Testo By Chance It Was - Clannad
Testo della canzone By Chance It Was (Clannad), tratta dall'album Clannad 2
By chance it was I met my love
It did me much surprise
Down by a shady myrtle grove
Just as the sun did rise
The birds they sang right gloriously
And pleasant was the air
And there was none save she and I
Among the flowers fair
In dewy grass and green we walked
She timid was and coy
How canst thou choose but pity me
My pretty pearl, my joy?
How comes it that thou stole this way
Sweet maiden tell me true
Before bright Phoebus' glittering ray
As soft the morning dew?
I go to tend the flocks I love
The ewes and tender lambs
That pasture by the myrtle grove
That gambol by the dams
There I enjoy a pure content
At dawning of the day
Then hand in hand we lovers went
To see the flock at play
And as we went adown the road
I said to her sweet maid
Three years I in my place abode
And three more must be stayed
The three that I am bound so fast
Oh fairest wait for me
And when the weary years are past
Then wedded we will be
Three years are long, three times too long
Too lengthy the delay
And then I answered in my song
Oh, waste them quick away
Where love is fervent, vain and fast
And knoweth not decay
Then nimbly fleet the seasons past
Are counted as one day
