Danny Boy (秋夜吟)

以前高中的音樂課本有這一首，歌名叫秋夜吟，不過歌詞與原意差很多，聽了原來的 Danny Boy 後，覺得我們那時候唱的真是慘不忍睹。

Danny Boy 是英國人 Frederick Weatherly 把愛爾蘭民謠 Londonderry Air 加自己的詞上組成的。很久以前在台視有看過一部電影稱為 Memphis Belle(英烈的歲月)， 裏面就用這首當主題曲，這部電影雖然沒有什麼特效，還是值得一看。

Danny Boy

Oh Danny boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling
From glen to glen, and down the mountain side
The summer's gone, and all the flowers are dying
'Tis you, 'tis you must go and I must bide.
But come ye back when summer's in the meadow
Or when the valley's hushed and white with snow
'Tis I'll be here in sunshine or in shadow
Oh Danny boy, oh Danny boy, I love you so.

And if you come, when all the flowers are dying
And I am dead, as dead I well may be
You'll come and find the place where I am lying
And kneel and say an "Ave" there for me.
And I shall hear, tho' soft you tread above me
And all my dreams will warm and sweeter be
If you'll not fail to tell me that you love me
I'll simply sleep in peace until you come to me.
I'll simply sleep in peace until you come to me.

秋夜吟

月亮當空，照射大地明亮如鏡，

雲淡風輕，秋高又氣爽。

在這個優美撩人的秋夜裡，

想起了遙遠的故鄉，家鄉的母親。

啊！母親呀！我最愛的母親，

您愛家鄉，卻更愛著我們，

為了我們明天有光榮的前程，

引導著我們奔向旅程。
