Celtic Shores - She's like the swallow 加拿大民歌


She's like the swallow that flies so high
She's like the river that never runs dry
She's like the sunshine on the lee shore
I love my love but love is no more

'Twas down in the garden this fair maid did go
Plucking the beautiful primrose
The more she plucked the more she did pull
Until she had her apron full

Then from these flowers she made a bed
A stony pillow was at her head
She lay down and no word she spake
Until this fair maid's heart did break

    • 标题很吸引人,但内容不够深刻,望继续努力。
      • 问题发现很及时, 但是没有解决办法, 望今后有所突破,,,,
    • 喜欢!而且骄傲!如果这果真是加拿大民歌。
      • newfoundland的民歌,有很多不同的版本,包括”Cara Dillon“,这个版本是一个14岁的农家小女孩唱的。。。
        'She's Like the Swallow'. Distinctive Newfoundland variant of a large family of songs about unhappy love. Both Maud Karpeles (1930) and Kenneth Peacock (1960) collected it, and its beautiful tune has made it popular with many singers. It has been arranged for choral and other use by several composers, including Peter Allen, Keith Bissell, Norman Brown, James Campbell, Craig Cassils, Donald Cook, Alfred Kunz, Ben McPeek, Godfrey Ridout, and Harry Somers.

        The last song "She's Like a Swallow" sung by a 14 year old peasant girl, is a 'tear your heart out' rendition of a Newfoundland Celtic song, sure to evoke a wretching of the heart, but truly beautiful in a lonely way
        • sure to evoke a wretching of the heart, but truly beautiful in a lonely way .....确实如此,听呆了,并叹!
          • 嗯,最早知道的加拿大民歌是红河谷,也是这种类型的。
        • 寒冷的荒野,大海,低的天空,银灰色的云。不动声色的风笛,不起涟漪的心。。悠远的爱和忧伤..
        • 如果你对加拿大民歌有了解,可以推荐一些CD吗?我很喜欢。尤其是深沉含蓄一点的。很有特色。
          • 这首是Celtic shores专辑中的,里面还收有爱尔兰的民歌像"Siuil a Ruin",我放在下面。
            加拿大的民歌经常在Radio里有放的,不过大多时候我听完就忘了。有兴趣了解的话可以去下面的网站看看,发现好听的大家可以在这里多交流: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Music_of_Canada
      • Cara Dillon 版的,感觉要欢快点。


        She's like a swallow that flies so high
        She's like the river that never runs dry
        She's like the sunshine on the lee shore
        She loves her love and love is no more

        'Tis out in the meadow this fair maid did go
        Picking the lovely primrose
        The more she plucked the more she pulled
        Until she's got her apron full

        She climbed on yonder hill above
        To give a rose unto her love
        She gave him one, she gave him three
        She gave her heart for company

        And as they sat on yonder hill
        His heart grew hard, so harder still
        He has two hearts instead of one
        She says, young man what have you done

        How foolish, foolish you must be
        To think I loved no one but thee
        This world 's not made for one alone
        I take delight in every home

        • 很纯净。也喜欢。
    • Celtic Shores - Siúil A Rúin 爱乐兰民歌

      I would I were on yonder hill
      'Tis there I'd sit and cry my fill
      And every tear would turn a mill
      Is go dtí tú mo mhuirnín slán
      Chorus

      Siúil, siúil, siúil a rúin
      Siúil go sochair agus siúil go ciúin
      Siúil go doras agus ealaigh liom
      Is go dtí tú mo mhuirnín slán
      I'll sell my rock, I'll sell my reel
      I'll sell my only spinning wheel
      To buy my love a sword of steel
      Is go dtí tú mo mhuirnín slán
      I'll dye my petticoats, I'll dye them red
      And it's round the world I'll beg for bread
      Until my parents shall wish me dead
      Is go dtí tú mo mhuirnín slán

      I wish, I wish, I wish in vain
      I wish I had my heart again
      And vainly think I'd not complain
      Is go dtí tú mo mhuirnín slán
      And now my love has gone to France
      to try his fortune to advance
      If he e'er comes back 'tis but a chance
      Is go dtí tú mo mhuirnín slán

    • 说起Celtic风格,想起了今年夏天作过巡回演出的纽芬兰乡土摇滚(Folk-Rock)乐队Great Big Sea,各位是否听过?里面有一首。。。

      "Sea Of No Cares"
      -- by Great Big Sea

      When you're in love, there's no time and no space
      There's a permanent smile on your face
      Your friends all complain that you're going insane
      But the truth is they're just afraid

      [Chorus]
      Hey somewhere,
      you threw your fear in the Sea of No Cares
      Hey somewhere,
      you threw your fear in the Sea of No Cares

      When you decide that what counts is inside
      Your friends all say it's a lie
      But there's no brighter light than the look in her eyes
      When you're walking her home through the night

      [Chorus]

      [Bridge]
      Let your self go with the tide
      There's an angel by your side
      Tonight

      Back at the bar getting cynically stoned
      Your friends are drinking alone
      But it's funny, they don't even cross your mind
      When she asks you into her home

      [Chorus x2]
