歌词
In the town of Athlone there’s a young woman walking
一个年轻的女人走在阿斯隆城
And wrapped ‘round her baby a shawl as she speaks
她一边用披肩裹住她的孩子
Of the passing of rings to the uniformed soldiers
一边讲着如何把戒指带给前线的士兵
The price of a ribbon their fortune to speak
一条讲述着他们命运的丝带（？）
Ah their fortune she speaks and she speaks of a river
啊，她讲述着他们的命运，谈到了一条河
Whose silvery barrows and moorlands beneath
银色的小推车和高沼地之下
Where a gun battle raged
爆发了一场枪战
and the hero for Ireland
爱尔兰的英雄
Soon would lie down dead, dead at her feet
很快就会永眠在她的脚边
At the feet of the virgin in the grotto of Annah
在阿纳的石窟中圣母的脚下（？）
She sings to her baby in old styles bequeath
她用古老的曲调为她的孩子歌唱
As she lilts and laments and enchants all in hearing
她的歌声时而轻快，时而悲叹，时而陶醉
With songs of her people and melodies sweet
甜美的旋律歌颂着她的人民
Sweet silvery Nore river is rolling

Over an Irish soldier’s grave

And the vestry bells are tolling

Over the ashes of his grave

Lies Nioclas Mullins the pride of Cullbawn

Yet unmarked beside him the bride of his union

Who carried our music in a black gypsy shawl

Sweet silvery Nore river is rolling
