loreena mckennitt - blacksmith
A blacksmith courted me
Nine months and better
He fairly won my heart
Wrote me a letter
With his hammer in his hand
He looked quite clever
And if I was with my love
I'd live forever.
But where is my love gone
With his cheeks like roses
And his good black billycock on
Decked round with primroses
I'm afraid the scorching sun
Will shine and burn his beauty
And if I was with my love
I'd do my duty.
Strange news is coming to town
Strange news is carried
Strange news flies up and down
That my love is married.
I wish them both much joy
Though they can't hear me
And may God reward him well
For the slighting of me.
Don't you remember when
You lay beside me
And you said you'd marry me
And not deny me
If I said I'd marry you
It was only for to try you
So bring your witness love
And I'll not deny you.
No witness have I none
Save God Almighty
And may he reward you well
For the slighting of me
Her lips grew pale and wan
It made her poor heart tremble
To think she loved a one
And he proved deceitful.

loreena mckennitt - bonny portmore
O Bonny Portmore, I am sorry to see
Such a woeful destruction of your ornament tree
For it stood on your shore for many's the long day
Till the long boats from Antrim came to float it away.
O Bonny Portmore, you shine where you stand
And the more I think on you the more I think long
If I had you now as I had once before
All the Lords in Old England would not purchase Portmore.
All the birds in the forest they bitterly weep
Saying, "Where shall we shelter or where shall we sleep?"
For the Oak and the Ash, they are all cutten down
And the walls of Bonny Portmore are all down to the ground.
O Bonny Portmore, you shine where you stand
And the more I think on you the more I think long
If I had you now as I had once before
All the Lords of Old England would not purchase Portmore.
loreena mckennitt - breaking the silence
I hear some distant drumbeat
A heartbeat pulsing low
Is it coming from within
A heartbeat I don't know
A troubled heart knows no peace
A dark and poisoned pool
Of liberty now lost
A pawn an oppressor's tool.
Oh my heart be strong
And guide when eyes grow dim
When ears grow deaf with empty words
When I know there's life within.
A gunfire shatters silence
Where birds once sweetly sang
A mother cradles a child now dead
Now death where life began
From the troubled heart of South Africa
Nicaragua's festering sore
The turmoil on the streets of China
Death crying out for more
A change is slow in coming
My eyes can scarcely see
The rays of hope come streaming
Through the smoke of apathy
But oh my heart be strong
And guide when eyes grow dim
When ears grow deaf with empty words
When I know there's life within.
May the spirit never die
Though a troubled heart feels pain
When the long winter is over
It will blossom once again.
loreena mckennitt - dante s prayer
Cuando la selva oscura cae ante mí
Y los caminos son de hierba
Y los fieles del orgullo dicen, no es así
Cultivo tus penas sobre piedra
No creí porque no pude ver
Y veniste a mí sin huellas
Y el alba perdida parecía
Y diste tu amor con las estrellas
Estribillo:
Lanza tu mirada al océano
Lanza tu alma hacia la mar
Cuando la noche es eterna
Me recordarás
Y la montaña se eleva ante mí
Junto al hondo pozo del deseo
De la fuente del perdón
Más allá del hielo y del fuego
(Estribillo)
Compartimos el camino
Qué frágil es el corazón
Dale a mis pies alas para volar
Y tocar el rostro de los astros
Dale vida a mi débil corazón
Levanta el mortal velo del miedo
Esperanzas rotas de lágrimas
Lanzadas en la ansia del fuego
(Estribillo)
Me recordarás...
loreena mckennitt - god rest ye merry gentlemen
God rest ye merry, gentlemen,
Let nothing you dismay
Remember Christ our Saviour
Was born on Christmas Day
To save us all from Satan's power
When we were gone astray.
O tidings of comfort and joy,
comfort and joy;
O tidings of comfort and joy!
