Love Thee Dearest
Celtic Thunder Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Love thee dearest, love thee
Yes, by yonder star I swear
Which through tears above thee
Shines so sadly fair
Thou, too, oft dimmed
With tears like him
Like him my truth will shine
And love thee, dearest, love thee
Yes ? till death I?m thine.

Dormi amore dormi
Porta il fuore dove vuoi
Vola verso I sogni
Bella come sei
Tue sei per me la stella she
Per sempre brillera
E dormi amore dormi
E gia notte ormai

Dimmi amore dimmi
Che non te ne andrai mai piu
Quante notti insonni
Se mi manchi tu
Accanto a me le vuvole
Non torneranno mai
E sogna tutti I sogni





Che l?amore da
L?amore da
