Simone, Nina - Black Is The Color Of My True Love's Hair Lyrics

❤️❤️❤️

I can't handle that two of them have the same voice. And how they blend it, it's just magnificent.

She is a heroine to me. Thank you for sharing

that is musical legend weldon irvine at the beginning trading seats with her at the piano and adjusting the bench for her. he was at one point her musical director, co-writer and a big hand in arranging etc. the current victorious de costa film "DIGGING FOR WELDON IRVINE" shines a great light on their history. big ups to artists with depth & the pain they liberate to give us art.

J'écoute en boucle cette immense personnalité, plus qu'une immense pianiste et chanteuse. Toute une vie sans compromis, hors du star système, formidablement engagée, trainant une énorme souffrance. Une pensée à sa fille Lisa. Il n'y a pas un enregistrement vidéo qui ne touche le coeur et l'âme au plus profond de soi...

Nina, a unique, supremely gifted broad artist, intensely living the inner art, the experience, the life implied. She had such touch and taste, texture and presence. All were wonderful...

Thanks "lukeslark" 🌺 via Nina Simone 🎼🎹🎸🌺🎧🎼🎼💙🎩🎩🎩🌺

Total philistine if you dislike this beautiful song, beautiful voice and amazing women.

Thank you ...

Before I read any comment I thought “That sounds kind of like an Irish ballad..” low and behold I found out it is! Wow 🤩

Although popular in Irland for the last 40 years, it is a Scottish song, brought to Ireland by Christy Moore.

Аж сердце замирает!!!

Magique !

I know very little about music. I have heard this is a difficult song to sing because it is sung in lower notes. Listening to this interpretation by Simone, it seems that she sang it very well.

There are many versions of it and you should be able to change the key to suit your range. Do it your own way and best of luck

Incredible

Omg I have never heard this guy before.
What a voice, what an awesome blend they make.

Very true. The song is actually played in two halves but they compliment each other so well. You can hardly tell them apart. Just perfection.

His hair was indeed black.

Sadness in her voice

🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺 Nina Simone

We sang this song in my men’s choir in college..

The highest priestess of soul

I'm Rocking A Natural Afro like Nina at the moment

She is beautiful

Jaw-dropping magnificent!

John Jacob Niles

Wow. Until this moment I thought it an only Christy Moore song. He must have heard this version to have of inspired him to perform his own great but not quite as great as this version

I’ve never done drugs in my life but now I know this is Tht. Felt hypnotized visualizing my own love w every stitch of skin blended )))) I need a cold shower forever

Awesome

Caaanım Nina Simone. O nasıl hissetmek, hissettirmek!

This is actually an Irish song. The genius of Nina has given this tune to the world. For my true love, who has the most wonderous black, long hair. I could get lost in his hair.

Actually Susan it is Scottish, the song we sing in Ireland even mentions the Clyde. Brought over by Christy Moore.

Who is the singing guitar player?

Beautiful, go raibh maith agat!

This is the TOP of my playlist moving into 2020!

My hair is black and I feel soo special when listening to this.

awful interprestation of a wonderful song !

The Incomparable.....
Nina Simone

Black Is the Colour
Nina Simone
Black is the color of my true love's hair
His face so soft and wondrous fair
The purest eyes
And the strongest hands
I love the ground on where he stands
I love the ground on where he stands
Black is the color of my true love's hair
Of my true love's hair
Of my true love's hair
Oh I love my lover
And where he goes
Yes, I love the ground on where he goes
And still I hope
That the time will come
When he and I will be as one
When he and I will be as one
So black is the color of my true love's hair
Black is the color of my true love's hair
Black is the color of my true love's hair

J'aime beaucoup ♥️

Nina Simone é simplesmente arrebatador....

I like very much this song! I am listening the heart of singer!

This I call music. Not money, not flying puxxyes and boobs, not drugs and alcohol. Just pure feels that hit you and leave something truly meaningful and beautiful within you. Art.

Very well said👍

Wow. How did I not know much about Nina Simone before?

Her music didn't appeal to the mass audience, it was in the realm of fine art. She is one of the phenomenal people about whom I am also still learning more and more. Don't stop searching - there is much, much more to discover............................

history in the making...and she allowed US to see and hear an FEEL her LIFES story for the LOVE of music

I'm sure that in the moment when the piano kisses the guitar, their true love is right there, in soul and hair.

UNA LOCURA

Oh MEU DEUS...perfeição.... DEUS salve... october 18...2019 Rio de Janeiro Brazil

Wow. I hear Maysa Leak, Layla Hathaway and Anita Baker. I never knew.

I am enamoured by this women, her voice, her soul, her fingers that dance on the piano keys and they way she can resonate with us her pain, love, sensuality and solitude... forever😌

Everything is so deep, her voice, song lyrics, emotions that I feel when I listen piano, I think this is the best song ever written and this is the best cover of it.

