I Remember It Well

Lyrics by Tatiana Nikolaevna Tumanova, Eilis O’Bouirne, Caius Auklandus

(To the Tune of: I Remember It Well from Gigi)

He used a sword (It was a mace)
He hit my arm (It was your face)
Ah, yes, I remember it well
He grazed my head (He bashed your brain)
It didn’t hurt (Were you in pain)
Ah, yes, I remember it well
How often I’ve thought of that Friday (Thursday) night
And all of the fighters that I slew
And somehow I’ve foolishly wonder if you might
By some chance be thinking of it, too
He got my side (It was your thigh)
His shield was low (His shield was high)
Ah, yes, I remember it well
He got my leg (It was your head)
I was alive (No, you were dead)
Ah, yes, I remember it well
My gambeson was gold (You were all in blue)
Am I getting old?  (Oh, no, not you!
How strong you were, so quick and fey
A fearless knight, in every way!)
Ah, yes, I remember it well
