Cato's "Unsung Hero"

[ Zurück ] [ Home ] [ Nach oben ]

I’ve never been in battle
I’ve never been to sea
I’ve never robbed a maidenhead
’t was always given free

I haven’t sacked a city
Nor set a town aflame
And in all the tales the bards do tell
You’ll never hear my name

If fame arrives to find me
I’ll hide down in the cellar
If glory comes a calling
Please friends don't you tell her

I've never looked for glory
I've never looked for fame
And in all the tales the bards do tell
You'll never hear my name

I've never been a hero
I've never been a sage
I’ve never changed the minds of men
As I am not a mage

 I've never been to foreign lands
But I've heard they’re all the same
And in all the tales the bards do tell
you'll never hear my name

Of all the men they sing of
I'm the only one who's free
My cup - it holds no poison
No assassin waits for me

I'm no one to remember
But I'm also not to blame
So in all the tales the bards do tell
You'll never hear my name
