innamorare

ballad

"My love, my love, where are ye going?
My love, my love, don't go please stay."
"I'm taking a journey to places unforetold
And bringing back with me silks and fine gold."

"My love, my love, for where are ye bound?
My love, my love, don't go, please stay."
"I'm sailing for the Orient, I'm leaving at dawning,
please bid me farewell in the morning."

"My love, my love, why have you left me?
My love, my love, don't go, please stay."
The morning was joyful upon his returning,
But until then the days seemed wet and gray.

"My love, my love, you've been gone since last May.
My love, my love, don't go, please stay."
"I have brought you gifts of jewels and fine gold
And the rarest of all, love, that cannot be sold."
