"I'm just listening to your songs, and I like them.
I don't understand a single word of it, but your nice voice keeps me listening.

'There is no greater...' is my favourite, it's very relaxed with nice piano and flute playing, and of course your ethnic voice. Great!" - Tom Crowning

"Andrea you are a treasure.
The minute I heard your voice I was drawn into your world of beauty.
There is no Greater
Is an extraordinarily beautiful piece.
I can see why people say
Enya, Deep Forest etc for your influences
But only you sing like you sing
Like the songbird you are.
Thank you so much for the experience
I will listen again and again and again" - Niav

Szöveg / Lyrics


There is no greater sadness in the world
Than when those get coupled who don't love each other,
If she has to hug him, she says her arms hurt,
If she has to kiss him, she sheds tears.

I love you, I love you, but tell it to no-one
Till they carry me laid out on the church's ground.
Don't tell it to your mother that I love you,
No-one should know that I'm dying for you.

Love, love, wretched anguish
Why didn't you blossom on the leaves of each tree
On the leaves of each tree, at the bottom of each bush,
Let each boy and girl pluck you.

'cause I've already plucked And also missed it, 'cause I've already plucked And also missed it,
Instead of a tame dove, I caught a wild one,
Ey, I would pluck again if I found a good one,
A good one, a nice one, my old flame.

And for my old flame what I wouldn't do,
The water out of a sea I would scoop with a spoon. And on the seabottom I would pick tiny pearls
And for my old flame I would bind a pearl-wreath.
