【魅力女声】Charles Edward Stuart--Moira Kerr

admin

  Moira Kerr是苏格兰歌手、词作家。她从三岁开始唱歌，
后来顺理成章地成为歌手。她的歌一般都是关于苏格兰和
高地，以一种独特的视角表达了她对祖国的热爱。









而且，她的歌题材广泛，如Maclain of Glencoe描写
的是Glen Coe大屠杀，而这首歌讲述的是Charles
Edward Stuart的英雄事迹。






第一次听到这首歌的时候喜欢它是因为它朗朗上口的
旋律，而让我迷恋上它的则是这首歌的歌词——没有
矫揉造作与无病呻吟，故事的叙述简单但却不乏深度。

Charles Edward Stuart
He came across the water
From France to this green Isle
And here in Scotlan they all loved his eloquence and style
He soon became so popular
This confident young man
And he gained this staunch allegiance of many Scottish clans
Charles Edward Stuard was his name
To gain a crowned Scotland was his aim
He strongly challenged England's monarchy
And changed the course of Scotland's history
He brought the clans together
As no other of that day
And the Jacobite rebellion was truly on the way
Though they bravely fought for the freedom the kings might not give
And Scotland was hopelessly dying upon the Culloden's field

Charles Edward Stuard was his name
To gain a crowned Scotland was his aim
He strongly challenged England's monarchy
And changed the course of Scotland's history
In hot pursuit, the red coats
Gave chase when Charlie fled
And the price of 30,000 pounds was placed upon his head
But unbetrayed he let the English troops a merry dance
And then in September (17)46 he sailed back home to France
Charles Edward Stuard was his name
To gain a crowned Scotland was his aim
He strongly challenged England's monarchy
And changed the course of Scotland's history
Then came the bans no clan chiefs
No bagpipes to be played
No Gaelic to be spoken
Not another kilt displayed
Yes the battle of Culloden was Prince Charles the Great defeat
And made the disintegration of the clans almost complete
Charles Edward Stuard was his name
To gain a crowned Scotland was his aim
He strongly challenged England's monarchy
And changed the course of Scotland's history
Charles Edward Stuard was his name
To gain a crowned Scotland was his aim
He strongly challenged England's monarchy
And changed the course of Scotland's history
He changed the course of Scotland's history
He changed the course of Scotland's history
