Tannahill Weavers - Gloomy Winter's Noo Awa'

Текст с Bandcamp’а: “We always like to include a Robert Tannahill song and this is certainly one of his most beautiful, having captured, in his words and melody, the romantic feeling of spring when a young man’s heart goes up and down like a venetian blind. Note dripping icicle noises and delicately coughing blackbirds. LYRICS: Gloomy winter’s noo awa’, saft the westlin’ breezes blaw Amang the birks o’ Stanley Shaw, the mavis sings fu’ cheery o Sweet the crawflower’s early bell, decks Glennifer’s dewy dell Bloomin’ like your bonnie sel’, my ain my darlin’ dearie o Come my lassie let us stray o’er Glennifer’s sunny brae And blythely spend the gowden day ’midst joys that never weary o Towerin’ o’er the Newton woods, lavrocks fan the snaw white clouds And siller saughs wi’ downy buds, adorn the banks sae briery o Round the sylvan fairy nooks, feathery brackens fringe the rocks And ’neath the brae the burnie jouks, and ilka thing is cheery o O trees my bud and birds may sing, flowers may bloom and verdure spring But joy tae me they cannae bring, unless wi’ you my dearie o from The Old Woman’s Dance, released January 1, 1978 Robert Tannahill arr Tannahill Weavers“
