Cavan Girl

The Dubliners

Cavan Girl ----------- capo can be used for easier singing!! [Intro] [Verse 1] As I walk the road from Killashandra weary I sit down. For it’s twelve long miles around the lake to get to Cavan town. Though Oughter and the road I go once seemed beyond compare. Now I curse the time it takes to reach my Cavan girl so fair. *its the same for the nxt verses* [Verse 2] The autumn shades are on the leaves the trees will soon be bare Each red-gold leaf around me seems the colour of her hair. My gaze retreats to find my feet and once again I sigh For the broken pools of sky remind the colour of her eye. [Verse 3] At the Cavan Cross each Sunday morning there she can be found And she seems to have the eye of every boy in Cavan town. If my luck will hold I’ll have the golden summer of her smile And to break the hearts of Cavan men she’ll talk to me a while. [Verse 4] So next Sunday evening finds me homeward - Killashandra bound To work the week till I return and court in Cavan town. When asked if she would be my bride at least she’d not said "no" So next Sunday morning rouse myself and back to her I’ll go.

La chanson évoque le voyage d'un jeune homme qui marche le long d'une route, fatigué, en direction de la ville de Cavan, où vit la belle fille qui a volé son cœur. Alors qu'il avance, il se laisse distraire par la beauté de la nature, ses pensées errant vers les traits délicats de cette jeune femme. Chaque dimanche, il espère la retrouver à la croisée des chemins, là où elle attire l'attention de tous les regards admiratifs. Avec une touche d'optimisme, il se prépare à retourner à Cavan, rêvant d’un avenir avec elle et se réjouissant de la possibilité qu'elle puisse accepter sa demande en mariage. C'est un récit de passion, d'espoir et de l'attente d'un amour naissant.
