from Oannes * tribute to women!

Ένα ασύγκριτο αριστούργημα, τραγουδισμένο από την πιο αγαπημένη μου γυναικεία φωνή όλων των εποχών. Farewell, Farewell από τους Fairport Convention και την Sandy Denny.

✻

An unparalleled masterpiece, sung by my most beloved female voice of all time. Farewell, Farewell from Fairport Convention and Sandy Denny.

❝Farewell, farewell to you who would hear
You lonely travelers all
The cold north wind will blow again
The winding road does call
And will you never return to see
Your bruised and beaten sons?
“Oh, I would, I would, if welcome I were
For they loathe me, every one”
And will you never cut the cloth
Or drink the light to be?
And can you never swear a year
To any one of we?
“No, I will never cut the cloth
Or drink the light to be
But I’ll swear a year to one who lies
Asleep along side of me”
Farewell, farewell to you who would hear
You lonely travelers all
The cold north wind will blow again
The winding road does call ❞

Enjoy!

* For my friends who didn’t know, or first timers here, Oannes [aka Socratis Papahatzis] is my husband, partner in life and music and the one with my undying admiration. Together we have a band MK-O [the music of Marina Kanavaki & Oannes]. So, it’s my pleasure to share with you his [and sometimes mine] musical selections. • Do visit his site. He has my highest recommendation!
