每一個寧靜的夜晚，都想要聆聽一下音樂的旋律。每一個快樂的時刻，都想要哼唱幾下跳動的歌詞。不知不覺，我發(fā)現(xiàn)自己愛上了音樂，你呢？是否也陶醉在音樂的星河里呢？

歡迎大家來到 Spiiker-樂動我心，今天為大家推薦的歌曲是《Down By the Salley Garden》。

這首聞名遐邇的歌曲，是根據(jù)詩人威廉?巴特勒?葉芝的同名詩歌〈Down By the Salley Garden〉譜曲而成，最初翻譯為《柳園里》，是葉芝早年的詩作。

這首聞名遐邇的歌曲，是根據(jù)詩人威廉?巴特勒?葉芝的同名詩歌〈Down By the Salley Garden〉譜曲而成，最初翻譯為《柳園里》，是葉芝早年的詩作。他的早年詩歌韻律優(yōu)美，感情細膩，辭藻華麗，象征意味濃郁，明顯受到英國浪漫主義和法國象征主義詩歌的影響。

《柳園里》原名為《舊歌新唱》 。葉芝曾為此詩作過下列注釋：“這首詩是根據(jù)斯萊戈縣巴利索戴爾村里一個經(jīng)常獨自吟唱的老農(nóng)婦記不完全的三行舊歌詞改寫而成的”。

這首詩貌似簡單，但卻向人們揭示了生活的哲理：對待愛情和生活，人們應當順其自然，就像“綠葉長在樹枝上”，“青草長在河堰上”。不然，會因為一時的“愚蠢”而遺恨終生。

詩文&歌詞譯文

Down by the salley gardens my love and I did meet;

在莎莉花園深處,吾愛與我曾經(jīng)相遇。

She passed the salley gardens with little snow-white feet.

她穿越莎莉花園,以雪白的小腳。

She bid me take love easy, as the leaves grow on the tree;

她囑咐我要愛得輕松,當新葉在枝椏萌芽。

But I, being young and foolish, with her would not agree.

但我當年年幼無知,不予輕率茍同。

In a field by the river my love and I did stand,

在河邊的田野,吾愛與我曾經(jīng)駐足。

And on my leaning shoulder she laid her snow-white hand.

她依靠在我的肩膀,以雪白的小手。

She bid me take life easy, as the grass grows on the weirs;

她囑咐我要活得輕松,當青草在堤岸滋長。

But I was young and foolish, and now am full of tears.

但我當年年幼無知,而今熱淚盈眶。

中國風譯版

Down by the salley gardens my love and I did meet;

斯遇佳人，仙苑重深

She passed the salley gardens with little snow-white feet.

玉人雪趾，往渡穿林

She bid me take love easy, as the leaves grow on the tree;

矚我適愛，如葉逢春

But I, being young and foolish, with her would not agree.

我愚且頑，負此明言

In a field by the river my love and I did stand,

斯水之畔，與彼曾佇

And on my leaning shoulder she laid her snow-white hand.

比肩之處，玉手曾拂

She bid me take life easy, as the grass grows on the weirs;

囑我適世，如荇隨堰

But I was young and foolish, and now I am full of tears.

惜我愚頑，唯余泣嘆！
