If some people hunt about
For your indocile head,
So they could by noose around
Make more than thin your thin neck,

Hide in wood, be not lost, buddy;
There is no safer spot,
If you’ve been sold to somebody
With your bowels for nought.

Poor people, serves and wretches,
Deprecating life of thrall,
Also other homeless strangers,
Who have debts and have no all,

Who are hunted and exhausted
Run for freedom to the wood,
Just because of forest’s host,
A nice fellow, Robin Hood.

From half a word here’s understanding.
There’s not fear of sharp words.
Here honour and respecting
Wait wolf heads of any sort.

Even knights are hiding here
Waiting for a better time.
One, who has no lacks, no fear
Has in purse no more than dime.

People here know paths of deer
As fine as lines on a hand.
In the past they were serves, mere,
Now are free shooters of woodland.

And a man, who has been lost all,
Finds the defence in this wood,
Just because it’s place of strolls
Of nice fellow Robin Hood.

And they live in Sherwood Forest
Notwithstanding any laws.
And the gloom can not posses of
These free, daring outlaws.

Laying under ribs the moss,
Covered by starred sky they sleep.
Here, in spite of any frost,
While there’s life it’s nice to live.

But they sigh for there houses,
Far away are homes and roods,
And repair their bows
Lest in fight they wouldn’t be good.

There are no archers better.
What will wait them in this wood?
There will answer a nice fellow,
The best marksman, Robin Hood.