Thats a fucking dude

She had very distinct facial features, making her easily recognizable. I think she looked quite classy, in accordance with her performing talent.

Truly ahead of it's time. Every time I hear this song I can't help but tear up. Love this woman.

well the song is 200-300 years old, so

🖤✝️🌹❤️💋👑

How can this be happening?

I would give my right arm to have witnessed a live performance from this brilliant woman, Nina is my favorite,my Goddess.

She hypnotizes me...

Suprema!

Imagine someone said "white is the color of my true love"

If that's their true love white so be it!!😁🎙️✌🏿

Imagine an old aged person singing to their white-haired love, and you've got it. p.s. - this is an old Scottish ballad, just fyi

@ThePapasmurf1946 yeh but today everything is about race conflict. Remember the fuss about honey it's cold outside.... labeled racist by dumb liberals

Her voice doesn't sound very good, it's out of tune & sounds really pitchy. The song's too slow. I'm sure it's meaningful, but it's boring. She's a good piano player though.

You have no taste in music. You suck at life.

True art isn't a matter of achieving a precise number of vibrations per second, mathematically. Art is the expression of emotion, and that's what we see here. p.s. - look up Rhiannon Giddens doing a Very Different version of this song - it's much more appealing to me (faster and "in tune")

Merci .

Eu choro quando ouço essa cançao😢😢😢
É profundamente linda!

Still Devine...

Amazing

Vi su vida y trayectoria en Netflix y es triste y muy molesto saber que los ultraconservadores y racistas gringos le prohibieron presentarse en el Carneggie hall,y no reconocieron a la tal vez mas importante artista de su época porque opacaba a los artistas blancos, sólo por el color de su piel.

Hell to the nah.

Beautiful song and performance . I am very lucky that I heard Nina Simone live at Roni Scott's 1984

I love Nina! I'm so lucky (blessed) I had the opportunity to see her in Brazil!

Nina Simone 2019 Black Peoples Are More Terrified Of The Words Black And Being Black Than The Words KKK.

820 people are certifiably insane

Out of 7.5 million views? That's a phenomenally low number of dislikes. 00.001 percent of us should be allowed to be tasteless and insane.

3:30 What the hell

i dedicate this to Yusuf/Cat Stevens

OH. MAH GOODNESS.... Soooo hauntingly beautiful and inspiring. <3 Oh what you do...

💛💛💛 absolutely magical

Never knew what an accomplished pianist she is. Wow

Maravillosa canción.¡¡¡

I wonder what Nina would think of Avi Kaplan's version of her verse.

Play this for my wife her hair is natural black bin married 28 years and wouldn’t be without her💖✌🏻

Nina Simone não é grande só por ser uma grande cantora,mas também por ser politizada e corajosa.

Quem foi mais politizada que Nina Simone cantando?

I love the sound of her voice,her lyrics and the way how she communicate with us,her oddity..

brilliant

I remember my dad singing thid

this isn't even the version on her album - she's improvising, and she's just that incredibly talented.

Love my queen ❤️

Who is the singer/guitarist?

Eu amo , adoro , tenho paixão , quando escuto esta música

OTR II intro!

woow woooow just woow listening to this in 2019 ! yeaaah cheers

ISN'T SHE BEAUTIFUL !
The setting - Nina Simone's Hair, her skin tone, the perfect makeup that brings out her Perfect... facial features, her outfit, the piano, NINA's graceful, elegant manner as she performs, the bare lighting...the still silence .. Is AN AWESOME piece of Artwork.
Then ... Emile Latimer delicately, delicately ... frames it.

Sedate and cathartic

her voice makes me so emotional, she is beyond legendary

Beautiful Scottish folk song. Probably brought to Canada by Scottish migrants in the 18 hundreds.

does anybody know if this is copyrighted?

OMG OMG hauntingly beautiful

Black is the color of my true love's hair
His face is like roses so fair
He's the prettiest face
And the neatest of hands
I love the ground on where he stands
Oh I love my love
And this he knows
I love the ground on whereon he goes
If you no more on earth I see,
I can't serve you as you have me
The winters passed and the leaves are green
The time is passed that we have seen
But still I hope the time will come
When you and I will be as one
I go to the Clyde to mourn and weep,
But satisfied I never could sleep
I write you a letter
Just a few short lines
I'll suffer death ten thousand times.
So fare you well my ain't true love
The time has passed but I wish you well
But still I hope the time will come
When you and I will be as one.
I love my love and this she knows
I love the ground whereon he goes
He's the prettiest face and the neatest of hands,
I love the ground where on he stands.

i looking for the lyrics than the guitar man sang in this song

This is Roud 3103, an old Scottish ballad. Nina Simone kicks ass in this version!

I so love Simone to the truth upon her reachings. She is a blessed soul upon a woman. Amen! Simone is a truly gifted of a history upon an artist upon times known. I know my ancestor in Boston became slave owners. But one in a bought to history became the first ever to own property in history as a black slave for all who no one treated so inhumanly as the south
