歌单介绍

这首爱尔兰的民谣，歌词以叙事的手法表现了一个青年在小镇上看上了一个迷人的姑娘并爱上了她的过程，路人说，这个姑娘是爱尔兰王冠上炫目的珠宝，而歌名star of county down正是指的这个姑娘。这首歌有不计其数的版本，每首让人感觉让人回到了过去那个民风淳朴的年代。那种感动仿佛回忆铺在你面前，特别在晚上，想起的是过去最美好的事情和快乐时光。

Near Banbridge town, in the County Down

One morning last July

Down a boreen green came a sweet colleen

And she smiled as she passed me by.

She looked so sweet from her two bare feet

To the sheen of her nut brown hair

Such a coaxing elf, sure I shook myself

To make sure I was standing there.

Chorus:

From Bantry Bay up to Derry Quay

And from Galway to Dublin town

No maid I\'ve seen like the sweet colleen

That I met in the County Down.

As she onward sped I shook my head

And I gazed with a feeling rare

And I said, says I, to a passerby

\"Who\'s the maid with the nut-brown hair?\"

He smiled at me, and with pride says he,

\"That\'s the gem of Ireland\'s crown.

She\'s young Rosie McCann from the banks of the Bann

She\'s the star of the County Down.\"

Chorus

I\'ve travelled a bit, but never was hit

Since my roving career began

But fair and square I surrendered there

To the charms of young Rose McCann.

I\'d a heart to let and no tenant yet

Did I meet with in shawl or gown

But in she went and I asked no rent

From the star of the County Down.

Chorus

At the crossroads fair I\'ll be surely there

And I\'ll dress in my Sunday clothes

And I\'ll try sheep\'s eyes, and deludhering lies

On the heart of the nut-brown rose.

No pipe I\'ll smoke, no horse I\'ll yoke

Though with rust my plow turns brown

Till a smiling bride by my own fireside

Sits the star of the County Down.

Chorus

说起爱尔兰传统音乐，当然大多属于凯尔特音乐了，正如乐评上说的“爱尔兰人热爱音乐，喜欢饮酒，这样的民族血液里奔流着浪漫主义情怀，而其独特的民族斗争史又为这种浪漫增添了血与火铸就的深沉。”

【\"Star of the County Down\" is an old Irish ballad set near Banbridge in County Down, in Ireland. The words are by Cathal McGarvey, 1866-1927, from Ramelton, County Donegal.The tune of the song, a pentatonic melody, is similar to that of several other works, including the almost identical English tune \"Kingsfold\", well known from several popular hymns, such as \"Led By the Spirit.\" The folk tune was the basis for Ralph Vaughan Williams\' Five Variants of Dives and Lazarus. The song is notable for its tight rhyme scheme. Each stanza is a double quatrain, and the first and third lines of each quatrain have an internal rhyme on the second and fourth feet: [aa]b[cc]b. The refrain is a single quatrain with the same rhyming pattern.

The song is sung from the point of view of a young man who chances to meet a charming lady by the name of Rose (or Rosie) McCann, referred to as the \"star of the County Down\". From a brief encounter the writer\'s infatuation grows until, by the end of the ballad, he imagines wedding the girl.

One popular adaptation (keeping the music, but changing the lyrics) is \"The Fighting 69th\", which is about the famed Irish Brigade of the American Civil War.】

有个很经典的版本，Orthodox Celts的，可惜虾米上没有。。。

其实最给我留下深刻印象的是Slainte的版本，可惜虾米上也没有。。。

曾经我自己录过一个视频，在这里给大家献个小丑~
