Judy Collins - Dens of Yarrow CAPO: 1st Fret [Intro] [Verse 1] There were seven sons and two of them twins There were seven sons in Yarrow And they all did fight for their own true love In the dewy dewy dens of Yarrow [Verse 2] "Oh mother dear I dreamed a dream A dream of grief and sorrow I dreamed I saw my own true love In the dewy dewy dens of Yarrow" [Verse 3] "Oh daughter dear I saw your dream Your dream of grief and sorrow Your love today is laying slain In the dewy dewy dens of Yarrow" [Verse 4] She sought him up she sought him down She sought him all through Yarrow And there she found him lying slain In the dewy dewy dens of Yarrow [Verse 5] Her hair it was three quarters long And the colour of it was yellow She wrapped it around his middle so small And carried him home from Yarrow [Verse 6] "Oh mother dear come make my bed Come make it soft and narrow For my true love has died tonight In the dewy dewy dens of Yarrow" [Verse 7] She dressed herself in clean white clothes And away to the waters of Yarrow And there she lay her sweet self down And died on the banks of Yarrow [Verse 8] There were seven sons and two of them twins There were seven sons in Yarrow And they all did fight for their own true love In the dewy dewy dens of Yarrow

À propos de la chanson

La chanson raconte l'histoire tragique de sept fils, dont deux sont jumeaux, qui se battent tous pour l'amour véritable dans la région de Yarrow. Une fille rêve de son bien-aimé, mais ce rêve se transforme rapidement en cauchemar lorsqu'elle découvre qu'il a été tué. Dans sa douleur, elle le cherche partout et le trouve enfin, mort dans les buissons humides de Yarrow. Dévastée par cette perte, elle demande à sa mère de préparer son lit pour accueillir son chagrin, puis elle se rend au bord de la rivière où elle choisit de mourir à son tour, montrant ainsi l'intensité de son amour et de sa désespérance. Cette histoire évoque les thèmes de l'amour, de la perte et du sacrifice, immergeant l'auditeur dans un univers empreint de mélancolie.
