Loreena Mckennitt - The English Ladye And The Knight [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

It was an English ladye bright
(The sun shines fair on Carlisle wall,)
And she would marry a Scottish knight
For Love will still be lord of all

Blithely they saw the rising sun
When he shone fair on Carlisle wall;
But they were sad ere day was done
Though Love was still the lord of all

Her sire gave brooch and jewel fine
Where the sun shines fair on Carlisle wall;
Her brother gave but a flask of wine
For ire that Love was lord of all

For she had lands both meadow and lea
Where the sun shines fair on Carlisle wall
For he swore her death, ere he would see
A Scottish knight the lord of all

That wine she had not tasted well
(The sun shines fair on Carlisle wall)
When dead, in her true love's arms, she fell
For Love was still the lord of all!

He pierced her brother to the heart
Where the sun shines fair on Carlisle wall –
So perish all would true love part
That Love may still be lord of all!

And then he took the cross divine
Where the sun shines fair on Carlisle wall
And died for her sake in Palestine;
So Love was still the lord of all

Now all ye lovers, that faithful prove
(The sun shines fair on Carlisle wall)
Pray for their souls who died for love
For Love shall still be lord of all!
