[ti:the wind that shakes the barley] |
|
[ar:ann`sannat] |
| [00:38.80] |
I sat within a valley green |
| [00:44.16] |
I sat me with my true love |
| [00:48.55] |
And sad heart strove to choose between |
| [00:53.11] |
The old love and the new love |
| [00:57.86] |
The old for her,the new that made |
| [01:02.38] |
Me think on Ireland dearly |
| [01:07.22] |
and soft the wind blew down the glade |
| [01:12.03] |
that shook the golden barley |
| [01:16.70] |
Twas hard the woeful words to frame |
| [01:21.53] |
To break the ties that bound us |
| [01:26.21] |
But harder still to bear the shame |
| [01:31.05] |
Of foreign chains around us |
| [01:35.83] |
And so I said,"The mountain glen |
| [01:40.45] |
I'll seek at morning early |
| [01:45.08] |
And join the brave United Men |
| [01:49.84] |
While soft winds shook the barley" |
| [01:54.70] |
Twas sad I kissed away her tears |
| [01:59.55] |
Her arms around me flinging |
| [02:04.10] |
And then I hear that faithful shot |
| [02:09.18] |
From out the wildwood ringing |
| [02:13.63] |
A bullet pierced my true love's breast |
| [02:18.16] |
In life young spring so early |
| [02:22.90] |
And on my breast in blood she died |
| [02:27.68] |
While soft winds shook the barley |
| [03:09.19] |
I bore her to some mountain stream |
| [03:14.48] |
And many's the summer blossom |
| [03:18.72] |
I placed with branches soft and green |
| [03:23.88] |
About her gore-stained bosom |
| [03:28.24] |
I wept and kissed her clay-cold corpse |
| [03:32.92] |
Then rushed o'er vale and valley |
| [03:37.69] |
My vengeance on the foe to wreak |
| [03:42.59] |
While soft winds shook the barley |
| [03:47.26] |
Twas blood for blood without remorse |
| [03:51.70] |
I've taken at Oulart Hollow |
| [03:56.25] |
I've placed my true love's clay-cold corpse |
| [04:00.97] |
Where I full soon may follow |
| [04:05.31] |
Around her grave I wander drear |
| [04:09.82] |
Noon,night and morning early |
| [04:14.39] |
With breaking heart when e'er I hear |
| [04:18.89] |
The wind that shakes the barley |
