叶芝的柳园里

这首歌的美，是在它的旋律上，悠长的哨笛、颤动的竖琴简洁地运行着主题旋律，鸟语悠悠地做着背景声音，演绎着略带伤感的情绪。穿透云霄的哨笛高音，虽高昂却宣泄着不爽的思绪，快速下行后，略起伏后归于沉寂。竖琴的清幽，宁静地让人沉思、回味。结尾的哨笛再次强烈地演绎着主题。

此歌是根据叶芝的同名诗歌谱曲而成，最初翻译为《柳园里》，是叶芝早年的诗作。他的早年诗歌韵律优美，感情细腻，辞藻华丽，象征意味浓郁，明显受到英国浪漫主义和法国象征主义诗歌的影响。

这首诗貌似简单，但却向人们揭示了生活的哲理——对待爱情和生活，人们应当顺其自然，就像“绿叶长在树枝上，青草长在河堰上”。不然，会因为一时的“愚蠢”而遗恨终生。他将青春、爱情连同死亡一同揉进循环往复、错综神秘的时空背景里互相对视.在这种痛苦的对视中,真理、自由等命题一一浮现,并被赋予了岁月的厚重感。

这首诗很美，给人很飘逸的感觉，音乐也很棒，让人有置身大海的意境。它有蓝色的忧郁，绿色的清新，白色的恬淡。只要你想，就能从中找出属于你自己的颜色。

Down by the Salley Garden - William Butler Yeats

Down by the Salley Gardens，My love and I did meet 我和我的爱人曾约会在柳园
She passed the Salley Gardens，With little snow-white feet 我看着她纤细雪足莲步翩翩
She bid me take love easy，As the leaves grow on the tree 她约定我和她要像绿叶和树一样依偎相恋

But I being young and foolish， With her did not agree 但我是如此年轻而无知拒绝了她的浪漫
In a field by the river ，My love and I did stand　我和我的爱人曾一起站在一望无际的河畔
And on my leaning shoulder，She laid her snow-white hand 她温柔嫩白的手搭在我微倾的单肩，
She bid me take life easy，As the grass grows on the weirs 她祈祷我们的生命要像河堰上的嫩草一样新鲜
But I was young and foolish，And now am full of tears 但我是如此年轻而无知 现在泪水溢出我的双眼

Down by the Salley Gardens，My love and I did meet 我和我的爱人曾约会在柳园
She passed the Salley Gardens，With little snow-white feet 我看着她纤细雪足莲步翩翩
She bid me take love easy，As the leaves grow on the tree 她约定我和她要像绿叶和树一样依偎相恋
But I being young and foolish　 With her did not agree 但我是如此年轻而无知拒绝了她的浪漫
But I was young and foolish，And now am full of tears　但我是如此年轻而无知，现在泪水溢出我的双眼

中国风译版
Down by the salley gardens my love and I did meet;斯遇佳人，仙苑重深
She passed the salley gardens with little snow-white feet.玉人雪趾，往渡穿林
She bid me take love easy, as the leaves grow on the tree;瞩我适爱，如叶逢春
But I, being young and foolish, with her would not agree.我愚且顽，负此明言
In a field by the river my love and I did stand,斯水之畔，与彼曾伫
And on my leaning shoulder she laid her snow-white hand.比肩之处，玉手曾拂
She bid me take life easy, as the grass grows on the weirs;嘱我适世，如荇随堰
But I was young and foolish, and now I am full of tears.惜我愚顽，唯余泣叹！
