The Smile When You Tore Me Apart

我得承认，我对爱尔兰民谣完全没有抵抗力，所以当<Bonny Bonny>里风笛响起来的时候，我就彻底被征服了。

古老的旋律响彻着召唤的力量，只有时间的沉淀才可以到达这个程度吧！爱尔兰作为一个动荡的国家，分离、哀愁、留恋是永恒的主题。再见，美好家园！再见，至亲的人！这个有着蜿蜒海岸线、满是丘陵山地、会用小小的白色三叶草做国花的国家，有着怎样田园般柔美和清澈的心呢？

这些来自心底深处的声音，大概可以让我们离灵魂更近一些吧。

Cara Dillon，生于爱尔兰传统音乐世家，以流行歌手的身份入行，但却因为一张民谣专辑而获得好评。嗓音沉淀且富有穿透力，跌宕起伏仿佛沿着优美的山脉和海岸线的轮廓。

整张专辑都很不错，田园风格的<High Tide>、深情的<Where Are You>都值得一听。2002年的同名专辑中的<Craigie Hill>也非常好听，Craigie Hill是爱尔兰一座山的名字。

Bonny, bonny was my seat in the red rosy yard
And bonny was my ship in the town of Ballynagard
Shade and shelter was for me till I began to fail
You all may guess now my distress lies near the Nightingale

Grief and woe that I must go to fight for England's King
I neither know his friend or foe, and war's a cruel thing
The nightingale is near at hand, my time at home is brief
And Carey's steams and mountain land I part with bitter grief

No more I'll walk the golden hills with Nancy by my side
Or dream along the sun bright rills, or view my land with pride
We sail away at dawn of day, the sails are ready set
When old Benmore I see no more, I'll sigh with deep regret

Now all must change and I must range across the ocean wide
Our ship she may in Biscay's Bay lie low beneath the tide
If I should fall by cannon ball, or sink beneath the sea
Good people all, a tear let fall and mourn for mine and me

If God should spare me my greying hair and bring me back again
I'd love far more my Antrim shore, its dark blue hills and rain
Around the fires, my heart's desires, heaven grant till life shall fail
And keep me far from the cruel war and from the Nightingale
