Didrik Solli-Tangen - Six ribbons lyrics

If I were a minstrel I'd sing you six love songs To tell the whole world of the love that we share If I were a merchant I'd bring you six diamonds With six blood red roses for my love to wear 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 eyes 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 fare But I am a simple man, a poor common farmer So take my six ribbons to tie back your hair If I were a minstrel I'd sing you six love songs To tell the whole world of the love that we share So be not afraid my love, you're never alone love While you wear my ribbons tying back your hair Once I was a simple man, a poor common farmer I gave you six ribbons to tie back your hair Too-ra-lee, too-ra-lie, all I can share Is only six ribbons to tie back your hair Too-ra-lee, too-ra-lie, all I can share I gave you six ribbons to tie back your hair
