The Wind That Shakes The Barley

I sat within the valley green
I sat me with my true love.
My sad heart strove the two between
The old love and the new love.

我坐在一片翠綠的山谷
坐在我愛人的身旁。
憂傷的心在兩者中掙扎
舊愛的與新的愛情

The old for her the new
That made me think on Ireland dearly.
While soft the wind blew down the glade
and shook the golden barley.

舊愛是她 而新歡
是令我想起故鄉的愛爾蘭
當柔風吹過林地
彿動金黃色的大麥

T'was hard the woeful words to frame
To break the ties that bound us.
But harder still to bear the shame
of foreign chains around us.

難以忍痛說出絕決的話，
切斷我們之間的牽絆
更難忍受的恥辱
就是外族統治的枷鎖。

And so I said the mountain glen
I'll meet at morning early.
And I'll join the bold united men
While soft winds shook the barley.

於是我說：山谷啊！

我會一早便來尋你

參加那勇敢的愛爾蘭戰士
當柔風吹動麥浪

T'was sad I kissed away her tears
My fond arm round her flinging.
When a foe, man's shot burst on our ears
From out the wild woods ringing.

憂傷的我吻去她淚水
兩臂緊抱著她
敵人槍聲從耳邊掠過
從野外呯啪地響著

A bullet pierced my true love's side
In live's young spring so early.
And on my breast in blood she died
While soft winds shook the barley.

一顆子彈穿透我的真愛
正當她生命的早春年華
她倒在我懷裡浴血死去
當柔風吹動麥浪

But blood for blood without remorse
I've ta'en at oulart hollow.
I've lain my true love's clay like corpse
Where I full soon must follow.

以血還血無怨無悔
就在奧勒之地(註) 1798年愛爾蘭人反抗英國軍隊的一場重要戰役的地方

我埋葬愛人身體
在那裡我將會相隨

他們運用了大膽激進的戰略，果然成功迫使英軍簽下了終戰協定。可惜這只是

表面的勝利與平靜…，當愛爾蘭獨立成功，北愛爾蘭卻在協議下慘遭犧牲，
