Spinning Wheel - Nana Mouskouri

作词：Waller/Murphy

作曲：Waller/Murphy

Mellow the moonlight

To shine is beginning

Close by the window

Young Eileen is spinning

Bent o'er the fire her grand

Grandmother sitting

Is crooning and moaning

And drowsily knitting

Merrily cheerily noisily whirring

Swings the wheel spins

The wheel while the foot's stirring

Sprightly and lightly and merrily ringing

Sounds the sweet voice of

The young maiden singing

Eileen a chara

I hear someone tapping

'Tis the ivy dear mother

Against the glass flapping

Eileen I surely hear somebody sighing

'Tis the sound mother dear of

The autumn winds dying

There's a form at the casement

The form of her true love

And he whispers with face bent

I'm waiting for you love

Get up on the stool through

The lattice step lightly

And we'll rove in the grove while

The moon's shining brightly

Merrily cheerily noisily whirring

Swings the wheel spins

The wheel while the foot's stirring

Sprightly and lightly and merrily ringing

Sounds the sweet voice of

The young maiden singing

The maid shakes her head

On her lips lays her fingers

Steals up from the seat

Longs to go and yet lingers

A frightened glance turns

To her drowsy grandmother

Puts one foot on the stool

Spins the wheel with the other

Lazily easily swings

Now the wheel round

Slowly and lowly is heard

Now the reel's sound

Noiseless and light to

The lattice above her

The maid steps

Then leaps to the arms of her lover

Slower and slower

And slower the wheel swings

Lower and lower

And lower the reel rings

There the reel and the wheel

Stop their spinning and moving

The grove the young lovers

By moonlight are roving
