Betrothed to a monarch who lived in the shadows, She waited in silence, away from the cold, For a dream written deep in the heart of the forest, A story of love that was yet to be told. Chorus Deirdre of Sorrows, of snow and of blood, You carried your heart through the fire and flood. Beyond every ocean, beyond every fear, Your melody echoes, forever and clear. Verse 2 Then came the young hunter with hair like the raven, With skin like the frost on a soft winter night. Naoise took her hand as the destiny called them, And Scotland embraced them in shadows and light. Far from the treacherous throne of the monarch, Beside the deep waters, they tasted the peace, Holding each other in wild glen and mountain, Wishing their journey would never decrease. Chorus Deirdre of Sorrows, of snow and of blood, You carried your heart through the fire and flood. Beyond every ocean, beyond every fear, Your melody echoes, forever and clear. Verse 3 But false words of peace brought an end to the dream, And red was the grass by the slow-flowing stream. When steel claimed her love and the quiet was broken, She gave back her breath to the soil and the air. And there on the hill where the lovers were sleeping, Two yew trees grew high through the mist and the rain, Intertwining their branches forever together, Untouched by the sorrow, untouched by the pain. Outro Deirdre and Naoise, entwined evermore... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- #IosVoice #LearnEnglishWithASong #BoostYourEnglish #BYEPodcast #LearnEnglish #EnglishThroughMusic #UKEnglish #CelticMythology #DeirdreOfTheSorrows
