"She Moved Through the Fair" - by Lothlorien My love said to me 'My mother won't mind  and my father won't slight you for your lack of kind'  Then she stepped away from me and this she did say  'It will not be long love, 'til our wedding day'  She stepped away from me and she moved through the fair  and fondly I watched her move here and move there  She went her way homewards with one star awake  as the swans in the evening move over the lake  The people were saying ... no two e'er were wed  but one has a sorrow that never was said  And she smiled as she passed me with her goods and her gear  and that was the last that I saw of my dear  I dreamt it last night - that my true love came in  So softly she entered her feet made no din  She came close beside me and this she did say  'It will not be long love, 'til our wedding day...' "Siúil a Rúin" - by Lothlorien                         I would I were on yonder hill, it's there I'd sit and cry my fill  And every tear would turn a mill ... is go dté tú mo mhuirnín slán  I'll sell my rock, I'll sell my reel, I'll sell my only spinning wheel  To buy my love a sword of steel ... is go dté tú mo mhuirnín slán  Siúil, siúil, siúil a rúin ... siúil go sochair agus siúil go ciúin  Siúil go doras agus ealaigh liom ... is go dté tú mo mhuirnín slán  I'll dye my petticoats, I'll dye them red, and around the world I'll beg my bread  Until my parents should wish me dead ... is go dté tú mo mhuirnín slán  I wish, I wish, I wish in vain - I wish I had my heart again  And vainly think I'd not complain ... is go dté tú mo mhuirnín slán  And now my love has gone to France to try his fortune to advance  If he e'er comes back 'tis but a chance ... is go dté tú mo mhuirnín slán  Siúil, siúil, siúil a rúin ... siúil go sochair agus siúil go ciúin  Siúil go doras agus ealaigh liom ... is go dté tú mo mhuirnín slán  (Go, go, go my love ... go calmly and silently Go to the door and escape with me ... and may you go safely my darling) Celtic Home
