John Renbourn - O' Death

[@CBBovey]

John had an amazing singing voice as well as being a virtuoso guitarist. The singing in this song is beautiful.

¡Oh muerte! La del frío y dulce abrazo...¿ Por qué te aborrezco tanto?

[@mariajosemorenoguerrero8638]

Gracias por hacerme la vida más amable. Como la asunción de la muerte. Tan estéril como necesaria para que la vida siga

[@rudy6245]

The whole album 'lost Sessions' is very good.

[@Eavesdropper1000]

Hi Sarah Bezold
I hear:
Oh Death, pray stay your hand a while
In shadows hide your face away
That none may see your smile
For one year and a day... ---
And should you hear the night owls cry so shrill (Night owl's cries were believed to be someone would die)
Stay sleeping in your castle cold
Be slilent and be still
And let their tales be told...---
---------
Oh Death, thou mercy's name so fair
Foresake the reaper's bitter task
All ours is your's to spare
That we might only ask and it'd be granted there...---
Into the Garden of delights we float, we fly
Tumbling clouds of a 1000 nights we crow, we cry
Longforgotten memories of childhood seem so sweetly and so clear
Love-begotten child of the Christal Spring
Would wish you welcome here...
----------
Oh Death, pray stay your hand a while
In shadows hide your ace away
That none may see your smile
For one year and a day... ---
