| [00:00.78] |
Farewell(再见) to the groves(小树林) of shillelagh(爱尔兰橡树棍) and shamrock(白花酢浆草-爱尔兰国花) |
| [00:09.73] |
Farewell to the wee(小的) girls of old Ireland all round |
| [00:19.85] |
May their hearts be as merry as ever I would wish them |
| [00:30.45] |
When far far away across the ocean I'm bound |
| [00:41.89] |
|
| [00:43.27] |
Oh my father is old and my mother is quite feeble(虚弱的) |
| [00:53.02] |
To leave their own country it grieves(使伤心) their hearts sore(疼痛的) |
| [01:03.56] |
Oh the tears in great drops down their cheeks they are rolling |
| [01:14.72] |
To think they must die upon some foreign shore |
| [01:25.88] |
|
| [01:30.98] |
But what matters to me where my bones may be buried |
| [01:40.31] |
If in peace and contentment(满足) I can spend my life |
| [01:50.13] |
Oh the green fields of Canada they daily are blooming |
| [02:01.60] |
It's there I'll put an end to my miseries(苦难) and strife(斗争). |
| [02:11.90] |
|
| [02:12.35] |
so pack up your seastores(?) and tarry(踌躇) no longer |
| [02:22.77] |
Ten dollars a week isn't very bad pay; |
| [02:32.30] |
With no taxes or tithes to devour(吞噬) up your wages |
| [02:43.93] |
When you're on the green fields of Amerikay(=old Irish name for North America) |
| [02:52.89] |
|
| [03:29.83] |
The sheep run unshorn and the land's gone to rushes(?) |
| [03:38.79] |
The handyman's(杂务工) gone and the winders of creels(纺织工) |
| [03:49.02] |
Away across the ocean good journeyman tailors |
| [03:57.91] |
And fiddlers that play out the old mountain tunes. |
| [04:07.90] |
|
| [04:08.19] |
Farewell to the dances in homes now deserted, |
| [04:18.86] |
When tips struck the lightening in splanks(=sparks) from the floor, |
| [04:29.25] |
The paving(铺筑过的路面) and rigging(绳索) of hobnails(乡下佬) on flagstones(石板) |
| [04:40.69] |
The tears of the old folk and shouts of encore(再来一个). |
| [04:50.82] |
|
| [04:56.08] |
For the landlords(地主) and bailiffs(地主管家) in vile(卑鄙的) combination(共谋), |
| [05:04.68] |
Have forced us from hearthstone(炉底石) and homestead(家园) away |
| [05:13.89] |
May the crowbar(撬棍) brigade(大队) all be doomed(毁灭) to damnation(指责；咒骂) |
| [05:23.69] |
When we're on the green fields of Americay. |
| [05:32.24] |
|
| [05:34.00] |
And it's now to conclude and to finish my story |
| [05:43.54] |
If ever friendless Irishmen chances my way |
| [05:53.06] |
With the best in the house I will treat him, and welcome |
| [06:05.00] |
At home in the green fields of Amerikay. |
| [06:15.08] |
The Green Fields of Canada |
