Greensleeves
Kelly Family The Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A travelling went to distant lands
A singing sweet
With pipes and strings and an open
Heart,just to wish their brothers
The good life
[Chorus:]
Greensleeves was our delight
Greensleeves our heart of gold
And who but our noble greensleeves
In Dante's land, oh there they
Marble strong,to see this celtic
Bloods sincerety, a look a smile
Even a tiny gift and turned
Their backs though curtesely
[Chorus:]
Then come to the citiy of a waltz
They say: "There they'll love you, passionately"
But in truth they were given no time and even scorned
For the city of music
Is gone for gold
[Chorus:]
So they danced their way
Though scared and pained
To Shiller's sweet haven
And dearest folk and at last
They were watched with wondering love
And that lifted this family's saddened heart
The Kelly Family's song "Greensleeves" describes a family of bards who travel to distant lands to share their music with others. They carry with them instruments such as pipes and strings, along with an open heart and a desire to wish their brothers the good life. However, their journey is not always easy, and they encounter obstacles such as rejection and scorn from those they hope to connect with.
The song references Dante's land, where the family encounters individuals who show disdain towards their Celtic heritage despite their sincerity. They also visit a city famous for its waltz, where they are told they will be loved passionately, but are quickly disappointed by the reality of the cutthroat music industry. Despite these challenges, the family continues to dance and sing their way towards a place of refuge, finally finding solace among the kind and loving people of Shiller's sweet haven.
The lyrics of the song convey a message of resilience and perseverance in the face of adversity. Despite the rejection and hardship they encounter along the way, the family continues to share their music with an open heart, eventually finding their way to a place of acceptance and love.
