[00:00:00] The Green Fields of America - The Chieftains/Kevin Conneff

[00:00:03] //

[00:00:03] Farewell to the groves of shillelagh and the shamrock

[00:00:10] 再见了 橡木林和三叶草

[00:00:10] Farewell to the girls of old Ireland all 'round

[00:00:18] 再见了 随处可见的来自古老爱尔兰的姑娘们

[00:00:18] And may their hearts be as merry as ever they could wish for

[00:00:29] 愿她们的心像她们希望中的一样快乐

[00:00:29] As far away o'er the ocean I'm bound

[00:00:39] 我被束缚在远隔重洋的地方

[00:00:39] My father is old and my mother's right feeble

[00:00:48] 我的父母都已年老体弱

[00:00:48] To leave their own country it would grieve their heart sore

[00:00:58] 背井离乡让他们心里难过

[00:00:58] Oh the tears down their cheeks in great floods they are rolling

[00:01:11] 一想到我会在某个遥远的异国海岸终老

[00:01:11] To think that I must die upon some far and foreign shore

[00:01:21] 他们就泪流满面

[00:01:21] But what matter to me where my bones they may lie buried

[00:01:30] 但是我不在乎我最终埋骨何处

[00:01:30] If in peace and contentment I can spend my life

[00:01:39] 如果我能在平和与满足中度过一生

[00:01:39] The green fields of Amerikay they daily are calling

[00:01:52] 美国的绿野日日呼唤着我

[00:01:52] It's there I'll find an end to my misery and strife

[00:02:02] 在那里 我会不会看到痛苦和争斗的终结

[00:02:02] So pack up your sea stores now consider it no longer

[00:02:10] 所以整理好你的航海用品 不要再犹豫

[00:02:10] Ten dollars a week isn't very bad pay

[00:02:20] 一周十美元并不是个小数目

[00:02:20] With no taxes or tithe there to devour up your wages

[00:02:33] 没有苛捐杂税来侵吞你的薪水

[00:02:33] Across on the green fields of Amerikay

[00:02:44] 在美国的绿野上纵横驰骋

[00:02:44] The lint dams are gone and the looms are lying idle

[00:02:55] 棉线和织布机闲置着

[00:02:55] Gone are the winders of baskets and creels

[00:03:03] 鱼篮和绕线机也远去了

[00:03:03] And away o'er the ocean go journeyman cowboys

[00:03:13] 远隔重洋的那边 有熟练的工人和牛仔

[00:03:13] And fiddlers who play out the old mountain reels

[00:03:23] 小提琴手在群山中演奏出美妙的乐曲

[00:03:23] Ah but I mind the time when old Ireland was flourishing

[00:03:33] 但是我在意古老的爱尔兰繁荣的时期

[00:03:33] And most of her tradesmen did work for good pay

[00:03:44] 那时大部分的商人都能收到丰厚的回报

[00:03:44] Ah but since our manufacturers have crossed the Atlantic

[00:03:57] 但是 自从我们的厂商越过大西洋 一切就变了

[00:03:57] Well it's now that I must follow onto Amerikay

[00:04:08] 所以现在我必须跟随他们的脚步去美国

[00:04:08] And now to conclude and to finish my ditty

[00:04:18] 现在去结束我的小调

[00:04:18] If e'er a friendless Irishman should happen my way

[00:04:27] 如果我在路上碰见一个没有朋友的爱尔兰人

[00:04:27] With the best in the house I will greet him and welcome him

[00:04:38] 我会在家里好好款待他

[00:04:38] At home on the green fields of Amerikay

[00:04:48] 在美国绿野上的家中

[00:04:48] So pack up your sea stores now consider it no longer

[00:04:59] 所以 现在整理好你的航海用品 不要再犹豫

[00:04:59] Ten dollars a week isn't very bad pay
