ALTAN---Daily Growing

The trees they grow high, the leaves they do grow green,

Many is the time my true love I’ve seen,

Many an hour I have watched him all alone,

He
s young but
he
s daily
growing.

Father, dear father, you
ve
done me great wrong,

You have married me to a boy who is too young,

I am twice twelve and he is but fourteen,

He’s young but he’s daily growing.

Daughter, dear daughter, I’ve done you no wrong,

I have married you to a great lord’s son,

He will be a man for you when I am dead and gone,

He’s young but he’s daily growing

Father, dear father, if you see fit,

We’ll send him to college for another year yet,

I’ll tie a blue ribbon all around his head,

To let the maidens know that he is married.

One day I was looking over my father
s
castle wall,

I spied all the boys playing with a ball,

And my own true love was the flower of them all,

He
s young but
he
s daily
growing.

And so early in the morning at the dawning of the day,

They went into a hayfield to have some sport and play,

And what they did there she never would declare,

But she never more complained of his growing.

At the age of fourteen he was a married man,

At the age of fifteen the father of my son,

At the age of sixteen his grave it was green,

And death had put an end to his growing.

I
ll buy my
love some flannel, I
ll
make my love a shroud,

With every stitch I put in it, the tears they will pour down,

With every stitch I put in it, how the tears they will flow,

Cruel fate has put an end to his growing.

汉译《Daily
Growing
》如下:

树在长高,叶在变绿,

许多次,我看到他我的可爱,

几多时,我独自对他长久凝视,

他还小,但他在长大。

爸爸,
亲爱的爸爸,你对女儿犯下伟大的错,

你把我嫁给没有成人的男孩,

我二十四,他十四,

他还小,但他在长大。

女儿,
亲爱的女儿,我给你的安排并没错,

我把你嫁给豪门的儿子,

一旦我老去,他将是你依靠的男人,

他还小,但他在长大。

爸爸,
亲爱的爸爸,如果你认为合适,

来年过后,送他读大学吧,

我要用蓝绸带缠上他的头,

告诉年轻的女孩,他已经结婚。

曾经有一天,越过爸爸的院墙,

我看到一群男孩在玩球,

我的可爱追逐其中,

他还小,但他在长大.

那是曙光微现的清晨,

他们冲入草场锻炼游戏,

他们的幼稚,她羞于告人,

但她无从抱怨,因为他在成长.

十四岁,他成已婚男人,

十五岁,他已做了父亲,

十六岁,他的墓地绿草如芸,

死亡终止他的成长.

我买来法兰绒,给我的可爱做寿衣,

一针下去,泪如雨,

一针上来,雨是泪,

残酷的命运终结他的成长

歌曲背景:


一个女子在年轻的时候由于父亲的安排嫁给了一个显贵的子弟,她开始担心自己的年龄有一天会成为感情悲剧的主因,她埋怨父亲错误的将自己嫁给了一个比她小很多的男子。婚后第二年,他们有了自己的孩子,而她的夫君却也还是一个孩子,在一天天的长大。她送他去上学,为他裹了蓝色的头巾,她怕别人抢走父亲为自己选定依存的真爱。而命运的捉弄,却使她很快成了寡妇,在为爱人缝制寿衣的时候,她的悲哀成了整个曲子的灵魂…


这一首来自爱尔兰乐队ALTAN的凯尔特歌曲,自然、淳朴。清水出芙蓉,天然去雕饰。深深打动我的,是父女俩对话般的吟唱以及歌中那种仿佛已经淡到极致的哀伤。


埃尔顿乐队成立二十余年至今,几乎已经成为了爱尔兰传统音乐的代名词,在欧洲地区家喻户晓。埃尔顿乐队由
6名音乐家组成,分别演奏具有爱尔兰特色的小提琴、长笛、风琴等乐器,虽然组成人员并不多,但音乐家之间始终保持着爱尔兰音乐家传统的师徒相传的教育模式,使最具有爱尔兰风格的音乐得以保持与流传。1996年,埃尔顿乐队与欧洲的维真唱片公司签约,成为第一支与大厂牌唱片公司签约的爱尔兰风格乐队。随后,他们的唱片多次获得金唱片和白金唱片奖项,随之而来的世界范围的巡演更为他们增添了广泛的声誉。他们现在的演奏已不只是局限在爱尔兰音乐,而是扩展到了摇滚、蓝调、爵士乃至乡村音乐等多种范畴,这些不同风格的音乐在他们具有浓厚的爱尔兰特色的手法演奏之下,更加具有别样的风情。也许正因为此,埃尔顿乐队在新世纪里焕发出了崭新的活力。美国BILLBORD排行榜曾这样评价埃尔顿乐队:“埃尔顿乐队演奏的音乐不属于任何音乐分支,他们所做的是打破民族音乐、世界音乐与摇滚音乐之间的一切文化隔阂。”
