Carrickfergus (Soundtrack Version) - Loudon Wainwright III

I wish I was in Carrickfergus only for nights in Ballygrand

卡里克弗格斯 我心所向 只为那Ballygrand的夜晚

I would swim over the deepest ocean the deepest ocean for my love to find

我想游过那深邃的大海 来寻觅我的爱

But the sea is wide and I cannot swim over and neither have I wings to fly

但是苦海无涯 我无能为力 也没有翅膀 载我飞翔

If I could find me a handsome boatman to ferry me over to my love and die

如果我能找到一个船夫 带我到彼岸 带她的身旁就好了

My childhood days bring back sad reflections of happy times I spent so long ago

那些童年时光已经一去不复返

My boyhood friends and my own relations have all passed on now like melting snow

现在想起 不禁潸然泪下 人走茶凉 往事如烟

But I'll spend my days in endless roaming soft is the grass my bed is free

所以我继续漂泊 芳草作榻 何处无床

Ah to be back now in Carrickfergus on that long road down to the salty sea

回想家乡 我却在这条路上 渐行渐远

And in Kilkenny it is reported there are marble stones as black as ink

在Killkenny 怪石嶙峋 黑如墨苍

With gold and silver I would support her but I'll sing no more now till I get a drink

倾尽所有 将她供养 非酒酣时 不能歌唱

I'm drunk today and I'm seldom sober a handsome rover from town to town

我愿今朝买醉 醉不复醒 四海为家 浪迹天涯

Ah but I'm sick now my days are numbered so come all ye young men and lay me down

虽然心有余情 但我余日无多 所以年轻人啊 来吧 将我埋葬
