My Love Is Like A Red Red Rose
Eva Cassidy's Eternal Love: A Red Rose in Melodic Harmony
Lyrics
My love's like a red, red rose
My love is compared to a vibrant red rose.
That's newly sprung in June;
Similar to a rose in full bloom during June, representing freshness and new beginnings.
My love is like a melody
My love is likened to a sweet melody, harmoniously played.
So sweetly play'd in tune
The melody is beautifully in tune, suggesting harmony and emotional resonance.
As fair art thou, my bonnie lass,
The speaker compares the beloved to a fair and attractive person, expressing deep love.
So deep in love am I;
Emphasizes the profound love felt by the speaker.
And I will love thee still, my dear,
The commitment to continue loving the dear one, even if challenges arise.
Though all the seas gone dry.
Expresses unwavering love despite unimaginable circumstances, like the seas drying up.
Though all the seas gone dry, my dear,
Reiterates the enduring nature of love even if the seas were to disappear.
And the rocks melt with the sun;
Extends the extreme conditions to include rocks melting with the sun.
I will love thee still my dear,
The commitment to love persistently remains unchanged.
Though the sands o' life shall run.
Despite the passage of time (sands of life running), the love will endure.
So fare-thee-weel, my only love!
Bids farewell to the beloved, acknowledging the separation.
And fare-thee-weel awhile!
Temporary goodbye, with the intention to reunite in the future.
And I will come to you again,
Assures the commitment to return, regardless of the distance.
Though it were ten thousand miles!
Expresses determination to come back, even if the distance is immense.
Though it were ten thousand miles, my dear
Repeats the vast distance but maintains the commitment to return.
Though it twere ten thousand miles.
Reiteration of the considerable distance, emphasizing the speaker's determination.
I will come to you again.
The resolution to come back is affirmed once again.
Though it twere ten thousand miles.
Despite an enormous distance, the commitment to return remains steadfast.
