Перевод на английский песни Игоря Кунина-Пастушкa

[Translated & Adapted from Igor Kunin's originals poem]

[Intro]
[Harpsichord & Lute melody - intricate, baroque, melancholic]
[Slow, heavy drum beat fades in with distorted power chords underneath]

[Verse 1: Soulful Female Solo (Mezzo)]
[Key: B minor] [Clean electric guitar arpeggios join lute/harpsichord]
By the castle, near the forest's edge,
Where the brook caresses sand with grace,
Sits a shepherdess, a tapestry thread,
Lonely on the grass, a wistful face.

[Pre-Chorus: Female Duet (Soprano & Alto)]
[Key shifts towards B Major] [Guitars build intensity slightly]
Ribbons, beads, the buckles gleam so bright,
Confined here, boundless there in sight.
To tend the herd in rococo's light...

[Chorus: Female Trio - Full Harmony, Emotional Surge]
[Key: B Major] [Heavy, slow power chords, crushing drums, bass prominent]
**Beads and ribbons, buckles, lace aglow,**
**Tight confines here, freedoms there below.**
**It's not easy to love a Rococo shepherdess, you know!**
**Oh, to love a Rococo shepherdess is woe!**

[Rock Guitar Interlude 1]
[Heavy, slow, melodic guitar solo - mournful, dramatic] [Crescendo] [Tone Modulation]

[Verse 2: Deep Female Solo (Alto)]
[Key: B minor] [Harpsichord/lute return subtly under heavy guitars]
A shepherd lad, love's captive, stands nearby,
Sighing darkly, matching her sad sound.
Trapped by shyness, too afraid to try,
How to hold her, lost and unprofound.

[Pre-Chorus: Female Duet (Soprano & Mezzo)]
[Key shifts towards B Major] [Guitars intensify]
Ribbons, beads, the buckles gleam so bright,
Confined here, boundless there in sight.
To love the maid in rococo's light...

[Chorus: Female Trio - Full Harmony, Maximum Emotion]
[Key: B Major] [Heavy, powerful, slightly slower]
**Beads and ribbons, buckles, lace aglow,**
**Tight confines here, freedoms there below.**
**It's not easy to love a Rococo shepherdess, you know!**
**Oh, to love a Rococo shepherdess is woe!**

[Rock Guitar Interlude 2]
[More intense, emotional guitar solo] [Crescendo] [Tone Modulation]

[Verse 3: Emotional Female Duet (Soprano & Alto)]
[Key: B minor] [Atmospheric keys swell]
Time moved on, the fashions turned and fled,
No more need for powdered wigs so tall.
Long-awaited freedom lay ahead,
For movement's call to break the wall.

[Chorus: Female Trio - Full Harmony, Loudly Emotional, Slightly Slower]
[Key: B Major] [Heaviest arrangement yet, slightly doomier]
**Beads and ribbons, buckles, lace aglow -**
**All have vanished, carried down the flow!**
**But ALAS! To tend the herd, the struggle won't release!**
**And ALAS! To love the shepherdess brings no more peace!**
**(Alas! To love the shepherdess brings no peace!)**

[Cool Outro]
[Harpsichord & Lute melody reprise - clear, melancholic]
[Clean, echoing guitar arpeggios join]
[Slow fade out with heavy, distant drum beat and final bass note]
[End]
