淡淡的忧郁的歌声,一段凄凉刻骨的悲剧:Altan-Daily Growing
一个女子在年轻的时候由于父亲的安排嫁给了一个显贵的子弟,她开始担心自己的年龄有一天会成为感情悲剧的主因,她埋怨父亲错误的将自己嫁给了一个比她小很多的男子。婚后第二年,他们有了自己的孩子,而她的夫君却也还是一个孩子,在一天天的长大。她送他去上学,为他裹了蓝色的头巾,她怕别人抢走父亲为自己选定依存的真爱。而命运的捉弄,却使她很快成了寡妇,在为爱人缝制寿衣的时候,她的悲哀成了整个曲子的灵魂……
一首来自 Altan的凯尔特元歌曲,很平静的,声音没有任何感情色彩,曲调没有任何修饰,简单的吉它和风笛中,低沉而流畅的声音不动声色的讲述着一个故事,给人纯净的感觉。在细微的民族风情中,忧伤与爱慢慢流淌着,渐渐渗入心底。歌曲改编自民歌The Bonny Boy或称The Trees They Do Grow High,演唱者是Ní Mhaonaigh和Paul Brady。
Altan, 这是一支被誉为90年代最杰出的一支爱尔兰传统民谣乐团 。他们现在的演奏不只是局限在爱尔兰音乐,而是扩展到摇滚、蓝调、爵士乃至乡村音乐等多种范畴,这些不同风格的音乐在他们具有浓厚的爱尔兰特色的手法演奏之下,更加具有别样的风情。也许正因为此,埃尔顿乐队在新世纪里焕发出了崭新的活力。美国BILLBORD排行榜曾这样评价埃尔顿乐队:“埃尔顿乐队演奏的音乐不属于任何音乐分支,他们所做的是打破民族音乐、世界音乐与摇滚音乐之间的一切文化隔阂。”
The trees they grow high, and the leaves they do grow green,
树已长高,叶子已变绿
Many is the time my true love I've seen,
多少次我看着这一切如同望着我的爱人
Many an hour I have watched him all alone,
许多时候我都在孤单地注视着他
He's young but he's daily growing.
他很年轻但他在一天天长大
Father, dear father, you've done me great wrong,
父亲,亲爱的父亲, 你犯了一个很大的错误
You have married me to a boy who is too young,
你把我嫁给了一个那么年轻的男孩
I am twice twelve and he is but fourteen,
我已经24了而他才14岁
He's young but he's daily growing.
他很年轻, 但我想他会日渐成长
Daughter, dear daughter, I've done you no wrong,
女儿, 我亲爱的女儿,我并没有做错
I have married you to a great lord's son,
我把你嫁给了一个显耀贵族的儿子
He will be a man for you when I am dead and gone,
有一天当我不在了他会很好地照顾你
He's young but he's daily growing
他现在很年轻,但他会一天天成长
Father, dear father, if you see fit,
父亲,亲爱的父亲,如果你同意
We'll send him to college for another year yet,
在来年我们把他送到大学去
I'll tie a blue ribbon all around his head,
我会为他裹上蓝色的头巾
To let the maidens know that he is married.
让别人知道他已经结婚了
One day I was looking over my father's castle wall,
一天我从父亲的城墙上远望
I spied all the boys playing with a ball,
我看到男孩们正在打球
And my own true love was the flower of them all,
而我的爱人是当中的佼佼
He's young but he's daily growing.
他现在很年轻但他在一天天成长
And so early in the morning at the dawning of the day,
时值清晨,在拂晓时分
They went into a hayfield to have some sport and play,
他们来到草地上玩耍嬉闹
And what they did there she never would declare,
他们在那儿所做的一切她永远也不会说出来
But she never more complained of his growing.
但她从此不再嘟哝他的成长
At the age of fourteen he was a married man,
14岁时,他已为人夫
At the age of fifteen the father of my son,
15岁时,他已为人父
At the age of sixteen his grave it was green,
16岁时,他的坟墓郁郁苍苍
And death had put an end to his growing.
死亡为他的成长画上了句号
I'll buy my love some flannel, I'll make my love a shroud,
我要给我的爱人买绒服, 给他做寿衣
With every stitch I put in it, the tears they will pour down,
每缝一针,眼泪就默默流淌
With every stitch I put in it, how the tears they will flow,
一针又一针, 我不知如何控制我的泪水
Cruel fate has put an end to his growing.
也许是命运的捉弄, 他就这样走完他的一生
