By Chance It Was - Clannad (克兰纳德家族乐团)[00:00:00]

By chance it was I met my love[00:00:08]

It did me much surprise[00:00:12]

Down by a shady myrtle grove[00:00:16]

Just as the sun did rise[00:00:21]

The birds they sang right gloriously[00:00:25]

And pleasant was the air[00:00:29]

And there was non save she and I[00:00:33]

Among the flowers fair[00:00:38]

In dewy grass and green we walked[00:00:44]

She timid was and coy[00:00:49]

How can'st thou choose but pity me[00:00:53]

My pretty pearl my joy[00:00:57]

How comes it that thou stroll this way[00:01:01]

Sweet maiden tell me true[00:01:06]

Before bright phoebus' glittering ray[00:01:10]

Has supped the morning dew[00:01:14]

I go to tend the flocks I love[00:01:21]

The ewes and tender lambs[00:01:25]

That pasture by the myrtle grove[00:01:29]

That gambol by their dams[00:01:33]

There I enjoy a pure content[00:01:37]

At dawning of the day[00:01:41]

Then hand in hand we lovers went[00:01:46]

To see the flock at play[00:01:50]

And as we wended down the road[00:03:10]

I said to her sweet maid[00:03:14]

Three years I in my place abode[00:03:18]

And three more must be stayed[00:03:23]

The three that I am bound so fast[00:03:27]

O fairest wait for me[00:03:31]

And when the weary years are past[00:03:35]

Then wedded we will be[00:03:40]

Three years are long three times too long[00:03:46]

Too lengthy the delay[00:03:50]

And then I answered in my song[00:03:54]

Hope wastes them quick away[00:03:59]

Where love is fervent fain and fast[00:04:03]

And knoweth not decay[00:04:07]

There nimbly fleet the seasons past[00:04:11]

Accounted as one day[00:04:16]
