The Tannahill Weavers - A Night Visitor's Song Тексты

I must away love, I can no longer tarry
The morning tempest I have to cross
I will be guided without a star love
Into the arms I love the best

I walked up tae her bedroom windae
I leant my back there against a stane
I whispered softly intae her windae
"My darling lassie, dae ye lie alane?"

She raised her head from her snowy pillow
And with her arms raised across her breast
Said "Who is this at my bedroom windae
"Disturbing me at my long night's rest?"

I said "My true love, its you own true lover
"Open the door now and let me in
"For I have come on a long, long journey
"And I am drenched unto the skin"

She opened the door then without a murmur
Opened the door then and let me in
We gently kissed and embraced each other
And in the morning we lay as yin

The day was dawning, the cocks were crawing
The birds were whistling in every tree
Farewell my true love, for I must leave ye
For now the long night has turned to day

I must away love, I can no longer tarry
The morning tempest I have to cross
I will be guided without a star love
Intae the arms I love the best
