Carighfergus

(2008-09-27 21:22:09) 下一個

An old folk Irish song from Loreena McKennitt Elemental album 。
Cedric Smith的滄桑在Loreena的哀傷淒美和豎琴的清麗的陪存下更顯淒涼和無奈。



I wish I was in Carrighfergus,
Only for nights in Ballygran
I would swim over the deepest ocean,
Only for nights in Ballygrant.

But the sea is wide, and I can't get over.
And neither have I wings to fly,
Oh! If I could find me a handsome boatsman
To ferry me over to my love and die.

Now in Kilkenny, it is reported,
They've marble stones there as black as ink
With gold and silver I would transport her
But I'll sing no more now, till I get a drink.


I'm drunk today, but Then I'm seldom sober.
A handsome rover from town to town.
Oh, but I am sick now, my days are over,
Come all you young lads and lay me down.


I wish I was in Carrighfergus,
Only for nights in Ballygran.
