Three Wardens

Lyrics by Yael, who plays Danika Alicja Dabrowska. This is based on Layla Layla by Natan Alterman; the tune was composed by the Kyiv-born Mordechai Zeira.

A recording is available here by Yael

In the night time, the wind is howling, In the night time, the tree boughs are rustling, In the night time, to guard hearth and home, Rest my darling, three wardens now roam, Rest my darling, three wardens now roam.

In the night time, Rest my darling, three wardens now roam.

In the night time, a Wolf took one warden; In the night time, a sword took the second, In the night time, one warden was lost, Rest my darling, your name he forgot, Rest my darling your name he forgot.

In the night time, Rest my darling, your name he forgot.

In the night time, the wind is howling, In the night time, the tree boughs are rustling, In the night time, three wardens once rode Rest my darling, and stay on the road. Rest my darling, and stay on the road.

In the night time, Rest my darling, and stay on the road.
