原歌词

[00:08.32]	Near banbridge town in the county down
[00:10.39]	One morning last july,
[00:12.68]	Down a bóithrín green came a sweet cailín
[00:15.74]	And she smiled as she passed me by.
[00:17.98]	She looked so sweet from her two bare feet
[00:21.36]	To the sheen of her nut brown hair.
[00:23.41]	Such a coaxing elf, sure I shook myself
[00:26.34]	For to see I was really there.
[00:28.57]	From bantry bay up to derry quay and
[00:31.74]	From galway to dublin town,
[00:34.01]	No maid I've seen like the brown colleen
[00:37.09]	That I met in the county down.
[00:43.94]	As she onward sped, sure I scratched my head,
[00:46.66]	And I looked with a feelin' rare,
[00:48.70]	And I say's, say's i, to a passer-by,
[00:51.83]	"whose the maid with the nut brown hair"? “
[00:54.10]	He smiled at me and he says's, say's he,
[00:57.14]	"that's the gem of ireland's crown. “
[00:59.61]	She's rosie mccann from the banks of the bann,
[01:02.57]	She's the star of the county down".
[01:05.05]	From bantry bay up to derry quay and
[01:07.90]	From galway to dublin town,
[01:10.24]	No maid I've seen like the brown colleen
[01:13.11]	That I met in the county down.
[01:15.94]	...
[01:21.02]	At the harvest fair she'll be surely there
[01:25.07]	And I'll dress in my sunday clothes,
[01:29.73]	Right for a smile from my nut brown rose.
[01:39.89]	No pipe I'll smoke, no horse I'll yoke
[01:45.35]	Till my plough turns rust coloured brown.
[01:49.68]	Till a smiling bride, by my own fireside
[01:55.27]	Sits the star of the county down.
[01:59.21]	...
[02:14.99]	From bantry bay up to derry ouay and
[02:17.40]	From galway to dublin town,
[02:19.14]	No maid I've seen like the brown colleen
[02:22.35]	That I met in the county down.

歌词翻译

[00:08.32]	班布里奇小镇附近
[00:10.39]	去年七月的一个早晨
[00:12.68]	绿茵小道上走来一个可爱的姑娘
[00:15.74]	她微笑着与我擦肩而过
[00:17.98]	赤着脚丫的她如此可爱
[00:21.36]	栗色的头发熠熠闪光
[00:23.41]	真是个迷人的精灵我摇醒自己
[00:26.34]	提醒自己确实没做梦
[00:28.57]	从班特里海湾到德里码头
[00:31.74]	从戈尔韦到都柏林
[00:34.01]	我再没见过其他的少女
[00:37.09]	比得上南方小镇遇见的姑娘
[00:43.94]	她快步走在前面，我只能无力挠头
[00:46.66]	怀着莫名的情绪我默默看着她
[00:48.70]	我支吾着问路人
[00:51.83]	那个栗色头发的姑娘是谁？”
[00:54.10]	他微笑着告诉我
[00:57.14]	她是爱尔兰王冠上的宝石
[00:59.61]	她是来自班恩河之岸的小罗茜麦肯
[01:02.57]	她是南方小镇的星”
[01:05.05]	从班特里海湾到德里码头
[01:07.90]	从戈尔韦到都柏林
[01:10.24]	我再没见过其他的少女
[01:13.11]	比得上南方小镇遇见的姑娘
[01:15.94]
[01:21.02]	她将在收获祭上出现
[01:25.07]	我将穿上节日盛装
[01:29.73]	只为等待我栗色玫瑰的一个微笑
[01:39.89]	我将不再抽烟也不再骑马
[01:45.35]	直到我的我的犁锈成棕色
[01:49.68]	直到我的炉边，坐着我含笑的新娘
[01:55.27]	那南方小镇的星
[01:59.21]
[02:14.99]	从班特里海湾到德里码头
[02:17.40]	从戈尔韦到都柏林
[02:19.14]	我再没见过其他的少女
[02:22.35]	比得上南方小镇遇见的姑娘