From God our Heavenly Father
A blessed angel came
And unto certain shepherds
Brought tidings of the same
How in that Bethlehem was born
The son of God by name
"Fear not," then said the angel
"Let nothing you affright
This day is born a saviour
Of a pure virgin bright
To free all those who trust in him
From Satan's pow'r and might"
The shepherds at those tidings
Rejoiced much in mind,
And left their flocks a-feeding
In tempest, storm and wind
And went to Bethlehem straightaway
This blessed babe to find
But when to Bethlehem they came
Whereat this infant lay
They found him in a manger
Where oxen feed on hay
His mother Mary kneeling
Unto the Lord did pray
Now to the Lord sing praises
All you within this place
And with true love and brotherhood
Each other now embrace
This holy tide of Christmas
All others doth deface
loreena mckennitt - good king wenceslas
Good king wenceslas
Good king wenceslas looked out
On the feast of stephen
When the snow lay 'round about
Deep and crisp and even
Though the frost was cruel
When a poor man came in sight
Gath'ring winter fuel
"hither, page, and stand by me,
If thou know'st it, telling
Yonder peasant, who is he?
Where and what his dwelling?"
"sire, he lives a good league hence,
Underneath the mountain
By saint agnes' fountain."
"bring me flesh and bring me wine
Bring me pine-logs hither
Thou and i shall see him dine
When we bear them thither."
Page and monarch, forth they went
Forth they went together
Through the rude wind's wild lament
And the bitter weather.
"sire, the night is darker now
And the wind blows stronger
Fails my heart, i know not how
I can go no longer."
"mark my footsteps, good my page
Tread thou in them boldly
Thou shall find the winter's rage
Freeze thy blood less coldly."
In his master's step he trod
Where the snow lay dinted
Heat was in the very sod
Which the saint had printed
Therefore, christian men, be sure
Wealth or rank possessing
Ye, who now will bless the poor
Shall yourselves find blessing.
loreena mckennitt - greensleeves
Alas, my love you've done me wrong
To cast me out discourteously;
And I have loveth you so long
Delighting in your company.
Greensleeves was my delight
Greensleeves my heart of gold
Greensleeves was my heart of joy
And who, but my Lady Greensleeves.
I have been ready at your hand
To grant whatever thou would'st crave;
I have waged both life and land
Your love and goodwill for to have.
Greensleeves was my delight
Greensleeves my heart of gold
Greensleeves was my heart of joy
And who, but my Lady Greensleeves.
Thy petticoat of sendle white
With gold embroidered gorgeously;
Thy petticoat of silk and white
And these I bought gladly.
Greensleeves was my delight
Greensleeves was my heart of joy
Greensleeves was my heart of joy
And who, but my Lady Greensleeves.
loreena mckennitt - on a bright may morning
As I roved out on a bright May morning
To view the meadows and flowers gay
Whom should I spy but my own true lover
As she sat under yon willow tree
I took off my hat and I did salute her
I did salute her most courageously
When she turned around well the tears fell from her
Sayin? False young man, you have deluded me
A diamond ring I owned I gave you
A diamond ring to wear on your right hand
But the vows you made, love, you went and broke them
And married the lassie that had the land?
?If I?d married the lassie that had the land, my love,
It?s that I?ll rue till the day I die
When misfortune falls sure no man can shun it
I was blindfolded I?ll ne?er deny?
Now at nights when I got to my bed of slumber
My thoughts of my true love run in my mind
When I turned around to embrace my darling
Instead of gold sure it?s brass I find
And I wish the Queen would call home her army
From the West Indies, Amerikay and Spain
And every man to his wedded woman
In hopes that you and I will meet again.
loreena mckennitt - penelope s song
Now that the time has come
Soon gone is the day
There upon some distant shore
You?ll hear me say
Long as the day in the summer time
Deep as the wine dark sea
I?ll keep your heart with mine.
Till you come to me.
There like a bird I?d fly
High through the air
Reaching for the sun?s full rays
Only to find you there
And in the night when our dreams are still
Or when the wind calls free
I?ll keep your heart with mine
Till you come to me
Now that the time has come
Soon gone is the day
There upon some distant shore
You?ll hear me say
Long as the day in the summer time
Deep as the wine dark sea
I?ll keep your heart with mine.
Till you come to me

loreena mckennitt - the english ladye and the knight
It was an english ladye bright,
(the sun shines fair on carlisle wall,)
And she would marry a scottish knight,
For love will still be lord of all.
Blithely they saw the rising sun
When he shone fair on carlisle wall;
But they were sad ere day was done,
Though love was still the lord of all.
