The Green Fields of America歌词完整版
The Green Fields of America - The Chieftains
Farewell to the groves of shillelagh and the shamrock
再见了 橡木林和三叶草
Farewell to the girls of old Ireland all 'round
再见了 随处可见的来自古老爱尔兰的姑娘们
And may their hearts be as merry as ever they could wish for
愿她们的心像她们希望中的一样快乐
As far away o'er the ocean I'm bound
我被束缚在远隔重洋的地方
My father is old and my mother's right feeble
我的父母都已年老体弱
To leave their own country it would grieve their heart sore
背井离乡让他们心里难过
Oh the tears down their cheeks in great floods they are rolling
一想到我会在某个遥远的异国海岸终老
To think that I must die upon some far and foreign shore
他们就泪流满面
But what matter to me where my bones they may lie buried
但是我不在乎我最终埋骨何处
If in peace and contentment I can spend my life
如果我能在平和与满足中度过一生
The green fields of Amerikay they daily are calling
美国的绿野日日呼唤着我
It's there I'll find an end to my misery and strife
在那里 我会不会看到痛苦和争斗的终结
So pack up your sea stores now consider it no longer
所以整理好你的航海用品 不要再犹豫
Ten dollars a week isn't very bad pay
一周十美元并不是个小数目
With no taxes or tithe there to devour up your wages
没有苛捐杂税来侵吞你的薪水
Across on the green fields of Amerikay
在美国的绿野上纵横驰骋
The lint dams are gone and the looms are lying idle
棉线和织布机闲置着
Gone are the winders of baskets and creels
鱼篮和绕线机也远去了
And away o'er the ocean go journeyman cowboys
远隔重洋的那边 有熟练的工人和牛仔
And fiddlers who play out the old mountain reels
小提琴手在群山中演奏出美妙的乐曲
Ah but I mind the time when old Ireland was flourishing
但是我在意古老的爱尔兰繁荣的时期
And most of her tradesmen did work for good pay
那时大部分的商人都能收到丰厚的回报
Ah but since our manufacturers have crossed the Atlantic
但是 自从我们的厂商越过大西洋 一切就变了
Well it's now that I must follow onto Amerikay
所以现在我必须跟随他们的脚步去美国
And now to conclude and to finish my ditty
现在去结束我的小调
If e'er a friendless Irishman should happen my way
如果我在路上碰见一个没有朋友的爱尔兰人
With the best in the house I will greet him and welcome him
我会在家里好好款待他
At home on the green fields of Amerikay
在美国绿野上的家中
So pack up your sea stores now consider it no longer
所以 现在整理好你的航海用品 不要再犹豫
Ten dollars a week isn't very bad pay
一周十美元不是个小数目
With no taxes or tithe there to devour up your wages
没有苛捐杂税来侵吞你的薪水
Across on the green fields of Amerikay
在美国的绿野上纵横驰骋
