The Bonny Light Horseman

de Lúnasa

When boney commanded his armies to stand
And he leveled his cannon right over the land
He leveled his cannon his victory to gain
And slew my light horseman on the way home from Spain

Broken-hearted I'll wander
Broken-hearted I'll remain
Since my bonny light horseman
In the cruel world was slain

If I was a small bird, if I'd wings to fly
I'd fly o'er the salt seas to where my love does lie
And with my fond wings I'd beat over his grave
And kiss the pale lips that lie cold in the clay

Broken-hearted I'll wander
Broken-hearted I'll remain
Since my bonny light horseman
In the cruel world was slain

Now, the dove, she laments for her mate as she flies
Where, tell me where is my true love, she sighs
And where in this wide world is there one to compare
With my bonny light horseman who was slain in the war

Napoleon bonaparte, you're the cause of my woe
Since my bonny light horseman to the cruel world, he did go

Broken-hearted I'll wander
Broken-hearted I'll remain
Since my bonny light horseman
In the cruel world was slain
