Airím - The Blackbird

The Blackbird
(Aus dem Album níl na lá)

i am a young sailor my story is sad
though once i was carefree and a brave sailor lad
i courted a lassie by night and by day
ah but now she has left me and sailed far away

oh if i was a blackbird could whistle and sing
i'd follow the vessel my true love sails in
and in the top rigging i would there build my nest
and i'd flutter my wings o'er her lily white breast

or if i was a scholar and could handle the pen
once secret love letter to my true love i'd send
and tell of my sorrow my grief and my pain
since she's gone and she's left me in yon flowery glen

oh if i was a blackbird...

i sailed o'er the ocean my fortune to seek
though i missed her caress and her kiss on my cheek
i returned and i told her my love was still warm
but she turned away lightly and great was her scorn

oh if i was a blackbird...

i offered to take her to donnybrook fair
and to buy her fine ribbons to tie up her hair
i offered to marry and to stay by her side
but she sails in the morning she sails wi' the tide

oh if i was a blackbird...

my parents they chide me they will not agree
saying that me and my false love married should never be
oh let them deprive me let or them do what they will
while there's breath in this body she's the one i love still

oh if i was a blackbird...
