I went down to my garden
I went down to my garden
To pick rosemary
Nice poppy ladies
Nice new poppy
I don't have any hadn't picked three sprigs
I hadn't picked three sprigs
That a nightingale came to my hand
Nice poppy ladies
Nice new poppy
He says three words to me in Latin
He says three words to me in Latin
That the weather will be better tomorrow
Nice poppy ladies
Nice poppy again
TRANSLATION
I went down to my garden
To gather some rosemary
Nice poppy; ladies
Nice new poppy
I hadn't gathered three sprigs of it
When a nightingale came on my hand
Nice poppy; ladies
Nice new poppy
It told me three words in Latin
It told me three words in Latin
That the weather will be fairer tomorrow
Nice poppy; ladies
Nice new poppy