Her sire gave brooch and jewel fine,
Where the sun shines fair on carlisle wall;
Her brother gave but a flask of wine,
For ire that love was lord of all.
For she had lands both meadow and lea,
Where the sun shines fair on carlisle wall,
For he swore her death, ere he would see
A scottish knight the lord of all.
That wine she had not tasted well
(the sun shines fair on carlisle wall)
When dead, in her true love's arms, she fell,
For love was still the lord of all!
He pierced her brother to the heart,
Where the sun shines fair on carlisle wall ?
So perish all would true love part
That love may still be lord of all!
And then he took the cross divine,
Where the sun shines fair on carlisle wall,
And died for her sake in palestine;
So love was still the lord of all.
loreena mckennitt - the foggy dew
I was down the glen one Easter morn
To a city fair rode I.
There armed lines of marching men
In squadrons passed me by.
No pipe did hum, no battle drum did sound its loud tattoo.
But the Angelus Bells o'er the Liffey swells rang out in the foggy dew.
Right proudly high in Dublin town
Hung they out a flag of war.
'Twas better to die 'neath that Irish sky
than at Sulva or Sud el Bar.
And from the plains of Royal Meath
strong men came hurrying through
While Brittania's huns with their long range guns
sailed in through the foggy dew.
Their bravest fell and the requiem bell
rang mournfully and clear
For those who died that Eastertide in the
springing of the year.
While the world did gaze with deep amaze
at those fearless men but few.
Who bore the fight that freedom's light
Might shine through the foggy dew.
And back through the glen
I rode again.
And my heart with grief was sore.
For I parted then with valiant men
Whom I never shall see n'more.
But to and fro in my dreams I go
And I kneel and pray for you.
For slavery fled the glorious dead
when you fell in the foggy dew.
loreena mckennitt - the mummers dance
When in the springtime of the year
When the trees are crowned with leaves
When the ash and oak, and the birch and yew
Are dressed in ribbons fair
When the owls call the breathless moon
In the blue veil of the night
The shadows of the trees appear
Amidst the lantern lights
[chorus]
We've been rambling all the night
And sometime of this day
Now returning back again
We bring a garland gay
Who will go down to those shady groves
And summon the shadows there
And tie a ribbon on those sheltering arms
In the springtime of the year
The songs of birds seem to fill the wood
That when the fiddler plays
All their voices can be heard
Long past the woodland days
[chorus]
And so they linked their hands and danced
Round in circles and in rows
And so the journey of the night descends
When all the shades are gone
"A garland gay we bring you here
And at your door we stand
It is a sprout well budded out
The work of our lord's hand"
[chorus]
loreena mckennitt - the stolen child
Where dips the rocky highland
Of Slueth Wood in the lake,
There lies a leafy island
Where flapping herons wake
The drowsey water rats;
There we've hif our faery vats
Full of berries
And of reddest stolen cherries
Come away, O human child!
To the waters and the wild
With a faery, hand in hand,
For the world's more full of weeping than he can understand
Where the wave of moonlight glosses
The dim grey sands with light
Far off by furthest rosses
We foot it all the night,
Weaving olden dances
Mingling hands and mingling glances
'Till the moon has taken flight;
To and fro we leap
And chase the frothy bubbles,
While the world is full of troubles
And is anxious in its sleep.
Come away, O human child
To the waters and the wild
With a faery, hand in hand,
For the world is more full of weeping than he can understand
Where the wandering water gushes
From the hills above Glen-Car,
In pools amoung the rushes
That scarce could bathe a star,
We seek the sumblering trout
And wispering in their ears
Give them unquiet dreams;
Leaning softly out
From ferns that drop their tears
Over the young streams.
Come Away, O human child!
To the waters and the wild
With a faery, hand in hand
For the worlds more full of weeping than yee can understand
Away with us he's going ,
The solemn-eyed:
He'll hear no more the lowing
Of the calves on the warm hillside
Or the kettle on the hob
Sing peace into his breast,
Or see the brown mice bob
'Round and 'round the oatmeal chest.
For he comes, the human child,
To the waters and the wild
With a faery, hand in hand
For a world more full of weeping than he can understand
