A great lord came walking through the forest |
| [00:16.767] |
one morning with a weapon in his hand; |
| [00:22.839] |
Rich was his castle,he lacked for nothing, |
| [00:27.630] |
but killing was his plan; |
| [00:32.121] |
When a white bird flew by she fell from the sky, |
| [00:36.947] |
Nothing was found,only blood on the ground,she was gone; |
| [00:50.09] |
Cursing his fortune, |
| [00:52.238] |
he turned to the forest to kill once again, |
| [00:59.201] |
And standing before him was a lovely young woman |
| [01:03.427] |
with her hand hung in pain, |
| [01:08.454] |
When he saw her his eyes were filled with desire, |
| [01:13.278] |
He said "I must have her,she must be mine, |
| [01:20.311] |
She will be mine..." |
| [01:26.387] |
He offered her silver,he offered her gold, |
| [01:30.800] |
but she threw it on the ground, |
| [01:35.751] |
He fell to his knees and he begged her, |
| [01:39.145] |
"Oh please come with me, |
| [01:41.262] |
what you wish will be found;" |
| [01:44.702] |
she said,"Sire,I'll go if you'll put up your bow, |
| [01:49.662] |
and spare these creatures,leave them in peace, |
| [01:57.88] |
You have no need..." |
| [02:02.654] |
But her words were lost in the wind |
| [02:08.80] |
His eyes were fixed on a queen |
| [02:13.331] |
And all he saw was a woman |
| [02:18.364] |
And all she was,was a dream... |
| [02:23.382] |
Oh oh...And all he saw was a woman,and all she was, |
| [02:39.767] |
Was a dream... |
| [02:44.971] |
He took her and bound her with ropes tied around her |
| [02:49.243] |
to his castle he did ride; |
| [02:53.829] |
in the wood was a bower where stood an an old tower |
| [02:58.589] |
and he threw her deep inside; |
| [03:02.843] |
then the birds left the sky and a terrible cry, |
| [03:07.749] |
brought thunder and lightning,rain falling down, |
| [03:15.25] |
Tears on the ground... |
| [03:21.256] |
All through the days on her face he would gaze, |
| [03:24.723] |
for she was lovely as the spring;no words would she speaketh but "Leave them in peace", |
| [03:34.196] |
and some sad lament she would sing, |
| [03:38.813] |
Oh one day by the door,through the window he saw |
| [03:43.930] |
A single white feather lying on the floor. |
| [03:50.837] |
She was there no more... |
| [03:56.128] |
Now that great lord is dying, |
| [03:59.306] |
his cold heart is crying for the love of a girl; |
| [04:06.458] |
for many an hour he has wept on the Tower |
| [04:10.677] |
for she meant more than the world; |
| [04:15.646] |
and once in the sky,a white bird flew by, |
| [04:20.509] |
he lifted his hands,he cried out in pain |
| [04:27.937] |
"Come back again..." |
| [04:33.930] |
But his words were lost in the wind, |
| [04:38.830] |
His castle was built upon sand, |
| [04:44.122] |
All he saw was her memory, |
| [04:48.637] |
And all he yearns is her hand... |
| [04:53.442] |
Ah ah..All he has,is the memory, |
| [05:08.562] |
And all he yearns is her hand. |
