歌词
I wish I was in Carrickfergus
我希望我在，那卡里佛格斯，
Only for nights in Ballygrand
只有在夜晚，去巴利农庄。
I would swim over the deepest ocean
我要去横渡，深深大海洋，
The deepest ocean for my love to find
渡过那大海，寻找我姑娘。
But the sea is wide and I cannot swim over
大海宽广，我不能够去横渡，
Neither have I the wings to fly
也没有翅膀去飞翔。
If I could find me a handsome boatsman
但愿我有，仁慈的船夫，
To ferry me over to my love and die
带我去找她，睡在她身旁。
My childhood days bring back sad reflections
我少年时代，那是痛苦时光，
Of happy times spent so long ago
过去的日子，早已没阳光。
My childhood friends and my own relations
回忆我童年，朋友和那亲人，
Have all passed on now like melting snow
像冰雪融化，消散在远方。
But I'll spend my days in endless roaming
光阴真如箭，我还在世上徘徊，
Soft is the grass,my bed is free
那大草地，就是我的床！
Ah,to be back now in Carrickfergus
啊，我回来了，那卡里佛格斯，
On that long road down to the sea
去大海的路，还很长很长。
And in Kilkenny There it is reported
在基尔肯尼，还有一个传说，
There are marble stones there As black as any ink
那里的岩石，乌黑得发亮。
With gold and silver I would support her
是金还是银，统统都要给她，
But I'll sing no more now Till I get a drink
给我一杯酒，我不再歌唱。
But I am drunk today And I'm seldom sober
今天我醉了，我已经很难清醒，
A handsome rover From town to town
潇洒地，到处去流浪。
Oh...but I'm sick now And my days are numbered
如今我已老，来日已经无多，
So come ye young men And lay me down
帮我躺下吧，来吧，少儿郎。
