走进一首歌的故事

Cara Dillon

        歌，以其两处动人，旋律和唱词，而我则更爱后者。闲来译一爱尔兰民谣，拟古四言，聊以自娱心意。

It being in the springtime

and the small birds they were singing，

春之时节    百鸟啁啼

Down by yon shady harbour，

I carelessly did stray，

余沿港荫    来路竟迷

The thrushes they were warbling，

The violets they were charming，

鹛歌莺啼    娇兰紫衣

吐蕊舒香    亭亭植立

To view fond lovers talking，

a while I did delay.

适逢恋偶    互诉肠衷

驻足听闻    声漾容怡

She said,my dear

don't leave me for another season，

吾之良人    彼之四季

更迭游去    勿复分离

Though fortune does be pleasing

I 'll go along with you，

I 'll forsake friends and relations

and bid this holy nation，

命舛祚薄 伴君如故

牵挂了无 乡关并弃

And to the bonny Bann banks forever I 'll adieu.

柏恩河畔 细波柔掌

此去何悔 诚挚如一

He said,my dear

don't grieve

吾之良偶 悲伤无益

or yet annoy my patience，

徒销耐心 汝当知悉

You know I love you dearly the more I'm going away，

别君愈远 爱伊愈切

I'm going to a foreign nation

有美利坚 沃野千里

膏土广阔 富饶瑰丽

to purchase a plantation，

欲鬻一方 辟作田畦

To comfort us here after all in Amerikay.

得度余生 逸业安居

长久于此 相偎相依
