听歌学英语:温暖醇美意境Moorlough Shore

The Corrs是一只独具爱尔兰凯尔特民族风格的乐团。他们小时候四个人常常聚在乐师父母亲楼上的卧房演唱，后来自然而然地朝向音乐之路发展。

Your hills and dales and flowery vales
that lie near the Moorlough Shore.
Your vines that blow by borden's grove¹.
will I ever see you more
山川河谷，漫山花丛
伏在那摩尔湖畔
蔓藤弯枝，随矿厂林间的微风轻轻摇动
我永远看你不够
Where the primrose² blows
and the violet grows.
Where the trout³ and salmon⁴ play.
With the line and hook, delight I took
to spend my youthful days.
在那迎春花
与紫百合摇曳的地方
在那鲑鱼与大麻哈鱼嬉戏的地方
伴随着吊线和鱼钩
任我的青春飞扬

Last night I went to see my love,
and to hear what she might say.
To see if she'd take pity on me,
lest I might go away.
昨夜去见她,
她会说些什么
她是否会眷恋我
我怕我或许会离去

She said, "I love that Irish lad,
and he was my only joy,
and ever since I saw his face
I've loved that soldier boy."
而她说
我爱这个爱尔兰小伙
他是我唯一的快乐
对这个士兵小伙子我一见钟情

Perhaps your soldier lad is lost
sailing over the sea of Maine.
Or perhaps he is gone with some other one,
you may never see him again.
也许你的士兵小伙子
在缅因海上迷失了航向
或者他也许和另一个姑娘远走他乡
而你可能再也见不到他

Well if my Irish lad is lost,
he's the one I do adore,
and seven years I will wait for him
by the banks of the Moorlough Shore.
就算我的爱尔兰小伙子不在了
他仍旧是那个我爱慕的人
从今往后的七年里,在摩尔湖畔的土堆旁
我会一直等着他
