《Killybegs》歌词

[00:00:00] Killybegs - The Chieftains

[00:00:13] My heart was warm with family love

[00:00:15] As I slipped into a chair

[00:00:18] Beside my Uncle John my

[00:00:20] Daughters 'cross the table there

[00:00:23] I'd walked the docks in misty rain;

[00:00:26] A pain was in my legs

[00:00:28] But I'd seen the dream of

[00:00:29] Kinsmen in the boats of Killybegs

[00:00:37] The ban'er of my Uncle and

[00:00:39] My daughters filled the air

[00:00:41] And the Donegalers next to us

[00:00:44] Were glad that we were there

[00:00:46] I was kind of quite listening

[00:00:49] Out the window ledge

[00:00:51] For the music of the harbour

[00:00:53] The birds of Killybegs

[00:01:04] Down the coast not far was Galway

[00:01:07] Planned the joys from Connemara

[00:01:09] After supper and a sleep

[00:01:11] We would be going there tomorra'

[00:01:14] I worried if my words would

[00:01:16] Ere be sung by Irishmen

[00:01:19] Or rot here on the docks

[00:01:21] Like the fish of Killybegs

[00:01:44] A radio was playin' though

[00:01:46] We never heard a word

[00:01:48] For the rhythm of the music

[00:01:50] Was familiar if absurd

[00:01:53] A hearkening intensity for silence did I beg

[00:01:58] Oh what a song was playing

[00:02:00] In the air of Killybegs

[00:02:06] I couldn't quite believe it

[00:02:08] For it sounded rather strange

[00:02:11] The instruments were different

[00:02:13] And the key had been changed

[00:02:16] I reached to turn the volume up

[00:02:18] Then teeter on my leg

[00:02:20] A girl from Tipperary sang my song in Killybegs
