She Moved To The Fair |  |
|
I My young love said to me"My mother won't mind." "My father won't slight you for your luck of kind." she stepped away from me and this she did say: "It will not be long love until our Wedding Day!"
II She stepped away from meshe moved through the fair so fondly, I watched her, move here and move there then she gaily went homeward, with one star awake as the swan in the evening moves over the lake.
III the people are sayingthat two were never wed if ony had a sorrow, never was it said. She smiled as she passed me with her goods and her gear and that was the last that I saw of my dear!
IV Last night, I lay sleepingmy dead love came in she came in so softly her feet made no din and she laid her hand on me to me she did say: "It will not be long love until our Wedding Day!"
(traditional) Ein Lied, das von einem Brautpaar handelt, das kurz vor der Hochzeit steht. Die junge Braut verschwindet plötzlich. Das Beachtenswerte ist, daß das Lied meist nur mit der ersten, zweiten und vierten Strophe gesungen wird, außerdem wird dann anstatt dead love in der vierten Strophe young love gesungen, dadurch ändert sich der gesamte Inhalt. |
