The last rose of summer——爱尔兰经典名曲歌词赏析
:“夏日里最后的玫瑰”,很多人相信都是在20多年前,从一部叫做《英俊少年》的德国电影中认识这首音乐的。事实上,这是一首相当古老和出名的爱尔兰民歌,至今流传的各种版本非常多。Celtic Woman的克萝伊以前出过《The last rose of summer 夏日最后的玫瑰》专辑;Izzy在《New Dawn》专辑中也有收录;而美芙的演绎勿庸质疑的是绝对神品!
托玛斯•穆尔(Thomas Moore 1779—1852)爱尔兰诗人 这首诗算得上西方人的 “葬花词”,前两阙为夏日里最后的玫瑰抒发孤独的伤感,细腻真切;第三阙引出对人的怀念:既然知音真爱已离开尘世,自己也不愿再苟活人间。
Air---“Groves of Blarney”
’Tis the last rose of summer,
Left blooming alone;
All her lovely companions
Are faded and gone;
No flower of her kindred,
No rose-bud is nigh,
To reflect back her blushes,
Or give sigh to sigh!
I’ll not leave thee, thou lone one!
To pine on the stem;
Since the lovely are sleeping,
Go, sleep thou with them.
Thus kindly I scatter
Thy leaves o’er the bed,
Where thy mates of the garden
Lie scentless and dead.
So soon may I follow,
When friendship decay,
And from Love’s shining circle
The gems drop away!
When true hearts lie wither’d,
And fond ones are flown,
Oh! who would inhabit
This bleak world alone?
夏日里最后一朵玫瑰
夏日里最后一朵玫瑰,
独自盛开的一个花魂;
娇艳的姊妹全都枯萎,
美丽的同伴尽皆凋零;
没有花朵相亲,
更无蓓蕾贴近;
哪有红颜把她的红颜反照,
何来叹息把她的叹息呼应!
我不忍离你而去,
你这孤独的精灵;
百花都已进入梦境,
你却还在枝头独自伤心;
我怀着浓浓的柔情,
把你在花圃的落叶扫除干净;
在这里园中伙伴落入尘土,
在这里群芳已经香销玉殒。
等到情意的花朵化为灰尘,
我就随后把你紧跟;
爱的光环耀眼,
只是花草一春;
当知音告别尘世,
当真爱已做古人;
呵!谁还会苟活人世,
去无尽地饱尝孤独、冷清。
