One Night with the Fairies... Fifty Years Gone | Scottish Folk Music

The Mist of Fairy Glen Verse 1 She wandered where the white fog curled, Beyond the edges of the waking world. A lonely flute began to play, Its fragile notes drew her away. The heather bowed beneath her feet, As hidden paths and dreams would meet. No fear remained within her breast, The mist itself became her guest. Chorus (Scottish Gaelic) Thig còmhla rium tron cheò geal bàn, Far dannsaidh sinn gu madainn chràn. Cha stad an t-àm, cha tionndaidh grèin, 'S ann leis na sìthichean mo chridhe fhèin. (Come with me through the pale white mist, Where we'll dance until the fading dawn. Time will never halt nor turn the sun, For my heart belongs to the fairies.) Verse 2 Their lanterns glowed with amber fire, Their voices formed a secret choir. They crowned her hair with woven leaves, And dressed her dreams in emerald sleeves. They laughed beneath the ancient trees, With melodies upon the breeze. One single night of joy untold, Worth more than mountains made of gold. Chorus Thig còmhla rium tron cheò geal bàn, Far dannsaidh sinn gu madainn chràn. Cha stad an t-àm, cha tionndaidh grèin, 'S ann leis na sìthichean mo chridhe fhèin. Bridge The morning called with quiet grace, The mist released its soft embrace. She smiled and walked the winding lane, Believing she'd return again. But every stone had changed its place, No child recalled her gentle face. The cottage door was worn and grey, And all she loved had slipped away. Final Chorus Thig còmhla rium tron cheò geal bàn, Far dannsaidh sinn gu madainn chràn. Ged dh'fhalbh an saoghal fad air falbh, Bidh gaol nan sìthichean beò gu bràth. (Come with me through the pale white mist, Where we'll dance until the fading dawn. Though all the world has drifted on, The love of the fairies lives forever.) Outro When evening wraps the glen once more, You'll hear a tune not heard before. If mist should whisper through the vale... Don't follow... unless you seek the fairy tale. ------ ------- ------ ----- ------ What if a single night could steal fifty years? *The Mist of Fairy Glen* is an original Scottish-inspired folk ballad about a young woman who follows a mysterious melody through the mist into the hidden realm of the fairies.
