Die Lyria Sängerin ALINE HAPP sorgt konstant für Nachschub für ihre Fans, in Form der mittlerweile bekannten selbstaufgenommenen Videos. Zum St. Patrick’s Day hat sie ihre „Celtic Version“ des auch hierzulande bekannten Irish Traditionals “Red is the Rose” veröffentlicht, zu der sie erklärt:

„This is a female version of the lyrics, replacing „lass“ by „lad“ and „bonnie“ by „handsome“ as The Chieftains had already done.“

Lyrics:

Come over the hills, my handsome Irish lad

Come over the hills to your darling

You choose the road, love, and I’ll make the vow

And I’ll be your true love forever.

 

Chorus:

Red is the rose that in yonder garden grows

Fair is the lily of the valley

Clear is the water that flows from the Boyne

But my love is fairer than any.

 

‚Twas down by Killarney’s green woods that we strayed

When the moon and the stars they were shining

The moon shone its rays on his locks of golden hair

And he swore he’d be my love forever.

 

Chorus

 

It’s not for the parting that my sister pains

It’s not for the grief of my mother

‚Tis all for the loss of my handsome Irish lad

That my heart is breaking forever.
