Blodeuwedd Songtext
von Damh the Bard

Look into the water
Tell me what do you see
I see a woman of flowers
Crying out to be free
I see a goddess, a woman
In a circle of trees
I see Math and Gwydion
Fall to their knees
Fall to their knees

Welcome the May Queen
Sing for her now
For as the year turns to Samhain
She′ll return as an owl


Blodeuwedd the owl
Stand alone in the tower
Watch over your land
Hear the call of a hunter
Call him into your hands
He is dark, he is handsome
And the king is away
Gronw says he must go now
But you ask him to stay
Ask him to stay

Welcome the May Queen
Sing for her now
For as the year turns to Samhain
She'll return as an owl
Blodeuwedd the owl

She can′t live without him
So while the king is away
They plot to kill him
In a year and a day
With a foot on the cauldron
A goat holds him true
By a fast running river
Came the spear from Gronw
And the eagle it flew

Welcome the May Queen
Sing for her now
For as the year turns to Samhain
She'll return as an owl
Blodeuwedd the owl


My son, where are you?
For only I see
An old rotting eagle
Upon an oak tree

Oak that grows between two banks
Darkened is the sky and hills
Shall I not know by your wounds
That this is a lie?

Oak that grows on upland ground
Is it not wetted by the rain?
Has it not been drenched by nine score tempests?
It holds in its branches
Pli flau gaffess

Come to me young lion
And rest this night
For your wife is a bird now
She will never see light
Cursed to hunt in the night

Welcome the May Queen
Sing for her now
For as the year turns to Samhain
She'll return as an owl
Blodeuwedd the owl

Welcome the May Queen
Sing for her now
For as the year turns to Samhain
She′ll return as an owl
Blodeuwedd the owl
