Bantry Girls Lament
Joanie Madden
Bantry Girls Lament 歌詞
Oh, Who will plough the fields now or who will sow the corn?
誰來耕耘誰來播種
And who will mind the sheep now and keep them neatly shorn?
誰還會在意羊群把它們修剪乾淨
The stack that's in the haggard, unthrashed it may remain
穀物未曾打過隨便在院中堆放
Since Johnny's went a-thrashing the dirty king of Spain
因為喬治已經出發去對抗卑鄙的西班牙王
就寢時滿帶悲傷的少女
The girls from the bawnogue in sorrow may retire
風笛手回到家中在火爐邊鼓起了他的風箱
And the piper and his bellows go home and blow the fire
因為喬治親愛的喬治正在海上搏擊風浪
Since Johnny, lovely Johnny is sailing o'er the main
與其他的愛國者一起,去對抗兇暴的西班牙王
Along with other patriots to fight the King of Spain
當敵人在周圍出現將勾起他們的思念
哀傷的他們勇敢的首領到處找尋不見
The boys will surely miss him when Moneymore comes round
粗俗懶散的衛兵不得不忙碌在穀倉
And they'll find that their bold captain is nowhere to be found
因為英勇的男孩子們已經去對抗貪婪的西班牙王
And the peelers must stand idle, all against their will and main
在清晨急行的隊伍中
Since the gallant boys who gave them work now peels the King of Spain
再也等不到你回來講述英勇的事蹟
再也看不到你與傲慢的貴族作戰
At wakes or hurling matches your like we'll never see
因為我們目光所及也無法看到你經歷的痛苦
Till you come back to us again a stor gra geal mo chroi
如果命運無情使你再不回返
And won't you thrash the buckeens that show us much disdain
因為失去了你,我們將永不停止思念
Because our eyes are not so bright as those you'll meet in Spain
不再歡笑在傷痛和悲傷中走向死亡
喬治戰死在遙遠的他鄉為了愛爾蘭的榮耀
If cruel fate will not permit our Johnny to return
His heavy loss we Bantry girls will never cease to mourn
We'll resign ourselves to our sad lot and die in grief and pain
Since Johnny died for Ireland說pride int和foreign land of Spain<比如>
