about

The lyrics to this song is actually straight from a poem of the same name, written by none other than William Shakespeare. I merely added a tune to it and, well, here is my interpretation. I interpret this as a somber song. In my opinion, I don't see this as a happy song because this is the point where women realize that men are liars, but have no power whatsoever to do anything about it. Feeling powerless and grim, women are reluctantly letting the idea of having a perfect man go. I did the best I could to capture that emotion and mindset through this simple tune.

lyrics

Sigh no more, ladies, sigh no more,
Men were deceivers ever;
One foot in sea, and one on shore,
To one thing constant never.
Then sigh not so,
But let them go,
And be you blithe and bonny,
Converting all your sounds of woe
Into hey nonny, nonny.

Sing no more, ditties, sing no more
Of dumps so dull and heavy;
The fraud of men was ever so,
Since summer first was leafy.
Then sigh not so,
But let them go,
And be you blithe and bonny,
Converting all your sounds of woe
Into hey nonny, nonny.
Into hey nonny, nonny.
