Celtic Woman Presents: Órla Fallon – She Moved Thro’ The Fair

By  

She Moved Thro’ The Fair is a traditional Irish folk-song, the orgins and meaning of the song are unclear. It’s probably about a men who looses his fiancée, and she returns in his dreams… But it could also be that his fiancée left with another men and he joins the army.. Whatever, just enjoy :) My young love said to me, My mother won’t mind And my father won’t slight you For your lack of kind” And she stepped away from me And this she did say: It will not be long, love, Till our wedding day” As she stepped away from me And she moved through the fair And fondly I watched her Move here and move there And then she turned homeward With one star awake Like the swan in the evening Moves over the lake Last night she came to me, My dead love came in So softly she came That her feet made no din As she laid her hand on me And this she did say It will not be long, love, ‘Til our wedding day
