听歌学英语:Moorlough Shore（The Corrs
爱尔兰是个美丽的国家，也是一片音乐的圣土，这里孕育出了无数优秀的歌手与乐队：U2，ENYA，Sinead Oconnor，The Cranberries，以及让无数少女痴迷Boyzone和Westlife。The Corrs是来自爱尔兰的一支家庭组合，成立于1990年，他们的风格是将爱尔兰民谣的纯朴、干净融入了现代流行音乐元素，使The Corrs在爱尔兰乃至全世界的流行音乐组合中独树一帜。我们今天要学习的这首Moorlough Shore，出自The Corrs 2005发行的《HOME》专辑。这首歌讲的是一个女孩心爱的一个士兵或许已经不在人世，虽然女孩心知肚明，却不愿面对残酷现实，不断地为自己做着悲伤美丽的假设。
Your hills and dales and flowery vales
That lie near the Moorlough Shore
Your vines that blow by Borden's grove
Will I ever see you more
Where the primrose glows
And the violet grows
Where the trout and salmon play
With my line and hook delight I took
To spend my youthful days
Last night I went to see my love
to hear what she might say
To see if she'd take pity on me
Lest I might go away
She said, "I loved an Irish lad
And he was my only joy
And ever since I saw his face
I have loved that soldier boy."
Perhaps your soldier lad is lost
Sailing over the sea of Maine
Or perhaps he's gone with some other one
You may never see him again
Well if my Irish lad is lost
He's the one I do adore
And seven years I'll wait for him
By the banks of the Moorlough Shore |
