Testi di musica celtica: Capercaillie, Little Do They Know

Artista: Capercaillie

Album: Choice Language

Scrivono i Capercaillie nel booklet del loro album: "Le parole per questa canzone sono venute la settimana seguente la perdita del grande politico John Smith, un uomo che mai si arrese nel cercare una via migliore di vita per la sua terra. La tune alla fine (Machair At Dawn) era originariamente stata composta per la serie TV della BBC "Gruth Is Uachdar - Crowdie & Cream"."


Little do they know

The things that you’ve been through

A nation on its knees

Begging for her soul

When time and time again

Yours tears well and flow

To the rivers of our home

Is now the time to go?


For years now

We’ve been orphans in the storm

Hanging on in vain

For the clouds to unfold

When time and time again

Yours tears well and flow

Is this where I belong

Is now the time to go?


There isn’t a day goes by that I don’t hope and pray

There isn’t a day goes by that I don’t hope and pray

There isn’t a day goes by that I don’t hope and pray for change.


When all the world is calm

With salvation at your door

Those memories will fade

And trouble you no more

And I know how it feels

When your tears well and flow

Is this where I belong

Is now the time to go?
