爱尔兰球迷高歌
2012年6月15日欧洲杯的一场小组赛里,爱尔兰国家足球队遇上了实力远胜自己的西班牙队,连失4球惨败。比赛临近结束的时候,全场爱尔兰的球迷没有愤怒、没有哭泣,依然唱起了他们为自己的球队助威的歌曲:“The Fields of Athenry”。
在这样的一个时候,上万名球迷悲壮的歌声,感动了整个世界。无数远在世界各个地方的电视观众不禁为之动容,流下了泪水。中国解说员贺炜在比赛后微博写下了如下的话语。
这首歌的背景设置在1845年开始的爱尔兰大饥荒中,一名来自高威郡的Athenry镇, 叫做Michael的男子,由于为他饥饿的家人偷窃食物而被抓获。他遭到流放,被发配去了远在地球另一端的澳大利亚。
歌曲主要描绘了Michael的妻子Mary,在港口目送押解丈夫的船远去的情景。从此天各一方,再不能见面。
歌中反复吟唱的几句大意如下:
低平的Athenry大地上
只有自由的小鸟在飞翔
我们的爱随着它们的翅膀
我们的梦想与歌声无法阻挡
在Athenry的旷野里孤寂的回荡
=====
附录1:英文歌词
The Fields of Athenry
Pete St. John
By a lonely prison wall
I heard a young girl calling
Micheal they are taking you away
For you stole Trevelyn's corn
So the young might see the morn.
Now a prison ship lies waiting in the bay.
Low lie the Fields of Athenry
Where once we watched the small free birds fly.
Our love was on the wing we had dreams and songs to sing
It's so lonely 'round the Fields of Athenry.
By a lonely prison wall
I heard a young man calling
Nothing matter Mary when your free,
Against the Famine and the Crown
I rebelled they ran me down
Now you must raise our child with dignity.
Low lie the Fields of Athenry
Where once we watched the small free birds fly.
Our love was on the wing we had dreams and songs to sing
It's so lonely 'round the Fields of Athenry.
By a lonely harbor wall
She watched the last star falling
As that prison ship sailed out against the sky
Sure she'll wait and hope and pray
For her love in Botany Bay
It's so lonely 'round the Fields of Athenry.
Low lie the Fields of Athenry
Where once we watched the small free birds fly.
