Dido, queen of Carthage
Like a city that has fallen
Like a stray cloud in the sky
Dido´s thoughts are rolling
Like the thunder in the sky
Her hair all strewn
This afternoon
Her eyes wide open
Dido is sobbing.
Lost ship to the ocean
Leaderless and yet in motion
Betrayed by a hero keen
Floats the girl that was a queen
Dido, fair Dido,
Fields do lie fallow
The time is not to sallow
Lie back on a pillow!
Like a city that has fallen
Without hope is Dido calling
Out her wrath like rolling
Thunder in the sky.
Pledges war upon the part
That did break her heart.
