Come Back to Erin
Music & Text: Claribel (Mrs. Charles Barnard)
1.
Come back to Erin, Mavourneen, Mavourneen;
Come back, Aroon, to the land of my birth;
Come with the shamrocks and spring-time, Mavourneen,
And its Kilarney shall ring with our mirth.
Sure, when we lent ye to beautiful England,
Little we thought of the lone winter days,
Little we thought of the hush of the star shine
Over the mountain, the bluffs and the brays!
[REFRAIN]
Then come back to Erin, Mavourneen, Mavourneen,
Come back again to the land of thy birth.
Come back to Erin, Mavourneen, Mavourneen,
And its Kilarney shall ring with our mirth.
2.
Over the green sea, Mavourneen, Mavourneen,
Long shone the while sail that bore thee away;
Riding the white waves that fair Summer mornin',
Just like a Mayflow'r afloat on the bay.
O, but my heart sank when clouds came between us,
Like a grey curtain the rain falling down,
Hid from my sad eyes the path o'er the ocean,
Far, far away where my Colleen had flown.
3.
O may the angels, O wakin' and sleepin',
Watch o'er my bird in the land far away;
And it's my pray'rs will consign to their keepin'
Care o' my jewel by night and by day.
When by the fireside I watch the bright embers,
Then all my heart flies to England and thee,
Cravin' to know if my darlin' remembers,
Or if her thoughts may be crossin' to me.
American Tenor, Robert White
Come back to Erin - Robert White
Traditional Irish tune으로 Ireland의 추운 겨울을 지내는 저자는
영국으로 건너간 사랑하는 이들을 그리워하며 봄에는 고향 Erin으로
돌아오기를 바라는 맘을 노래하고 있다.
"When I watch the bright embers by the fireside, all my heart flies to you!!!"
