My Love Cape Breton and Me
Natalie MacMaster Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Of mountains and waters so still
A song that will speak of the magic of three
My love, Cape Breton and me
Teach me the ways of your land
Where power and peace go hand in hand
It's all that I want in this life and it's free
Always your rivers are calling to me
I hear the sound of sweet melody
When we're apart and I feel so alone
Carry me home, carry me home
If my time could end perfectly
I know where I'd sant it to be
God's gift of heaven would be made up of three
My love, Cape Breton and me
It's all that I want in this life and it's free
My love, Cape Breton and me
The song "My Love Cape Breton and Me" by Natalie MacMaster is a beautiful and emotional tribute to the singer's deep love for the Canadian island of Cape Breton. The lyrics call for a song that captures the beauty and magic of the island's hills, mountains, and still waters, and praises the unique way in which power and peace coexist in Cape Breton. The song expresses the singer's longing for the comfort and connection she experiences when she is in Cape Breton with her loved one, and she asks to be carried home to her beloved island when she is far away.
The chorus of the song reinforces the strong connection between the three central elements of the singer's life: her love, Cape Breton, and herself. She speaks about how her rivers call to her and how she hears the sweet melody of the land when she is apart from it. She then sings that if her time could end perfectly, she knows where she would want to be – with her love and on Cape Breton, which she views as a heavenly gift.
