My Dearest Dear
Farewell's Silent Echo: Unveiling the Heart's Painful Goodbye
Lyrics
My Dearest dear, the time is near when I and you must part
Expressing the imminent separation between the speaker and their beloved.
And no one knows the inner grief of my poor aching heart.
Conveying the deep emotional pain and sorrow hidden within the speaker's heart.
Or what I suffer for your sake, for the one I love so dear.
Revealing the speaker's suffering on behalf of their beloved, emphasizing the strength of their love.
I wish that I could go with you or you could tarry here.
Expressing a desire to be together or for the beloved to stay, highlighting the difficulty of parting.
I wish my heart were made of glass, that in it I might behold
Using metaphorical language to express a wish for transparency in emotions, symbolized by a heart made of glass.
Your name in secret I would write letters of bright gold
Desiring to write the beloved's name in secret, suggesting a private and cherished connection.
Your name in secret I would write, pray believe me when I say
Reiterating the sentiment of secret admiration and expressing sincerity in love.
You are the one that I love best until my dying day.
Declaring the beloved as the one true love until the end of the speaker's life.
Mo gra thu, a stoirin (I love you, my Darling)
Adding an Irish phrase ("Mo gra thu, a stoirin") expressing love to enhance emotional depth.
And when you're on some distant shore think on your absent friend
Encouraging the beloved to think of the speaker while away, showing a longing for connection.
And when the wind blows high and clear, a line or two pray send
Requesting the beloved to send a message when the wind is high and clear, indicating a connection through nature.
And when the wind blows high and clear, pray send it, love, to me
Repeating the request for a message, emphasizing the importance of communication.
That I may know by your hand write how times have gone with thee
Desiring updates on the beloved's well-being through their handwritten letters.
My dearest dear, the time is near when you and I must part
Repeating the opening lines to underscore the impending separation and emotional struggle.
And no one knows the inner grief of my poor aching heart
Reiterating the theme of inner grief and expressing the depth of the speaker's heartache.
Or what I suffer for your sake, for the one I love so dear
Reemphasizing the speaker's suffering for the beloved, emphasizing the strength of their love.
I wish that I could go with you or you could tarry here
Expressing the ongoing desire to be together or for the beloved to stay, echoing the initial sentiment.
