"Hace unos años pasé una memorable Nochevieja en Doolin, en el Condado de Clare, en Irlanda, y me conmovió la antigüedad de algunas de las celebraciones. Me encontré con profundos recordatorios de que estos deben ser los remanentes del antiguo mundo encontrándose con el "nuevo"."
Os dejo, con la letra de la misma y dos vídeos: uno con la actuación en La Alhambra, y otro, curiosamente, con el sonido de dicha actuación, pero con fotos evocadoras, de viejos caminos...
Perderse en ellos... es una autentica gozada...
Besitos, y nos vemos en "Cymbeline".
THE OLD WAYS
Words and music by Loreena McKennitt
The thundering waves are calling me home to you
The pounding sea is calling me home to you
On a dark new year's night
On the west coast of Clare
I heard your voice singing
Your eyes danced the song
Your hands played the tune
T'was a vision before me.
We left the music behind and the dance carried on
As we stole away to the seashore
We smelt the brine, felt the wind in our hair
And with sadness you paused.
Suddenly I knew that you'd have to go
My world was not yours, your eyes told me so
Yet it was there I felt the crossroads of time
And I wondered why.
As we cast our gaze on the tumbling sea
A vision came o'er me
Of thundering hooves and beating wings
In clouds above.
As you turned to go I heard you call my name,
You were like a bird in a cage spreading its wings to fly
"The old ways are lost," you sang as you flew
And I wondered why.
