Subject: Lyr Add: FEAR A BHATA
Gee, thanks guys!!!!!!:))))))))))))))))))))))) It's incredible, I just got up from the bed, turned on the computer to see if there aren't any new messages... and there you are... Wow, five new!!! And, at last, the text!!!

George, that's not possible that the e'mail address: minsar@ironmaiden.com is not working... anyway you can still try to send it to: jkozlow@go2.pl

Thank you Aine - wow, fourth translation:)))))) Great! Thanks for the link to the chords.

I have just listened to the record with the text that I got thanks to you (I'm grateful especially for the second verse:)) Now I understand why I couldn't write it down just by hearing the song - I did't know the word "fickle". don't know why but I didn't recognize this "all in vain", wouldn't get this "thou art my"... And in the end of the last line - I thought it was "I watched them in" - and of course it didn't make any sense;))

So - I listened to the song with the text, and I (still - correct me if I'm wrong) added a few corrections. I'm not sure but I think that will be good (possible corrections are written with capital letters):

FEAR A BHATA

How often haunting the highest hilltop
I scan the ocean, I SAILED to see
Will it come tonight, love, will it come tomorrow
WIL'T ever come, love, to comfort me

Chorus
Fear-a-uata, no horoway-la
Fear-a-uata, no horoway-la
Fear-a-uata, no horoway-la
O fare thee well, love, where'er YE be

They call thee fickle, they call thee false one
And seek to change me but all in vain
Thou art my dream yet throughout the dark night
And every MORNING I watch the main

There's not a hamlet, too well I know it,
Where you go wandering or (DON'T KONW WHY BUT I STILL HEAR "SET" INSTEAD OF "STAY" HERE...)awhile
But all its old folk you win with talking
And charm its maidens with song and smile

("th" doesn't sound like "s", so I think it is "THUS", not "Doth", but maybe...)Doth thou remember the promise made me,
(AND STILL HEAR HERE "TARTAN" AND "PLAIDIE"..),THE silken gown
That (OR THE) ring of gold with (DEFIITELY "THY" INSTEAD OF YOUR)hair and portrait
That gown and ring I will never own

Hmm.. what do you think of that? That might be good? You know what... I think I got used to checking the messages on the forum, it's great here...
