изменениям. Существует по крайней мере тридцать вариантов этой песни, так, альтернативное начало песни: "Голубая Лаванда, дили-дили, Зелёный Розмарин".

Lavender blue, dilly-dilly,
Lavender green,
If I were king, dilly-dilly,
I'd need a queen.
Who told me so?, dilly-dilly,
Who told me so?
I told myself, dilly-dilly,
I told me so!

If your dilly-dilly heart
Feels a dilly-dilly way
And if you'll answer yes.
In a pretty little church
On a dilly-dilly day
You'll be wed in a dilly-dilly dress of

Lavender blue, dilly-dilly,
Lavender green,
Then I'll be king, dilly-dilly,
And you'll be my queen.

Lavender blue, dilly-dilly,
Lavender green,
Then I'll be king, dilly-dilly,
And you'll be my queen!

Традиционная версия:

Lavender's blue, dilly dilly, lavender's green,
When I am king, dilly, dilly, you shall be queen.
Who told you so, dilly, dilly, who told you so?
"It was my own heart, dilly, dilly, that told me so".

Call up your men, dilly, dilly, set them to work
Some with a rake, dilly, dilly, some with a fork.
Some to make hay, dilly, dilly, some to thresh corn.
While you and I, dilly, dilly, keep ourselves warm.

Lavender's green, dilly, dilly, Lavender's blue,
If you love me, dilly, dilly, I will love you.
Let the birds sing, dilly, dilly, And the lambs play;
We shall be safe, dilly, dilly, Out of harm's way.

I love to dance, dilly, dilly, I love to sing;
When I am queen, dilly, dilly, You'll be my king.
Who told me so, dilly, dilly, Who told me so?
"I told myself, dilly, dilly, I told me so!".
