Lyrics and translation Daryl Runswick, Traditional, The Cambridge Singers & John Rutter - She moved through the fair
My
young
love
said
to
me
Mon
jeune
amour
m'a
dit
My
mother
won't
mind
Ma
mère
ne
s'opposera
pas
And
my
father
won't
slight
you
Et
mon
père
ne
te
méprisera
pas
For
your
lack
of
kind
Pour
ton
manque
de
gentillesse
And
she
stepped
away
from
me
Et
elle
s'est
éloignée
de
moi
And
this
she
did
say
Et
elle
a
dit
ceci
It
will
not
be
long
love
Il
ne
faudra
pas
longtemps,
mon
amour
'Till
our
wedding
day
Jusqu'à
notre
jour
de
mariage
She
stepped
away
from
me
Elle
s'est
éloignée
de
moi
And
she
moved
through
the
fair
Et
elle
s'est
déplacée
à
travers
la
foire
And
fondly
I
watched
her
Et
je
l'ai
regardée
avec
affection
Move
here
and
move
there
Se
déplacer
ici
et
se
déplacer
là
And
when
she
went
homeward
Et
quand
elle
est
rentrée
With
one
star
awake
Avec
une
seule
étoile
éveillée
As
the
swan
in
the
evening
Comme
le
cygne
le
soir
Moves
over
the
lake
Se
déplace
sur
le
lac
Last
night
she
came
to
me
Hier
soir,
elle
est
venue
à
moi
And
she
came
softly
in
Et
elle
est
entrée
doucement
So
softly
she
came
that
Si
doucement
qu'elle
est
venue
que
Her
feet
made
no
din
Ses
pieds
n'ont
fait
aucun
bruit
And
she
laid
her
hand
on
me
Et
elle
a
posé
sa
main
sur
moi
And
this
she
did
say
Et
elle
a
dit
ceci
It
will
not
be
long
love
Il
ne
faudra
pas
longtemps,
mon
amour
'Till
our
wedding
day
Jusqu'à
notre
jour
de
mariage
It
will
not
be
long
love
Il
ne
faudra
pas
longtemps,
mon
amour
'Till
our
wedding
day
Jusqu'à
notre
jour
de
mariage
If
I
were
an
eagle
Si
j'étais
un
aigle
And
had
wings
to
fly
Et
que
j'avais
des
ailes
pour
voler
I
would
fly
to
my
love's
castle
Je
volerais
au
château
de
mon
amour
And
it's
there
I
would
lie
Et
c'est
là
que
je
me
coucherais
On
that
bed
of
green
ivy
Sur
ce
lit
de
lierre
vert
I
would
lay
myself
down
Je
me
coucherais
And
it's
with
my
two
fond
wings
Et
c'est
avec
mes
deux
ailes
bien-aimées
I
would
my
love
surround
Que
j'entourerais
mon
amour
And
it's
with
my
two
fond
wings
Et
c'est
avec
mes
deux
ailes
bien-aimées
I
would
my
love
surround
Que
j'entourerais
mon
amour
