Bantry Girl’s Lament-Reeltime
Oh, Who will plough the fields now or who will sow the corn?
and who will mind the sheep now and keep them neatly shorn?
The stack that’s in the haggard, unthrashed it may remain
Since Johnny’s went a-thrashing the dirty king of Spain.
who the girls from the bawnogue in sorrow may retire
And the piper and his bellows go home and blow the fire
Since Johnny, lovely Johnny is sailing o’er the main
Along with other patriots to fight the King of Spain
and the boys will surely miss him when Money more comes round
And they’ll find that their bold captain is nowhere to be found
And the peelers must stand idle, all against their will and main
Since the gallant boys who gave them work now peels the King of Spain
At wakes or hurling matches your like we’ll never see
Till you come back to us again Mo storeen Bantry mo chroi.
And won’t you thrash the buckeens that show us much disdain
Because our eyes are not so bright as those you’ll meet in Spain
If cruel fate will not permit our Johnny to return
His heavy loss we Bantry girls will never cease to mourn
We’ll resign ourselves to our sad lod and die in grief and pain
Since Johnny died for Ireland’s pride in the foreign land of Spain
Oh, Who will plough the fields now or who will sow the corn?
and who will mind the sheep now and keep them neatly shorn?
The stack that’s in the haggard, unthrashed it may remain
Since Johnny’s went a-thrashing the dirty king of Spain
The stack that’s in the haggard, unthrashed it may remain
Since Johnny’s went a-thrashing to fight king of Spain.
谁来耕耘,谁来播种
谁还会在意羊群,把它们修剪干净?
谷物未曾打过,便在院中堆放
因为Johnny已经出发去对抗卑鄙的西班牙王。
来自Boyne的少女,就寝时满带悲伤
风笛手回到家中,在火炉边鼓起了他的风箱。
因为Johnny,亲爱的Johnny,正在海上搏击风浪
与其他的爱国者一起,去对抗凶暴的西班牙王。
当敌人在周围出现,将钩起他们的思念
哀伤他们勇敢的首领,到处找寻不见。
粗俗懒散的卫兵,不得不忙碌在谷仓
因为英勇的男孩子们,已经去对抗贪婪的西班牙王
在清晨急行的队伍中再也见不到你
再也等不到你回来讲述英勇的事迹。
再也看不到你与傲慢的贵族作战
因为我们目光所及,也无法看到你经历的苦难。
如果命运无情,使你再不回返
因为失去了你,我们将永不停止思念
不再欢笑,在伤痛和悲伤中走向死亡
为了爱尔兰的荣耀,Johnny战死在遥远的他乡
另一版本,续貂 :)
Bantry Girls Lament 班图少女之挽歌
Mary & Frances Black 黑玛莉姐妹
Oh, Who will plough the fields now or who will sow the corn?
哦,谁还会来这土地上耕作,谁还会来播种
and who will mind the sheep now and keep them neatly shorn?
谁还会来照料羊群,为它们修剪毛发
The stack that's in the haggard, unthrashed it may remain
那割下的谷穗早已枯槁,还没来得及脱粒
Since Johnny's went a-thrashing the dirty king of Spain.
因为Johnny已经离开,去给那可耻的西班牙暴君以痛击
who the girls from the bawnogue in sorrow may retire
bawnogue少女无法抑制悲伤
And the piper and his bellows go home and blow the fire
返乡的风笛手,笛声更催人泪下
Since Johnny, lovely Johnny is sailing o'er the main
因为亲爱的Johnny,随着爱国的人们
Along with other patriots to fight the King of Spain
扬帆绕过大陆,去打倒西班牙暴君
and the boys will surely miss him when Money more comes round
哪一天Moneymore光复,战士们必定不会把他忘记
And they'll find that their bold captain is nowhere to be found
但他们豪勇的首领,再无处找寻
And the peelers must stand idle, all against their will and main
那些木铲寂寞地倚着墙壁,无心无力
Since the gallant boys who gave them work now peels the King of Spain
曾用它们脱谷的人,现在要掀翻西班牙暴君
At wakes or hurling matches your like we'll never see
你夜戍和球赛时的英姿,再也无法得见
Till you come back to us again Mo storeen Bantry mo chroi.
你再也不会回来,我们无法止住伤悲
And won't you thrash the buckeens that show us much disdain
你再不能痛打那些蔑视我们的贵族
Because our eyes are not so bright as those you'll meet in Spain
为了正义的事业,你永远留在了西班牙
If cruel fate will not permit our Johnny to return
如果残酷的命运不许我们的Johnny归来
His heavy loss we Bantry girls will never cease to mourn
班图少女将永志哀悼
We'll resign ourselves to our sad lod and die in grief and pain
我们将终生怀抱悲伤,在哀痛中离世
Since Johnny died for Ireland's pride in the foreign land of Spain
为了爱尔兰的荣耀,Johnny战死在遥远的西班牙
Oh, Who will plough the fields now or who will sow the corn?
哦,谁还会来这土地上耕作,谁还会来播种
and who will mind the sheep now and keep them neatly shorn?
谁还会来照料羊群,为它们修剪毛发
The stack that's in the haggard, unthrashed it may remain
那割下的谷穗早已枯槁,还没来得及脱粒
Since Johnny's went a-thrashing the dirty king of Spain.
因为Johnny已经离开,去给那可耻的西班牙暴君以痛击
