The Town I Loved So Well
The Celtic Tenors
Irish Album


In my memory, I will always see
记忆中，我经常看到
The town that I have loved so well
深爱的那个小镇
Where our school played ball by the gas yard wall
在那里,我们学校的孩子在盖肆亚德墙边踢足球
And they laughed through the smoke and the smell
透过烟尘和汗水欢笑
Going home in the rain, running up the dark lane
雨中飞奔回家，沿着黑暗小道跑啊跑
Past the jail, and down behind the Fountain
途经监狱，跑到喷泉后面
Those were happy days in so many, many ways
这些是多幸福的日子啊
In the town I loved so well
在我深爱的小镇里

In the early morning the shirt factory horn
衬衣厂的喇叭在清晨吹响
Called women from Creggan, the moor, and the bog
召来了克雷根,穆尔和博格的妇女
While the men on the dole played a mother's role
而靠失业救济金生活的男人们则扮演起了母亲的角色
Fed the children and then walked the dog
喂饱了孩子接着又遛了狗
And when times got tough there was just about enough
世道虽然艰难,但知足常乐
And they saw it through without complaining
大伙都明白,一句也没有抱怨
For deep inside was a burning pride
因为内心深处,充满着浓烈的自豪
In the town I loved so well
在我深爱的小镇里
There was music there in the Derry air
在德里的上空飘荡着音乐
Like a language that we all could understand
就像一种大家都听得懂的语言
I remember the day that I earned my first pay
我仍记得第一次领到薪水的那一天
When I played in a small pick-up band
那时我在一个临时拼凑的小乐队里演奏
There I spent my youth, and to tell you the truth
在那我度过了我的大好青春,跟你说句实话
I was sad to leave it all behind me
逝去的时光让我黯然失色
For I learned about life, and I found a wife
因为我明白了世事而且还娶了个妻子
In the town I loved so well
在我深爱的小镇里

But when I returned, how my eyes have burned
但当我回来时,我的双眼却被深深灼伤了
To see how a town could be brought to it's knees
我看到我的小镇遍体鳞伤
By the armoured cars and the bombed-out bars
因了那些装甲车和被炸毁的酒吧
And the gas that hangs on to every breeze
树身笼罩着毒气
Now the army's installed by that old gas yard wall
盖斯亚德墙边如今驻扎着军队
And the damned barbed wire gets higher and higher
而令人憎恶的铁丝网越修越高
With their tanks and their guns, oh my god, what have they done
用那些坦克和枪支,我的上帝,他们都干些什么
To the town I loved so well
在我深爱的小镇上

Now the music's gone but they carry on
如今虽然音乐不再,而它们依然在我的耳边回响
For their spirits been bruised, never broken
因为他们的灵魂受了伤,但永远不会折服
They will not forget but their hearts are set
他们永远不会忘记,他们的决心已定
On tomorrow and peace once again
明天和平一定会到来
For what's done is done and what's won is won
因为事情已经发生,一切已经无法挽回
And what's lost is lost and gone for ever
就让过去的永远成为过去
I can only pray for a bright, brand new day
我只能祈祷一个灿烂的,崭新的明天
In the town I love so well
在我最深爱的小镇
