Red Is The Rose
[Bearbeiten]Irish-Folk Text: trad. Melodie: Loch Lomond (schott. Trad.) bearbeitet von Mjchael
Die Melodie ist schottischen Ursprungs, doch der Text dieses irischen Folksongs ist weniger bedeutungsschwanger wie Loch Lomond.
- Deutung
Ein junger Mann schwärmt von seiner Heimat und schwört aus der Ferne seiner Verlobten, die er schmerzlich zurücklassen musste, ihr treu zu bleiben. Als Grund lässt sich ein Militärdienst erahnen, aber auch Wanderjahre wärend der Ausbildung ( Walz) wären denkbar.

[D]'Twas down by [Bm]Killarney's
[Em]green woods we [G]strayed[A]
The [D]moon and the [Bm]stars

on her [G]locks of golden [Bm]hair[A]
She [D]swore she'd be [Bm]my love

It's [D]not for the [Bm]parting

'Tis [G]all for the [F#m]loss
of my [G]bonnie Irish [Bm]lass [A]
That [D]my heart is [Bm]breaking
