Standing Stones - Loreena McKennitt (罗琳娜·麦肯尼特)[00:00:00]

Music by Loreena McKennitt[00:00:38]

Lyrics traditional, arr. by Loreena McKennitt[00:00:43]

In one of these lonely Orkney Isles[00:00:53]

There dwelled a maiden fair.[00:00:56]

Her cheeks were red, her eyes were blue[00:01:00]

She had yellow curling hair.[00:01:03]

Which caught the eye and then the heart[00:01:07]

Of one who could never be[00:01:11]

A lover of so true a maid[00:01:14]

Or fair a form as she.[00:01:18]

Across the lake in Sandwick[00:01:23]

Dwelled a youth she held most true,[00:01:26]

And ever since her infancy[00:01:30]

He had watched those eyes so blue.[00:01:34]

The land runs out into the sea -[00:01:37]

It's a narrow neck of land -[00:01:41]

Where weird and grim the Standing Stones[00:01:44]

In a circle where they stand.[00:01:48]

One bonny moonlight Christmas Eve[00:02:08]

They met at that sad place[00:02:12]

With her heart in glee and the beams of love[00:02:15]

Were shining on her face.[00:02:19]

When her lover came and he grasped her hand[00:02:22]

What loving words they said.[00:02:26]

They talked of future's happy days[00:02:29]

As through the stones they strayed.[00:02:33]

They walked toward the lovers' stone[00:02:38]

And through it passed their hands.[00:02:42]

They plighted there a constant troth[00:02:45]

Sealed by love's steadfast bands.[00:02:49]

He kissed his maid and then he watched her[00:02:52]

That lonely bridge go o'er.[00:02:56]

For little, little did he think[00:02:59]

He wouldn't see his darling more.[00:03:03]

Standing Stones of the Orkney Isles[00:03:08]

Gazing out to sea[00:03:12]

Standing Stones of the Orkney Isles[00:03:15]

Bring my love to me.[00:03:19]

He turned his face toward his home[00:03:37]

That home he did never see.[00:03:41]

And you shall have the story[00:03:44]

As it was told to me.[00:03:48]

When a form upon him sprang[00:03:51]

With a dagger gleaming bright,[00:03:54]

It pierced his heart and dying screams[00:03:58]

Disturbed the silent night.[00:04:01]

This maid had nearly reached her home[00:04:41]

When she was startled by a cry.[00:04:45]

She turned to look around her[00:04:48]

And her love was standing by,[00:04:51]

His hand was pointing to the stars[00:04:55]

His eyes glazed at the light,[00:04:58]

And with a smiling countenance[00:05:02]

He vanished from her sight.[00:05:05]

She quickly turned and home she ran[00:05:10]

Not a word of this was said,[00:05:14]

For well she knew at seeing his form[00:05:17]

That her faithful love was dead.[00:05:21]

And from that day she pined away,[00:05:24]

Not a smile seen on her face.[00:05:28]

With outstretched arms she went to meet him[00:05:31]

In a brighter place.[00:05:35]

Standing Stones of the Orkney Isles[00:05:40]

Gazing out to sea[00:05:43]

Standing Stones of the Orkney Isles[00:05:47]

Bring my love to me.[00:05:50]

Standing Stones of the Orkney Isles[00:05:53]

Gazing out to sea[00:05:57]

Standing Stones of the Orkney Isles[00:06:00]

Bring my love to me.[00:06:03]

END[00:06:53]
