Dido's Lament Songtext

(H. Purcell / live at Meltdown Festival, London, July 1 1995)

Thy hand, belinda; darkness shades me:
On thy bosom let me rest:
More I would, but death invades me:
Death is now a welcome guest.

When I am laid in earth, may my wrongs create
No trouble in thy breast;
Remember me, but ah! forget my fate.
