Padstow Carol: A Paganized Version
Lyrics:
Chorus: Unite and unite and let us all unite
For summer is a-comin’ today.
And whither we are going, we all will unite,
In the merry morning of May.
Here under his protection, we surely make our way,
For summer is a-comin’ today.
We make way through the wild lands that ring about our lives,
In the merry morning of May.
(Chorus)
From out of winter dwellings we joyfully come,
For summer is a-comin’ today.
We come with many gifts for those living in the wild,
In the merry morning of May.
(Chorus)
O where is our Lugh? O where is he, O?
He’s going before us,
Displaying his long spear, O
Dispersing cold
Dispersing night, O
Dispersing foul creatures
That wish us their ill will O.
(Chorus)
With gift and counter-gift we will make a proper deal
For summer is a-comin’ today.
A deal with those outside for the using of their land,
In the merry morning of May.
(Chorus)
