The Chieftains - Molly Bán (Bawn)
Written by:Paddy Moloney
Come all ye young fellas
过来 你们这些
That handle a gun
喜欢舞刀弄枪的年轻人们
Beware of night rambling
太阳西斜 夜幕降临之时
By the setting of the sun
请提高警惕
And beware of an accident
最近发生了一起事故
That happened of late
你们可要务必小心
To young Molly Ban
惨剧的主角是年轻的莫莉
And sad was her fate
她是多么命途多舛
She was going to her uncles
她去拜访她的叔叔
When a shower came on
恰逢大雨倾盆
She went under a green bush
她奔向一丛绿树下暂避
The shower to shun
等待大雨停歇
Her white apron wrapped around her
她围着素白的围裙
He took her for a swan
他把她看作了一只天鹅
But a hush and sigh
一阵寂静 复而一声哀叹
Was his own Molly Ban
那是他的莫莉
He quickly ran to her
他飞跑向她
And found she was dead
然而她已香消玉殒
And there on her bosom
她染血的胸前
Where he soaked tears he shed
一滴滴打落的是他的泪水
He ran home to his father
他迅速回家找他的父亲
With his gun in his hand
手里还持着方才的枪
Saying father dear father
他说 父亲 亲爱的父亲
I have shot Molly Ban
我射倒了莫莉
Her white apron wrapped around her
她围着素白的围裙
He took her for a swan
他把她看作了一只天鹅
But a hush and a sigh
一阵寂静 复而一声哀叹
It was his own Molly Ban
那是他的莫莉
He roamed near the place
他在伤心之地久久徘徊
Where his true love was slain
他的真爱在此魂归西天
He wept bitter tears
他以苦涩的泪水洗面
But his cries were in vain
但再多哭泣也是徒劳
As he look on the lake
他看向湖面
A swan glided by
一只天鹅静静游过
And the sun slowly sank
太阳正缓缓西斜
In the gray up sky
映照着灰蒙蒙的天空
