天籁的声音--Cara Dillon

admin

最近一直在听的一首歌，来自爱尔兰的女歌手Cara Dillon演唱的Craigie Hill，Cara Dillon出生于1975年，来自一个爱尔兰传统音乐世家。 14岁的时候，Cara Dillon就赢得了全爱尔兰传统歌唱比赛冠军。在开始她自己喜欢的事
业之前，她和她的伙伴Sam Lakeman和一家唱片公司签约想做流行歌手，可之后她们发现自己并不喜欢做流行音乐。于是她们出了一张凄美的民歌专集Cara Dillon/Rough Trade Records，出乎意料地赢得了广泛好评，Cara Dillon有着极少数人才有的美妙嗓音。
　　那个晚上，偶尔在西祠胡同听到这首歌，感觉忽然很安静。那淡淡的和音恰倒好处，推荐给大家～

It being in the springtime and the small birds they were singing,  
Down by yon shady harbour I carelessly did stray,  
The the thrushes they were warbling,  
The violets they were charming  
To view fond lovers talking, a while I did delay.  
She said, my dear don't leave me all for another season,  
Though fortune does be pleasing I 'll go along with you,  
I 'll forsake friends and relations and bid this Irish nation,  
And to the bonny Bann banks forever I 'll bid adieu.  
He said, my dear don't grieve or yet annoy my patience,  
You know I love you dearly the more I'm going away,  
I'm going to a foreign nation to purchase a plantation,  
To comfort us hereafter all in Amerika y.  
Then after a short while a fortune does be pleasing,  
T'will cause them for smile at our late going away,  
We'll be happy as Queen Victoria, all in her greatest glory,  
We'll be drinking wine and porter all in Amerika y.  
If you were in your bed lying and thinking on dying,  
The sight of the lovely Bann banks, your sorrow you'd give o'er,  
Or if were down one hour, down in yon shady bower,  
Pleasure would surround you, you'd think on death no more.  
Then fare you well, sweet Cragie Hills, where often times I've roved,  
I never thought my childhood days I 'd part you any more,  
Now we're sailing on the ocean for honour and promotion,  
And the bonny boats are sailing, way down by Doorin shore.
