The Bothy Band [Irish Folk 1976/Lyrics] Tiocfaidh An Samhradh
- 5 years ago
From: Old Hag You Have Killed Me
Lyrics (translation)
A very rough translation would run:
(From the cver booklet)
(Summer Will Come)
Summer will come, grass will grow, Green leaves will sprout on the tree-tops
My true love will come at the break of day
And strike up a tune out of loneliness for me.
I called last night at the house yonder
I called again[to see] if my true love was there,
Her father said she wasn't around
That she doped last night with the brown¬ haired boy.
A curse on the sea because it's so vast,
members:
Donal Lunny — bodhrán, bouzouki, guitar, vocals
Matt Molloy — flute, whistle
Mícheál Ó Domhnaill — guitar, vocals
Kevin Burke — fiddle
Paddy Keenan — uilleann pipes, whistle, low whistle
Tríona Ni Dhomhnaill — clavinet, harmonium, female vocals
