There was a rich man who had a lot of horses and cattle,
and poultry innumerable
and there was poor girl who had only one Lamb,
who was eating out of her hand
Is it good to destroy all you cherish
Is it good to destroy all your dreams
Is it good to destroy everything you work for
To destroy everything
you were the rich man, having all the wonders of the world,
I was the poor girl, who owned only her love.
You took it from me, and enjoyed it and you had had a whim
sacrifice the little thing that was mine.
Is it good to destroy everything you cherish
Is it good to destroy all your dreams
Is it good to destroy everything you work for
to destroy everything
There was a rich man who had a lot of horses and cattle,
and poultry innumerable,
and there was poor girl who had only her love.
You took it from me, and enjoyed it and you had had a whim
