You Will Be My Ain True Love

This song makes me think of ture love. Its' from cold mountain, which i haven't seen but know some of the story, with two people who have been seperated because of war but still remain in love. They are fighting through death and combat to get to one another, never giving up and doing as much as they can to find each other.

It really fits the Cold Mountain story perfectly.

I think it's a beautiful song.

I think this song means that a woman is waiting for her love to go home and she would do anything for his safity. It's about hard war times.

oh yes i fforgot to tell that's my favourite song of all times.. :D

this song is gorgeous!!!!!! i love it

Sting wrote this song for the movie saying that it was from the perspective of the woman. She's singing the song to protect and guide her lover back to her. Beautiful lyrics and beautifully sung. One of my favorite movies.

This song is somewhat simple but really haunting, about love being strong enough to overcome anything even though the world has gone to hell and life very often just doesn't work out that way. It perfectly fits the heroine character in the movie and the kind of hope she holds onto but I think somehow still sort of conveys the darkness of the story.

This is, in my opinion, one of the greatest songs made in recent years. Because of this, I would like to point out that the lyrics floating around on the internet aren't quite accurate.

They sing: 'No cutlass wound will mar thy face.'

As well as: 'They'll seek to bind me North and South.'

Is it possible to have these corrections made to the lyrics?

This song strikes like a thunderbolt. The woman tries to deliver her man to safety, and to her, by her blessings. The man speaks as a maelstrom overtakes him. The possibility hinted by the last verse that he is already dying, and that he has gone to find his true love in another world, adds to the haunting effect.
