Atlan的歌曲
這是一首愛爾蘭民歌。
歌曲講述的是一個父親把二十四歲的女兒嫁給一個十四歲的富家子弟,女兒不願意,擔心等到丈夫長大了,自己已經老了。但是父親說自己的安排沒錯,她把女兒嫁給有錢的年輕人,等他老了,女兒就有人能依靠。但是後來那個富家子弟還沒長大就死了,女孩非常悲傷,在綠草如茵的墓地上用法蘭絨為他織壽衣。
歌詞:
The trees they grow high,the leaves they do grow green,
Many is the time my true love I've seen,
Many an hour I have watched him all alone.
He's young but he's daily growing.
Father,dear father,you've done my great wrong,
You have married me to a boy who is too young,I am twice twelve and he is but fourteen,
He's young but he's daily growing.
Daughter, dear daughter, I've done you no wrong,
I have married you to a great lord's son,
He will be a man for you when I am dead and gone,
He's young but he's daily growing
Father, dear father, if you see fit,
We'll send him to college for another year yet,
I'll tie a blue ribbon all around his head,
To let the maidens know that he is married.
One day I was looking over my father's castle wall,
I spied all the boys playing with a ball,
And my own true love was the flower of them all,
He's young but he's daily growing.
And so early in the morning at the dawning of the day,
They went into a hayfield to have some sport and play,
And what they did there she never would declare,
But she never more complained of his growing.
At the age of fourteen he was a married man,
At the age of fifteen the father of my son,
At the age of sixteen his grave it was green,
And death had put an end to his growing.
I'll buy my love some flannel, I'll make my love a shroud,
With every stitch I put in it, the tears they will pour down,
With every stitch I put in it, how the tears they will flow,
Cruel fate has put an end to his growing.
