SING AND PLAY - WEEK #134 // Faerie Queen from Cahersiveen // original song by @dandelion

in #music4 years ago (edited)

*EDIT: I couldn't find the rules information exactly about Sing and Play, so I'm copying what I can from the most recent posts I've seen. Is Week 134 the latest one?

EDIT 2: I found the answer, but looks like I just missed it! Will be on time next round :)

Howdy folks!

I was asleep from Steemit for about 2 years. I thought it was dying, but on return I found this beautiful music sharing community! I'm inspired to share with you my very first live original music video, Faerie Queen from Cahersiveen. I recorded it in 2015 in Ireland at the beginning of my travels.

I will be sharing more information about my travels, as well as many more videos I've worked on since then. This is an introduction :)

Lyrics:

Faerie Queen from Cahersiveen

I met a young lady from Cahersiveen.
Her eyes were as blue as the sky in the spring.
Her hair it was curled and her skin shone like pearl.
Tis my faerie queen from Cahersiveen.

She showed me the ring forts in County Kerry.
We climbed Cnoc na dTobar and stared at the sea.
The fog rolling in made a perilous descent
With my faerie queen from Cahersiveen.

"Come here to me king and I'll look after you",
She beckons me with her eyes mountain spring blue.
Her face framed so fair by her bracken brown hair.
O my faerie queen from Cahersiveen.

Her cheeks they are rosie as fox gloves in bloom.
The sun of my smile lights her love like the moon.
She introduced me to the old hawthorn tree.
She's my faerie queen from Cahersiveen.

I've known other faerie queens 'cross this world wide,
From mountains and valleys to island sea sides.
And there's none but one I would choose for my bride,
that's my faerie queen from Cahersiveen.
