Song Lyrics[]
Here Comes a Song[]
The Gypsy Rover came over the hill
Bound through the valley so shady
He whistled and he sang til the green woods rang
And he won the heart of a lady
Chorus
Ah de do ah dee do dah day
Ah de do ah dee day de
He whistled and he sang til the green woods rang
And he won the heart of a lady
He came at last to a mansion fine
Down by the river Clady
And there was music and there was wine
For the Gypsy and his lady
Chorus
"He's no Gypsy, my Father", she said
"But Lord of the freelands all over
And I will stay till my dying day
With my whistling Gypsy Rover"
Chorus
Lachy![]
The gypsy rover came over the hill
Down through the valley so shady
He whistled and he sang
'Til the green woods rang
And he won the heart of a lady
Ar, de, doo, ar, de, doo, ar, day
Ar, de, doo, ar, de, day, de
He whistled and he sang
'Til the green woods rang
And he won the heart of a lady
She left her father's castle gate
She left her own fond lover
She left her servants and estate
To follow the Gypsy Rover
Ar, de, doo, ar, de, doo, ar, day
Ar, de, doo, ar, de, day, de
He whistled and he sang
'Til the green woods rang
And he won the heart of a lady
Her father saddled up his steed
Roamed the valleys all over
Sought his daughter at great speed
and the whistlin' gypsy rover
Ar, de, doo, ar, de, doo, ar, day
Ar, de, doo, ar, de, day, de
He whistled and he sang
'Til the green woods rang
And he won the heart of a lady
He came unto a mansion fine
Down by the river Clady
And there was music and there was wine
For the gypsy and his lady
Ar, de, doo, ar, de, doo, ar, day
Ar, de, doo, ar, de, day, de
He whistled and he sang
'Til the green woods rang
And he won the heart of a lady
He is no gypsy, my father, she said
But lord of these lands all over,
And I will stay till my dying day
With my whistlin' gypsy rover
Ar, de, doo, ar, de, doo, ar, day
Ar, de, doo, ar, de, day, de
He whistled and he sang
'Til the green woods rang
And he won the heart of a lady
Español (El Gitano Andante)[]
El gitano andante, desde un cerro, llegó
Cruzando por un altiplano
Silbó y cantó que hasta el bosque cantó, y así conquistó su dama
A-di-du, a-di-du-da-dey
A-di-du, a-di-dey
Silbó y cantó que hasta el bosque cantó, y así conquistó su dama
Al fin, llegó a una linda mansión, junto al río Guadiana
Música y comida, tenían ahí, para el gitano y su dama
A-di-du, a-di-du-da-dey
A-di-du, a-di-dey
Silbó y cantó que hasta el bosque cantó, y así conquistó su dama
"Padre, no es gitano", dijo ella así, "Es rey de la tierra libre"
"Y estaré con él hasta el día del final, con mi gitano andante que silba"
A-di-du, a-di-du-da-dey
A-di-du, a-di-dey
Silbó y cantó que hasta el bosque cantó, y así conquistó su dama
A-di-du, a-di-du-da-dey
A-di-du, a-di-dey
Silbó y cantó que hasta el bosque cantó, y así conquistó su dama
