She Moved Through The Fair

arranged and adapted by Loreena McKennitt

我的愛人告訴我
My love said to me
我的母親不介意
My Mother wont mind
父親也不會怠慢你
And me Father wont slight you
即使你沒有牛羊
For your lack of kind
於是她離我遠去了
Then she stepped away from me
她這樣說的
And this she did say
“要不了多久，愛人，
It will not be long love
就是我們的婚期。
Till our wedding day
她離我遠去了

接著她從集市中穿過
She stepped away from me
我深情地註視著她
And she moved through the fair
來來回回
And fondly I watched her
她在往她的家而去
Move here and move there
一顆星星懸在天空
And she went her way homeward
夜色下的鵝群
With one star awake
在湖面游弋
As the swans in the evening
人們都在說
Move over the lake
他們兩個沒有結婚

但是其中一個承受著傷痛
The people were saying
人們未曾說
No two eer were wed
她微笑著經過我身旁
But one has a sorrow
推著她的貨物和推車
That never was said
那是最後一次
And she smiled as she passed me
我見到我的愛人
With her goods and her gear
我昨晚夢見

我的真愛歸來
And that was the last
輕輕地走進屋子
That I saw of my dear.
悄然無聲

她走近到我身旁
I dreamed it last night
然後說
That my true love came in
“要不了多久，愛人，
So softly she entered
就是我們的婚期。 ”
Her feet made no din
完
she came close beside me
And this she did say
It will not be long love
Till our wedding day.
