♫ The water is wide (Karla Bonoff, 1979)  から

Karla Bonoffさんが歌う『The Water is WIde』です。

17世紀のスコットランドの民謡が、いまもなお多くのアーティストにカバーされています。

河は広い。飛んで渡る翼もない。
だから、ふたりで漕いでいくボートをください。

 

Lyrics;

The water is wide
I can’t cross over
and neither have I
the wings to fly

Give me a boat
that can carry two
and we both shall row
my love and I

Oh, love is gentle
and love is kind
The sweetes flower
when first it’s new
But love grows old
and waxes cold
and fades away
like morning dew

There is a ship and
she sails the sea
she’s loaded deep
as deep can be
But not as deep as the love
I’m in
I know not how
I sink or swim

The water is wide
I can’t cross over
and neither have I
wings to fly

Give me a boat
that can carry two
And both shall row
my love and I

And both shall row
my love and I
