音樂已成為我目前唯一可直接觸碰到的愛爾蘭
讓我用音樂再帶你們遇見愛爾蘭
She Moved Through The Fair
是我喜愛的愛爾蘭民謠之一
由愛爾蘭裔的加拿大歌手Loreena McKennitt唱起來
十分感人



She Moved Through the Fair

Arranger:Van Morrison/Paddy Moloney

My young love said to me,
My mother won’t mind
And my father won’t slight you
For your lack of kind.
and She stepped away from me
And this she did say,
”It will not be long love
Till our wedding day”.

She went away from me
And she moved through the fair
And fondly I watched her move here
And move there.
And she went her way homeward

With one star awake,
As the swan in the evening
Moved over the lake.

People saying
But one hand


My young love came in.
So softly she entered,
That her feet made no din.
And she came close beside me
And this she did say,
”It will not be long love
Till our wedding day”.

Star Of The County Down
Arranger:Van Morrison/Paddy Moloney

In Banbridge Town in the County Down
One morning last July,
From a boreen green came a sweet colleen
And she smiled as she passed me by.
She looked so sweet fronn her two bare feet
To the sheen of her nut brown hair.
Such a coaxing elf, sure I shook myself
For to see I was really there.

Chorus:
From Bantry Bay up to Derry Quay and
From Galway to Dublin Town,
No maid I’ve seen like the brown colleen
That I met in the County Down.

As she onward sped, sure I scratched my head,
And I looked with a feelin’ rare,
And I say’s, say’s I, to a passer-by,
”Whose the maid with the nut brown hair”?
He smiled at me and he says’s, say’s he,
”That’s the gem of Ireland’s crown.

It’s Rosie McCann from the banks of the Bann,
She’s the star of the County Down”.

Chorus:
From Bantry Bay up to Derry Ouay and
From Galway to Dublin Town,
No maid I’ve seen like the brown colleen
That I met in the County Down.

At the Harvest Fair she’ll be surely there
And I’ll dress in my Sunday clothes,
With my shoes shone bright and my hat cocked
Right for a smile from my nut brown rose.
No pipe I’ll smoke, no horse I’ll yoke
Till my plough turns rust coloured brown.
Till a smiling bride, by my own fireside
Sits the star of the County Down.

Chorus / Repeat

10.Marie’s Wedding
Arranger:Van Morrison/Paddy Moloney

Chorus:
Step we gaily on we go,
Heel and heel
And toe for toe,
Arm and arm
And row and row,
All for Marie’s wedding.

Over hillways, up and down,
Myrtle green and bracken brown,
Past the sheilings through the town
All for the sake of Marie.

Chorus

Red her cheeks as Rowan’s are,
Bright her eyes as any star.
Fairest of them all by far,
Is our darlin’ Marie.

Chorus
Plenty herring, plenty meal,
Plenty peat to fill her kreel.
Plenty bonnie bairns as well,
That’s the toast for Marie.

Repeat Chorus
