Rajaton Summer Song song lyrics

On Shannon bank I wandered on May

Where the violet waters run

There the yellow petal of primrose did lay

'Neath the warmth of the morning sun.

Golden light, gentle rain falling from above

with a beauty beyond compare

Sweeter than the violin the language of love

in the heart of my true love fair.

There I saw a fair young maid

like a rose in its richest bloom,

And her raven hair with blossom arrayed

Filled the air with a sweet perfume.

Silver stream, summer song calling from above

with a beauty beyond compare

Sweeter than the violin the language of love

in the heart of my true love fair.

This jewel bright, this flower fair

She consented to be my bride.

Ten years have past, still none compare,

To her loveliness, by my side.

Golden light, gentle rain falling from above

with a beauty beyond compare

Sweeter than the violin the language of love

in the heart of my true love fair
