Chris De Burgh - The Nightingale Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • Love burns in a young man's heart,
  • He would give her the moon and the stars,
  • And all the Treasures of the Pharaohs for a moment in her arms;
  • To the Ball with him she will go, if her brings a red, red rose,
  • But there is only a rose of white in his garden green;
  • And calling up to the sky, the birds heard his lonely cry;
  • "Sing for her sweet Nightingale, tell her of my love,
  • Bring for her sweet Nightingale a red, red rose of love;
  • Said the tree to the Nightingale,
  • "Upon this thorn you must impale your heart,
  • And then the blood will turn this white rose red;"
  • All night, the little bird sang,
  • But in the morning she was gone,
  • And beside her on the ground lay a red, red rose;
  • When the boy found it there, joy came from his despair;
  • "You sang for her, sweet Nightingale,
  • You told her of my love,
  • You bring for her, sweet Nightingale,
  • This red, red rose of love;"
  • So he brought her the beautiful rose,
  • "To the Ball with me you will go,"
  • "But no," she said, "I have jewels instead,
  • Another has won my heart, and from you,
  • Now I must part, so take your foolish rose and go!"
  • Sing for her sweet Nightingale,
  • Sing from Heaven above,
  • Bring for her sweet Nightingale,
  • The wisdom that is love, the wisdom that is love.
