I really love this song, the music, Loreena's beautiful voice, but... I'm french and I don't understand the lyrics.. And I haven't see any "real" translation on the web. :(
Does anyone know what that last line means: "When broken shells make Christmas bells we might well get married" --Is the speaker being sarcastic and saying he won't return? Or does that mean he'll come back at Christmas?
@GeroVirtus Hi, I just wanted to try to answer that for you. The last line I think means he is never coming back. This was a one night stand...Still great song huh? Enjoy thanks for the question have many more great listening experiences.
sadly, the only songs i like on this album are As I Roved Out and The Star of The County Down. 2 incredible songs out of a whole album instead of a bunch of okay songs is good enough for me
@HawkProductions44 i know exactly what your talking about i used to stay late at night till morning listening to lorreena and drawing , the most satisfying thing i ever did :)
I CANNOT STOP LISTENING TO THIS!! It's gonna drive people near me crazy but WHATEVER!
...Love you Loreena McKennitt <3

Ha, I love this. Surprisingly humorous. Don't hear much of that in her music. XD

I'm pretty sure it's sarcasm! :D The whole song is a rather cheeky telling of a one night stand after all! :D

Her voice has got something extraordinary. She can let you reach heaven just by singing, 'cause she does this with her soul, and then with her voice.
I can't wait to see her and to listen to her in April, in Rome. ♥

@schwarzfalk Loreena does mostly Celtic music, and this is in fact an Irish tune. :)

The lyrics are not the original ones, are these her alterations or simply a different version of As I Roved Out?
