Six Ribbons - Didrik Solli-Tangen

If I were a minstrel, I’d sing you six love songs

To tell the whole world of the love that we shared

If I were a merchant, I’d bring you six diamonds

With six blood red roses, for my love to share

But I am a simple man, a poor common farmer

So take my six ribbons, to tie back your hair

Yellow and brown, blue as the sky, red as my blood, green as your eye

If I were a nobleman

I’d bring you six carriages, with six snow white horses to take you anywhere

If I were the emperor

I’d build you six palaces with six hundred servants for comforting care

But I am a simple man a poor common farmer

So take my six ribbons to tie back your hair

If I where a minstrel

I’d sing you six love songs to tell the whole world of the love that we share

So don’t afraid, my love

You’re never alone, love while you wear my ribbons tie’n back your hair

Once I was a simple man a poor common farmer I gave you six ribbons to tie back

your hair

Tooralee, tooralie

All I can share is only six ribbons to tie back your hair

Tooralee, tooralie

All I can share is only six ribbons to tie back your hair
