The Mummers' Dance (Loreena McKennitt) |
| [00:38.76] |
|
| [01:10.52] |
When in the springtime of the year |
| [01:14.48] |
When the trees are crowned with leaves |
| [01:18.62] |
When the ash and oak, and the birch and yew |
| [01:22.67] |
Are dressed in ribbons fair |
| [01:25.80] |
|
| [01:26.67] |
When owls call the breathless moon |
| [01:30.50] |
In the blue veil of the night |
| [01:34.67] |
The shadows of the trees appear |
| [01:38.52] |
Amidst the lantern light |
| [01:42.39] |
|
| [01:42.88] |
We've been rambling all the night |
| [01:46.71] |
And some time of this day |
| [01:50.89] |
Now returning back again |
| [01:54.50] |
We bring a garland gay |
| [01:59.08] |
|
| [02:14.79] |
Who will go down to those shady groves |
| [02:18.62] |
And summon the shadows there |
| [02:22.63] |
And tie a ribbon on those sheltering arms |
| [02:26.29] |
In the springtime of the year |
| [02:29.51] |
|
| [02:30.45] |
The songs of birds seem to fill the wood |
| [02:34.16] |
That when the fiddler plays |
| [02:38.50] |
All their voices can be heard |
| [02:42.11] |
Long past their woodland days |
| [02:45.70] |
|
| [02:46.68] |
We've been rambling all the night |
| [02:50.52] |
And some time of this day |
| [02:54.63] |
Now returning back again |
| [02:58.23] |
We bring a garland gay |
| [03:02.77] |
|
| [03:50.36] |
And so they linked their hands and danced |
| [03:54.26] |
Round in circles and in rows |
| [03:58.41] |
And so the journey of the night descends |
| [04:02.19] |
When all the shades are gone |
| [04:05.30] |
|
| [04:06.50] |
"A garland gay we bring you here |
| [04:10.21] |
And at your door we stand |
| [04:14.17] |
It is a sprout well budded out |
| [04:18.28] |
The work of our Lord's hand" |
| [04:21.21] |
|
| [04:22.29] |
We've been rambling all the night |
| [04:26.09] |
And some time of this day |
| [04:29.97] |
Now returning back again |
| [04:33.65] |
We bring a garland gay |
| [04:37.50] |
|
| [04:38.20] |
We've been rambling all the night |
| [04:41.98] |
And some time of this day |
| [04:45.96] |
Now returning back again |
| [04:49.78] |
We bring a garland gay |
| [04:57.68] |
|
