Salley Garden 莎莉花园”是根据曾获1923年诺贝尔文学奖的爱尔兰著名诗人和剧作家叶芝(William Butler Yeats,1865~1939)的同名诗歌《Down By The Salley Garden》谱曲而成,轻声告诉人们对待爱情和生活,应当顺其自然,就像“绿叶长在树枝上”,就像“青草长在河堰上”。不然,会因为一时的“愚蠢”而遗恨。。
Down by the Salley Gardens 走进莎莉花园
My love and I did meet 我和我的爱人相遇
She passed the Salley Gardens 她穿越莎莉花园
With little snow-white feet 踏著雪白的纤足
She bid me take love easy 她请我轻柔的对待这份情
As the leaves grow on the tree 像依偎在树上的群叶
But I being young and foolish 但我是如此年轻而无知
With her did not agree 不曾细听她的心声
In a field by the river 在河流畔的旷野
My love and I did stand 我和我的爱人并肩伫立
And on my leaning shoulder 在我的微倾的肩膀
She laid her snow-white hand 是她柔白的手所倚
She bid me take life easy 她请我珍重生命
As the grass grows on the weirs 像生长在河堰的韧草
But I was young and foolish 但我是如此年轻而无知
And now am full of tears 如今只剩下无限的泪水
Down by the Salley Gardens 走进莎莉花园
My love and I did meet 我和我的爱人相遇
She passed the Salley Gardens 她穿越莎莉花园
With little snow-white feet 踏著雪白的纤足
She bid me take love easy 她请我轻柔的对待这份情
As the leaves grow on the tree 像依偎在树上的群叶
But I being young and foolish 但我是如此年轻而无知
With her did not agree 不曾细听她的心声
But I was young and foolish 但我是如此年轻而无知
And now am full of tears 如今只剩下无限的泪水
