Peter,Paul,Mary - Puff, The Magic Dragon (lyrics and translation)

Posted by : NIA at 9:35 PM

Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea,

and frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honah Lee

Little Jackie Paper loved that rascal Puff,

and brought him strings and sealing wax and other fancy stuff

Oh!

Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea,

and frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honah Lee

Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea,

and frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honah Lee

Together they would travel on a boat with billowed sail

Jackie kept a lookout perched on Puff's gigantic tail,

Noble kings and princes would bow whene'er they came,

Pirate ships would lower their flags when Puff roared out his name

Oh!

Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea,

and frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honah Lee

Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea,

and frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honah Lee

A dragon lives forever but not so little boys

Painted wings and giant rings make way for other toys

One grey night it happened, Jackie Paper came no more

And Puff that mighty dragon, he ceased his fearless roar

His head was bent in sorrow, green scales fell like rain,

Puff no longer went to play along the cherry lane

Without his life-long friend, Puff could not be brave,

So Puff that mighty dragon sadly slipped into his cave

Oh!

Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea,

and frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honah Lee

Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea,

and frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honah Lee
