Little Shoemaker

[English words by Geoffrey Clarmont Parsons, Nathan Korb
and John Turner Phillips]

Tap, tap, stitch and tap
Making a pair of shoes

Lei scarpini de bailare, bailare
Bailaremos tutusi
Lei scarpini de bailare, bailare
Bailaremos con cosi

In the shoemaker's shop this refrain would never stop
As he tapped away, working all the day
At his bench, there was he, just as busy as a bee
Little time to lose for the boots and shoes

But his heart went "pop" inside the little shop
When a lovely girl set him all a-whirl
She had come to choose some pretty dancing shoes
And he heard her say in a charming way

Shoes to set my feet a-dancing, dancing
Dancing, dancing all the day
Shoes to set my feet a-dancing, dancing
Dancing all my cares away

Then he tapped and he stitched for his fingers were bewitched
And he sewed a dream into every seam
Making shoes, oh, so neat just like magic on her feet
And he hoped she'd know that he loved her so

But she danced, danced, danced
As though she were entranced
Like a spinning top all around the shop
On her dainty feet she whirled in the street
And he heard her say as she danced away

Lei scarpini de bailare, bailare
Bailaremos tutusi
Lei scarpini de bailare, bailare
Bailaremos con cosi

Shoes to set my feet a-dancing, dancing
Dancing all my cares away

All my cares away

Pick of the Week

Title:Greenfields
Artist: Brothers Four - Contributor:Webmaster

Once there were green fields kissed by the sun.
Once there were valleys where rivers used to run.
Once there were blue skies with white clouds high above.
Once they were part of an everlasting love.
We were the lovers who strolled through green fields.

Green fields are gone now, parched by the sun.
Gone from the valleys where rivers used to run.
Gone with the cold wind that swept into my heart.
Gone with the lovers who let their dreams depart.
Where are the green fields that we used to roam ?

I'll never know what made you run away.
How can I keep searching when dark clouds hide the day.
I only know there's nothing here for me.
Nothing in this wide world, left for me to see.

Still I'll keep on waiting until you return.
I'll keep on waiting until the day you learn.
You can't be happy while your heart's on the roam,
You can't be happy until you bring it home.
Home to the green fields and me once again.
