‘Gaita be, gaiteta del chastel...’ Lyrics by Stephen Pringle

Translations

2013

Guard fast-- you're the guard of this fortress
And the only one I'd ever call fairest
Is mine until dawn.
The day comes. I call it distress.
My last caress
Is taken by the dawn.
The dawn, god, the dawn.
Guard, friend, and wake and sing and pine.
Since I am rich; the only thing I want is mine.
But I rage at the dawn
Daylight is misery's sign
I opine
On the darkness of dawn.
The dawn, god, the dawn.
Guard yourself, guard of this tower
Against the evil one, who holds power.
More annoying than the dawn,
Since here love blooms as a flower.
But our mood is sour,
Soured by the dawn.
The dawn, god, the dawn.
Lady, adieu, since I can no longer stay
I must leave, much as I hate the day.
It grieves me so, the dawn,
Which so quickly comes this way.
Pure decay,
The dawn.
The dawn, god, the dawn.
