Bonny Bonny by Cara Dillon
Bonny, bonny
Was my seat in the red rosy yard
And bonny was my ship
In the town of Ballynagard
Shade and shelter was for me
Till I began to fail
You all may guess n
Nw my distress lies near the Nightingale
Grief and woe that I must go
To fight for England’s King
I neither know his friend or foe
And war’s a cruel thing
The nightingale is near at hand
My time at home is brief
And Carey’s streams and mountain land
I part with bitter grief
No more I’ll walk the golden hills
With Nancy by my side
Or dream along the sun bright rills
Or view my land with pride
We sail away at dawn of day
The sails are ready set
When old Benmore I see no more
I’ll sigh with deep regret
Now all must change
And I must range across the ocean wide
Our ship she may in Biscay’s Bay
Lie low beneath the tide
If I should fall by cannon ball
Or sink beneath the sea
Good people all
A tear let fall and mourn for mine and me
If God should spare me my greying hair
And bring me back again
I’d love far more my Antrim shore
Its dark blue hills and rain
Around the fires, my heart’s desires
heaven grant till life shall fail
And keep me far from the cruel war
And from the Nightingale
歌手简介
Cara Dillon 1975年出生于爱尔兰的一个传统音乐世家。她的声音如此清透美丽而极具风格,让人们觉得相见恨晚。用这样一句话来形容Cara Dillon不足为过:Cara Dillon是个不寻常的天才! 14岁的时候,Cara Dillon就赢得了全爱尔兰传统歌唱比赛冠军。在开始她自己喜欢的事业之前,她和她的伙伴Sam Lakeman与一家唱片公司签约想做流行歌手,可之后他们发现自己并不喜欢做流行音乐。于是他们出了一张凄美的民歌专辑Cara Dillon/Rough Trade Records,出乎意料地赢得了广泛好评。这股随之而来的Cara Dillon效应让她和她的伙伴完全转型。而之后她所获得的无数奖项更加肯定了他们的转型。《爱尔兰音乐杂志》说,Cara Dillon冷酷却富有感染力的声音包含着她对家乡的热情和对国家的热爱。Folk Roots Magazine则评价道,毫不夸张地说,Cara Dillon有着极少数人才有的美妙嗓音。
无论你身在何处,无论你浮躁还是烦闷,只要你踏进Cara为你营造的音乐空间, 就会深深沉浸在风笛的悠扬中。总有股说不出的温暖感染着你心中最柔软的某部分……
