Bilingual
I fell asleep down by the stream
There I had the strangest dream
Down by Brennan's Glen there grows
A briar and a rose
There's a tree in the forest
But I don't know where
I built a nest out of your hair
Climbing up into the air
Briar and the rose
I don't know how long it has been
But I was born in Brennan's Glen
And near the end of spring there grows
A briar and a rose
I picked the rose one early morn
I pricked my finger on a thorn
Well it had grown so close it wove
The briar 'round the rose
I tried to tear them both apart
I felt a bullet in my heart
And all dressed up in spring's new clothes
Briar and the rose
When I'm buried in my grave
Tell me so I will know
Your tears will fall to make love grow
The briar and the rose
Your tears will fall to make love grow
The briar and the rose
