Richie Havens
minstrel from gaul
Select language to translate this lyric
A minstrel came down from Gaul
With scores of tales to tell
Some of them were true and some were false
And some we knew too well
It was told in fire
It was told in ice
It was told a million times
Though it need not be told twice
A soldier came down from Diem Ben Phu
With silence in his eyes
He told of many an evening
When fire was the sky
He told of many a morning
When the bravest of men would cry
Knowing, through Satan's earthbound magic
Many more would have to die
Many more would have to die
A man came down from Sinai Mountain
With words of truth for us all
How we bowed and knelt down
How we worshiped well
And when it came to listening
We listened little, if at all, if at all
