They came for him one winter's night.Arrested, he was bound.They said there'd been a robbery,his pistol had been found.They marched him to the station house,he waited for the dawn.And as they led him to the dock,he knew that he'd been wronged."You stand accused of robbery,"he heard the bailiff say.He knew without an alibi,tomorrow's light would mourn his freedom.Over the hills and far away,for ten long years he'll count the days.Over the mountains and the seas,a prisoner's life for him there'll be.He knew that it would cost him dear,but yet he dare not say.Where he had been that fateful night,a secret it must stay.He had to fight back tears of rage.His heart beat like a drum.For with the wife of his best friend,he spent his final night of freedom.Over the hills and far away,he swears he will return one day.Far from the mountains and the seas,back in her arms again he'll be.Over the hills and far away.Over the hills and,over the hills and,over the hills and far away.Each night within his prison cell,he looks out through the bars.He reads the letters that she wrote.One day he'll know the taste of freedom.Over the hills and far away,she prays he will return one day.As sure as the rivers reach the seas,back in his arms again she'll be.Over the hills and far away,he swears he will return one day.Far from the mountains and the seas,back in her arms again he'll be.Over the hills and far away,she prays he will return one day.As sure as the rivers reach the sea,back in her arms is where he'll be.Over the hills,over the hills and far away.Over the hills,over the hills and far away.Over The Hills And Far Away (оригинал Nightwish)They came for him one winter's night.Arrested, he was bound.They said there'd been a robbery,his pistol had been found.They marched him to the station house,he waited for the dawn.And as they led him to the dock,he knew that he'd been wronged."You stand accused of robbery,"he heard the bailiff say.He knew without an alibi,tomorrow's light would mourn his freedom.Over the hills and far away,for ten long years he'll count the days.Over the mountains and the seas,a prisoner's life for him there'll be.He knew that it would cost him dear,but yet he dare not say.Where he had been that fateful night,a secret it must stay.He had to fight back tears of rage.His heart beat like a drum.For with the wife of his best friend,he spent his final night of freedom.Over the hills and far away,he swears he will return one day.Far from the mountains and the seas,back in her arms again he'll be.Each night within his prison cell,he looks out through the bars.He reads the letters that she wrote.One day he'll know the taste of freedom.Over the hills and far away,she prays he will return one day.As sure as the rivers reach the seas,back in his arms again she'll be.Over the hills and far away,he swears he will return one day.Far from the mountains and the seas,back in her arms again he'll be.* - это кавер-версия композиции, первоначально исполненной Gary Moore За ним пришли однажды зимней ночью,Арестовали вдруг, связали, увели.Сказали: "Совершилось ограбленье".И быстро пистолет его нашли.Его привели в полицейский участок.Он ждал проясненья всего,Но уже на скамье подсудимыхОн понял,что всё здесь против него."Вы обвиняетесь в ограблении!"-Он слышал,как пристав это сказал.И понимал он,что без доказательствУтренний свет о нем горевал.Далеко за холмамиДесять лет потянутся долгими днями.Далеко за горами,далеко за морямиУзник жить будет в этой тюрьме.Он знал,чего это будет стоить,Но никому не посмел рассказать.То,где он был роковой этой ночью,Секретом навеки должно было стать.Поборол слезы ярости,но не испуга,Сердцу в груди оставаться невмочь...Просто с женой своего лучшего другаПровел он последнюю свободы ночь.Далеко за холмамиОн клянется вернуться в один светлый деньДалеко за горами и за морямиОн снова вернется в объятия к ней.Далеко за холмами...Далеко...Далеко...Далеко за холмамиКаждою ночью в камере темнойГлядит он сквозь решетки,Читает письма её неустанно,Однажды познает свободы он вкус...Далеко за холмамиО его возвращении она молитсяцелыми днями"Так же точно,как реки впадают в моря,В его объятьях окажусь снова я".Далеко за холмамиОн клянется вернуться в один светлый деньДалеко за горами и за морямиОн снова вернется в объятия к ней.Далеко за холмамиО его возвращении она молитсяцелыми днями"Так же точно,как реки впадают в моря,В его объятьях окажусь снова я".Далеко...Далеко за холмамиГде-то за тридевять земель (перевод Venena из Саранска)Нет холоднее ночи той,Когда за ним пришли,Связали, увели с собойИ пистолет нашли...Его в участок привели,Где он ...
