The Infanta (Live) - The Decemberists[00:00:00]

Written by：Colin Meloy[00:00:01]

Here she comes in her palanquin[00:00:54]

On the back[00:00:58]

Of an Elephant[00:01:00]

On a bed made of linen and sequins and silk[00:01:02]

All astride on her father's line[00:01:09]

With the king and his concubines[00:01:13]

And her nurse with her pitchers of liquors and milk[00:01:17]

And we'll all come praise the infanta[00:01:24]

And we'll all come praise the infanta[00:01:31]

Among five score pachyderm[00:01:43]

Each canopied and passengered[00:01:46]

Sit the duke[00:01:50]

And the duchess' luscious young girls[00:01:52]

Within sight of the baronness[00:01:58]

Seething spite for this live largesse[00:02:01]

By her side sits the baron[00:02:05]

Her barrenness barbs her[00:02:08]

And we'll all come praise the infanta[00:02:13]

And we'll all come praise the infanta[00:02:20]

A phalanx on camel back[00:02:57]

Thirty ranks on a forward track[00:03:01]

Followed close[00:03:04]

Their shiny bright standards a waving[00:03:07]

While behind in their coach in fours[00:03:12]

Ride the wives of the king of Moors[00:03:15]

And the veiled young virgin the prince's betrothed[00:03:19]

And we'll all come praise the infanta[00:03:27]

And we'll all come praise the infanta[00:03:34]

And as she sits upon her place[00:03:46]

Her innocence laid on her face[00:03:54]

From all atop the parapets blow a multitude of coronets[00:03:59]

Melodies rhapsodical and fair[00:04:05]

And all our hearts a fire[00:04:10]

The sky ablaze with cannon fire[00:04:12]

We all raise our voices to the air[00:04:15]

To the air[00:04:22]

And above all this falderal[00:04:30]

On a bed made of chaparral[00:04:33]

She is laid[00:04:37]

A coronal placed on her brow[00:04:39]

And the babe all in slumber dreams[00:04:44]

Of a place filled with quiet streams[00:04:48]

And the lake[00:04:52]

Where her cradle was pulled from the water[00:04:54]

And we'll all come praise the infanta[00:05:00]

And we'll all come praise the infanta[00:05:07]

And we'll all come praise the infanta[00:05:15]
