Carighfergus

An old folk Irish song from Loreena McKennitt Elemental album 。

Cedric Smith的沧桑在Loreena的哀伤凄美和竖琴的清丽的陪存下更显凄凉和无奈。

/>I wish I was in Carrighfergus,

Only for nights in Ballygran

I would swim over the deepest ocean,


Only for nights in Ballygrant.

But the sea is wide, and I can't get over.

And neither have I wings to fly,

Oh! If I could find me a handsome boatsman

To ferry me over to my love and die.


Now in Kilkenny, it is reported,

They've marble stones there as black as ink

With gold and silver I would transport her

But I'll sing no more now, till I get a drink.

I'm drunk today, but Then I'm seldom sober.


A handsome rover from town to town.

Oh, but I am sick now, my days are over,

Come all you young lads and lay me down.

I wish I was in Carrighfergus,

Only for nights in Ballygran.

when I listened to the first version, I thought to myself; they need a female voice in there too. :-)
