Letra Aura Lee - Burl Ives

Aura Lee

As the blackbird in the Spring
'Neath the willow tree
Sat and pipd', I heard him sing
Sing of Aura Lea
Aura Lea, Aura Lea
Maid of golden hair
Sunshine came along with thee
And swallows in the air
Aura Lea! the bird may flee
The willow’s golden hair
Swing through winter fitfully
On the stormy air
Yet if thy eyes I see
Gloom will soon depart
For to me, sweet Aura Lea
Is sunshine through the heart
When the mistletoe was green
Midst the winter’s snows
Sunshine in thy face was seen
Kissing lips of rose
Aura Lea, Aura Lea
Take my golden ring
Love and light return with thee
And swallows with the spring
