Jauvet - In the trade of jesters lyrics

rate me

(Jester's song from Visby 1997)

(Song music lyrics by Jenny Hoberg, Danne Norr Joakim Ohlsson)

Solo first verse

In the trade of jester, we'’re fools that play our part.

In an act sworn by folklore, where the lines are made by heart

All together whit femal leed high note

Getting gold from the nobles and mocking from yey all.

But we drink with the greatest warriors and we dance in every hall

We travel through the countries. We go from town to town.

We’re the sworn kings of jester. But we never worn a crown.

Getting gold from the nobles and mocking from yey all.

But we drink with the greatest warriors and we dance in every hall

I never had a family. Nor have I had a wife. It’s a high cost of living

It’s the price I pay for life

Getting gold from the nobles and mocking from yey all.

But we drink with the greatest warriors and we dance in every hall

We meet the fairest ladies but we never had a chance.

So we play our bagpipes as the common people dance.

Getting gold from the nobles and mocking from yey all.

But we drink with the greatest warriors and we dance in every hall

To die without a nickel is a scare for anyone.

So we work until our last day and we die like common man.

Getting gold from yey nobels and mocking from yey all

We drink whit greatest warroirs and ladies hearts we stole away

Hope is what guides us it leads us trough the day

We rather be kings of jesters and protected by the brave

Thanks to V.bea joculatores for the lyrics ;)
