《The Nightingale》歌词

[00:00:00] The Nightingale - The Celtic Mood Players

[00:00:04] As I was a walking and a rambling on day

[00:00:09] I spied a young couple so fondly did stray

[00:00:16] And one was a young maide so sweet and so fair

[00:00:20] And the other one was a soldier and a brave grenadier

[00:00:25] And they kissed so sweet and comforting as they clung to each other

[00:00:31] They went arm and arm down the road like sister and brother

[00:00:37] They went arm and arm down the road till they came to a stream

[00:00:42] And they both sat down together love to hear the nightingale sing

[00:00:49] Then out of his knapsack he drew a fine fiddle

[00:00:54] And he played her such merry tunes that you ever did hear

[00:01:00] And he played her such merry tunes that the valleys did ring

[00:01:05] Oh softly cried the fair maide hear the nightingale sing

[00:01:10] And they kissed so sweet and comforting as they clung to each other

[00:01:15] They went arm and arm down the road like sister and brother

[00:01:22] They went arm and arm down the road till they came to a stream

[00:01:27] And they both sat down together love to hear the nightingale sing

[00:01:56] Oh then said the fair maide won't you merry me

[00:02:01] Oh no said the soldier however could that be

[00:02:08] For i've me own wife at home in the old country

[00:02:13] And she is the fairest little thing that you ever did see

[00:02:18] And they kissed so sweet and comforting as they clung to each other

[00:02:23] They went arm and arm down the road like sister and brother

[00:02:30] They went arm and arm down the road till they came to a stream

[00:02:35] And they both sat down together love to hear the nightingale sing

[00:02:41] Now I'm off to india for several long years

[00:02:46] Drinking wine and strong whiskey instead of pale beer

[00:02:53] But if ever I return again it will be in the spring

[00:02:58] And we'll both sit down together love to hear the nightingale sing

[00:03:03] And they kissed so sweet and comforting as they clung to each other

[00:03:08] They went arm and arm down the road like sister and brother

[00:03:15] They went arm and arm down the road till they came to a stream

[00:03:20] And they both sat down together love to hear the nightingale sing
