Once Upon A Troubadour Lyrics - Nightwish
Review The Song (3)
A lonely bard wandering across the lands am I
Singing dancing finding answers to every why
The taverns are full and one crosses my path, too
I just might reward myself with a beer or two
This inn the place of many romantic tales
On the loft women offer their sales
But my eyes they catch a girl beat by everyone
A slave she is but for me a rose undone
Hear me sing
Watch me dance
Play that lute of thine
And share with me this dance
As she danced my eyes began to shine
There she was the maiden so divine
How could I approach her with my outlook so poor
Her beauty being much more than I could endure
So I asked if I could sing a chanson
With a language of ancient and of lore
Gathered the men around us me and the girl in rags
Soon were the melodies heard by all who came to pass
Hear us sing
Watch us dance
Sing with us this tale
With a clap of hands
The stories long-forgotten we still know
Performing our skills wherever we go
I end my story as I receive a kiss
From my girl the dearest Beatrice
Hear us sing
Watch us dance
Sing with us the tales
Which the music will keep alive
Singing dancing finding answers to every why
The taverns are full and one crosses my path, too
I just might reward myself with a beer or two
This inn the place of many romantic tales
On the loft women offer their sales
But my eyes they catch a girl beat by everyone
A slave she is but for me a rose undone
Hear me sing
Watch me dance
Play that lute of thine
And share with me this dance
As she danced my eyes began to shine
There she was the maiden so divine
How could I approach her with my outlook so poor
Her beauty being much more than I could endure
So I asked if I could sing a chanson
With a language of ancient and of lore
Gathered the men around us me and the girl in rags
Soon were the melodies heard by all who came to pass
Hear us sing
Watch us dance
Sing with us this tale
With a clap of hands
The stories long-forgotten we still know
Performing our skills wherever we go
I end my story as I receive a kiss
From my girl the dearest Beatrice
Hear us sing
Watch us dance
Sing with us the tales
Which the music will keep alive

A beautiful song | Reviewer: Pauline | 9/3/12
The first song I heard with Tuomas singing and what a surprise! I can't stop listening the first album Angels falls first. Every song of this album has a certain tenderness that makes it even more beautiful. Once upon a troubadour makes you travel in the Middle Age with Nightwish :) Long Live Nightwish!
Great :) | Reviewer: GnomiFisher | 10/24/09
i really love the combination of tarja and tuomas voices here, and i love the medieval style, i think more credit should be given to this song.
i love the simple repetition of the verses and chorus, and the middle break section, it's so well written, good, simple music
Once upon a troubadour | Reviewer: Marco | 9/1/07
I think this is one of the most under-rated songs by nightwish.. I love the duet, I love the story, and I think that Tuomas here has done nice vocals..
