Amazing grace
Amazing grace, (how sweet the sound)
That saved a wretch like me!
I once was lost, but now am found
Was blind, but now I see.'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear,
And grace my fears relieved;
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed!Through many dangers, toils and snares,
I have already come;
'Tis grace has brought me safe thus far,
And grace will lead me home.The Lord has promised good to me,
His word my hope secures;
He will my shield and portion be,
As long as life endures.John NewtonPlay the tune
"The last thing on my mind"
It's a lesson too late for the learning Made of sand, made of sand In the wink of an eye my soul is turning In your hand, in your hand. Are you going away with no word of farewell? Will there be not a trace left behind? I could have loved you better Didn't mean to be unkind But you know that was the last thing on my mind. You had reasons of plenty for going This I know, this I know. For the weeds have been steadily growing Please don't go, please don't go. (Chorus) As we walk, my thoughts are a tumbling Round and round, round and round And the subway beneath my feet is a rumbling Underground, underground (Chorus) As I lie in my bed in the morning Without you, without you. Every song in my breast dies of boring Without you, without you. Are you going away with no word of farewell? Will there be not a trace left behind? I could have loved you better Didn't mean to be unkind But you know that was the last thing on my mind.
Tom PaxtonPlay the tune
"Det sidste jeg kunne finde på"
Vi har kysset, vi har grint, vi har længtes alt for lidt, alt for lidt. Vi har grædt, vi har råbt, vi har skændtes alt for tit, alt for tit.
- Nu går du din vej uden et ord til farvel,
- der var mange ting vi aldrig fik sagt;
- Men tro mig jeg har virkelig
- aldrig villet gøre dig fortræd
- Det var da nok det sidste jeg kunne finde på.
Nu forstår jeg hvor meget jeg holdt af dig, men det er for sent, alt for sent; Og nu forstår jeg hvorfor du går fra mig, men for sent, alt for sent.
- Nu går du din vej uden et ord til farvel,
- der var mange ting vi aldrig fik sagt;
- Men tro mig jeg har virkelig
- aldrig villet gøre dig fortræd
- Det var da nok det sidste jeg kunne finde på.

"The Water is Wide"
The water is wide I can not get o'er
Neither have I wings to fly
Give me a boat that can carry two
And both shall cross my true love and II leaned my back against an oak
Thinking it was a mighty tree
But first it bent and then it broke
So did my love prove false to meI put my hand in some soft bush
Thinking the sweetest flower to find
I pricked my finger to the bone
And left the sweetest flower behindOh' love is handsome and love is kind
Gay as jewel when it is new
But love grows old and waxes cold
And fades away like morning dewThe water is wide I can not get o'er
Neither have I wings to fly
Give me a boat that can carry two
And both shall cross my true love and IPlay the tune
The song is part of a long Scots ballad: "Lord Jamie Douglas"
"The west coast of Clare"
Sorrow and sadness, bitterness, grief Memories I have of you, won't leave me in peace My mind was running back to the west coast of Clare Thinking of you and the times we had there
I walked a Spanish point, I knew I would find you there I stood on the white strand and you were everywhere Vivid memories faint, but the mood still remains I wish I could go back and be with you again
In Miltown there is a pub, its there that I sat down I see you everywhere, your face is all around The searched but times past contain such sweet pain I will banish lonesome thoughts, but they return again
I walk along the shore, the rain in my face My mind is numb with grief, of you there is no trace I will think of this again, when in far of lands I roam Walking with you by this cold Atlantic foam
Sorrow and sadness, bitterness, grief Memories I have of you, won't leave me in peace My mind is running back to the west coast of Clare Thinking of you and the times we had there From the Planxty Album: "Planxty" Play the tune
"Never be the sun" by Donagh Long
You will never be the sun… charming in the sky
and you won't be the moon above us… on a moonlit night
and you won't be the stars in heaven… although they burn so bright,
but even on the deepest ocean… you will be the light.You may not always shine as you go… barefoot over stone.
You might be for long together… or you might walk alone
and you won't find that love comes easy… but that love is always right,
so even when the dark cloud gather… you will be the light.And if you loose a part inside… when love turns wronged on you,
leaving the path behind is knowing you do… like you always do.
Holding you blind…
Keeping you true…You will never be the sun… charming in the sky
and you won't be the moon above us… on a moonlit night
and you won't be the stars in heaven… although they burn so bright,
but even on the deepest ocean… you will be the light.Sung by Dolores Keane with Emmylou Harris on the album: "Solid ground"
De nådige søstre.
De nådige søstre, de findes, de er ikke rejst("Sisters of mercy" by Leonard Cohen)
de vented på mig, da jeg syntes min verden var knust
de bragte mig støtte og senere gav de mig trøst
om du kunne møde dem, du! som behøver det mest.Ja du, der forlader alt det, som du ikke forstår
til sidst er det sindet, men først må du skilles fra mor
jeg var, hvor du er og jeg ved, hvor pinen er stor
når din tro ikke holder og ensomhed gæster dit bord.De lagde sig hos mig og jeg fortalte dem alt
de kyssed mit øje, jeg mærkede duggen, der faldt
når dit liv er et blad, der falder og glemmes af folk
vil de holde dig fast med fin kærlighed, grøn, som en stilk.De sov, da jeg gik. jeg håber du møder dem snart
tænd ikke for lyset, for månen lyser så klart
og jeg blir ikke skinsyg fordi i går sammen i seng
vi gjorde det ikke, men det gør nu slet ingen ting.Gendigtet på dansk af S.V.Nielsen
"The Blacksmith"
A blacksmith courted me, nine months or better
He bravely won my heart, wrote me a letter
With his hammer in his hand, he looked quite clever
And if I was with my love, I'd live foreverBut where is my love gone, with his cheeks like roses
And his good black billycock on, all crowned with primroses
I'm afraid the scorching sun, will shine and burn his beauty
And if I was with my love, I'd do my dutyStrange news has come to town, strange news is carried
Strange news flies up and down, that my love he's married
I wish them both much joy though they can't hear me
And may God reward them well for the slighting of meDon't you remember well, when you lay beside me
And you said you'd marry me and not deny me
If I said I'd marry you, it was only for to try you
But bring your witness love, and I'll not deny youOh witness have I none, save God almighty
And may he reward you well, for the slighting of me
Her lips grew pale and wan, it made her poor heart tremble
To think she loved a one and he proved deceitfulPlay the tune
Blomsterne blomstrer op.
Der går en edderkop.
Fuglene flyver i flok
når de er mange nok.
Lykken er ikke det værste man har
og om lidt er kaffen klar.
Græsset er grønt og vådt.
Bierne har det godt.
Lungerne fråser i luft.
Åh, hvilken snerleduft!
Glæden er ikke det værste man har
og om lidt er kaffen klar.
Sang under brusebad.
Hun må vist være glad.
Himlen er temmelig blå.
Det kan jeg godt forstå.
Lykken er ikke det værste man har
og om lidt er kaffen klar.
Nu kommer Nina ud,
nøgen med fugtig hud,
kysser mig kærligt og går
ind for at re' sit hår.
Livet er ikke det værste man har
og om lidt er kaffen klar.
