歌词与中文翻译
阳光普照，碧波荡漾
Bright red is the sun o'er the waves of Lough Sheelin
山间的微风柔和的拂过
A cool gentle breeze o'er the mountains is stealing
锦绣的乡土，宁静和美
But fair round the islets the small ripples play
然而最美不过芬尼之花
But fairer than all is the flower of Finae
她的秀发黑如暗夜，她的双眸澄澈如清晨的湖水
Her hair is like night and her eyes like grey morning
她让最美的花都黯然失色
She trips o'er the heather as if its touch scorning
她温柔而善良，她的双唇如五月的阳光般柔和
But her heart and her lips are as mild as May Day
年轻的艾莉·麦可曼， 她正是芬尼之花
Young Eily McMahon is the flower of Finae
是谁正如小鹿一般奔向山脚
Who down the hillside like wild deer runs fleeter?
是谁在湖边迫切的等待，渴望与她相见
And who on the lakeside is hastening to greet her?
他是费格斯·费雷尔，最英俊的青年
Who but Fergus O'Farrell, that fiery young gay
是她的骄傲，是她心之所向
The darling and pride of the flower of Finae
他们亲吻，相拥，眼神中的深情溢于言表
One kiss and one clasp and one wild look of gladness
可是为何一切的美好很快就会消逝得无影无踪
But why does it change all of a sudden to sadness?
他诉说着命运的作弄，他将奔赴远方
He has told his sad fortune; he can no longer stay
留下他心上的人儿独自悲伤
He must leave his poor Eily all alone in Finae
他是如此的深爱着这片土地
For Fergus O'Farrell was true to his sire-land
然而暴君的淫威正如潮水般肆虐在爱尔兰
But the strong hand of tyranny were drove in from Ireland
他加入了军队，奔赴远方的战场
He joins the brigade in the wars far away
但他立下誓言，一定会回到爱人的身旁
But he vows he'll return to the flower of Finae
克雷莫纳之战，她听闻了他的战功
Fought at Cremona—she hears of his story
卡萨诺的战役，她为他的英勇而骄傲
He fought at Casano—she's proud of his glory
她日夜的思念在她的歌声中回荡
Yet sadly she sings "Siubhail a Rúin" all the day
噢，回家吧我的恋人，回到芬尼，回到我的身旁
O, come home my darling, come home to Finae
多年过去，她心如刀绞
Long years have passed till she's nigh broken-hearted
她翻山越岭
Her reel and her rock and her flax she has parted
航向远方，去到爱人身旁
She sails with the wild geese to Flanders away
留下她孤独的父母，日夜担忧和哀伤
And leaves her poor parents alone in Finae
克莱尔大人是拉米伊战场的司令官
Lord Clare on the field of Ramillies is charging
在他的前方 英国人正摩拳擦掌
Before him the Sassanach squadrons enlarging
在他的后方德国人正严阵以待
Behind him the Cravats, their sections display
在他的身旁，费格斯正呼唤着家乡
Beside him rides Fergus and he shouts for Finae
交战的山坡上，法国人正在顽强抵抗
On the slopes of La Judoigne the Frenchmen are flying
克莱尔大人的军队与敌人殊死交战
Lord Clare and his squadrons the foe still defying
最后终于将敌人重创
Outnumbered and wounded retreat in array
但费格斯身受重伤，临死前还在思念着家乡
And bleeding rides Fergus and he thinks of Finae
修道院的尖顶旗帜飘扬
In the cloisters of Ypres a banner is swaying
一位低声抽泣的修女正祈求上苍
And by it a pale weeping maiden is praying
飘扬的旗帜是凯旋的象征
That flag's the sole trophy of Ramillies' fray
哭泣的修女，凋零的芬尼之花，黯然神伤
This nun is poor Eily, the flower of Finae
