《By Chance It Was》歌词

[00:00:00] By Chance It Was - Clannad (克兰纳德家族乐团)

[00:00:08] By chance it was I met my love

[00:00:12] It did me much surprise

[00:00:16] Down by a shady myrtle grove

[00:00:21] Just as the sun did rise

[00:00:25] The birds they sang right gloriously

[00:00:29] And pleasant was the air

[00:00:33] And there was non save she and I

[00:00:38] Among the flowers fair

[00:00:44] In dewy grass and green we walked

[00:00:49] She timid was and coy

[00:00:53] How can'st thou choose but pity me

[00:00:57] My pretty pearl my joy

[00:01:01] How comes it that thou stroll this way

[00:01:06] Sweet maiden tell me true

[00:01:10] Before bright phoebus' glittering ray

[00:01:14] Has supped the morning dew

[00:01:21] I go to tend the flocks I love

[00:01:25] The ewes and tender lambs

[00:01:29] That pasture by the myrtle grove

[00:01:33] That gambol by their dams

[00:01:37] There I enjoy a pure content

[00:01:41] At dawning of the day

[00:01:46] Then hand in hand we lovers went

[00:01:50] To see the flock at play

[00:03:10] And as we wended down the road

[00:03:14] I said to her sweet maid

[00:03:18] Three years I in my place abode

[00:03:23] And three more must be stayed

[00:03:27] The three that I am bound so fast

[00:03:31] O fairest wait for me

[00:03:35] And when the weary years are past

[00:03:40] Then wedded we will be

[00:03:46] Three years are long three times too long

[00:03:50] Too lengthy the delay

[00:03:54] And then I answered in my song

[00:03:59] Hope wastes them quick away

[00:04:03] Where love is fervent fain and fast

[00:04:07] And knoweth not decay

[00:04:11] There nimbly fleet the seasons past

[00:04:16] Accounted as one day
