《The Verdant Braces of Screen》歌词

[00:00:04] The Verdant Braes Of Screen-Altan

[00:00:07] As I roved out one evening fair

[00:00:14] By the verdant braes of Screen

[00:00:20] I set my back to a hawthorn tree

[00:00:28] To view the sun in the west country

[00:00:35] And the dew on the forest green

[00:00:46] A lad I spied by Abhann's side

[00:00:53] And a maiden by his knee

[00:00:59] And he was as dark as the very brown wood

[00:01:07] And she all whey and wan to see

[00:01:14] All whey and wan was she

[00:01:25] 'Oh, sit you down on the grass,' he said

[00:01:31] 'On the dewy grass so green

[00:01:38] For the wee birds all have come and gone

[00:01:45] Since I, my true love, have seen,' he said

[00:01:52] 'Since I, my true love, have seen'

[00:02:03] 'Then I'll not sit on the grass,' she said

[00:02:10] 'Nor be a love of thine

[00:02:17] For I hear you love a Connaught maid

[00:02:24] And your heart's no longer mine,' she said

[00:02:31] 'And your heart's no longer mine'

[00:02:42] 'And I will climb a high, high tree

[00:02:49] And I'll rob a wild bird's nest

[00:02:55] And back I'll bring whatever I do find

[00:03:03] To the arms that I love best,' she said

[00:03:10] 'To the arms that I love best'
