Geordie
Gabry Ponte Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Impiccherranno Geordie con una corda doro
un privelegio raro
Rub sei cervi nel parco del re
Vendendoli per denaro

'cause lo impiccheranno con una corda doro
un privelegio raro
Rub sei cervi nel parco del re
Vendendoli per denaro

English Version
They Will Hang Geordie With A Gold Rope
It Is A Rare Privilege




He Stole Six Deers In The Park Of The King
Selling Them For Money

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Gabry Ponte's song Geordie mainly speak about the story of a man named Geordie, who was caught stealing six deer from the king's park and was sentenced to be hanged with a gold rope. The words express the rarity of such a privilege, which gives an indication of Geordie's high-class background, thereby emphasizing the seriousness of his crime. The song's narrative is suggestive and descriptive as it paints a vivid picture of the events that led to Geordie's downfall.


Despite its seemingly morbid theme, the song Geordie carries a historical significance with its roots in Scottish folklore. This song dates back to the late 18th century when it became a popular ballad about the life of a notorious criminal named Kinmont Willie Armstrong. It was later adapted and reinterpreted by various artists and musicians, including Joan Baez and Ewan MacColl, who gave it an anti-hanging twist. Gabry Ponte's version, however, stays true to its original Scottish meaning.
