bonny
卡拉-迪仑(Cara Dillon)来自爱尔兰,来自那个国徽里有竖琴的国度。这是一个兢兢业业投身于纯粹音乐的女歌手,一个婉转低回地哼唱着忧伤与苍凉的女孩,一个随心所欲轰动欧洲的天才。《邦尼,邦尼》是Cara一首反战题材的歌曲,选自专辑《甜蜜的自由》(Sweet Liberty)。虽然同样充斥着爱尔兰民族音乐的音符、同样是对家乡的眷恋,与《克雷吉山》(CraigieHill)(点击收听)的隽永悠扬不一样的是,歌中冷淡清透的嗓音浸彻心肺,难掩对即将来到的征战的无奈与忧心。http://image.jxue.com/www/2006/07/24/033540602.jpg
Bonny Bonny
Cara Dillon
Bonny, Bonny was my seat in the red rosy yard
And Bonny was my ship in the town of Ballynagard
Shade and shelter was for me till I began to fail
You all may guess now my distress lies near the Nightingale
Grief and woe that I must go to fight for England's King
I neither know his friend or foe, and war's a cruel thing
The nightingale is near at hand, my time at home is brief
And Carey's streams and mountain land I part with bitter grief
No more I'll walk the golden hills with Nancy by my side
Or dream along the sun bright rills, or view my land with pride
We sail away at dawn of day, the sails are ready set
When old Benmore I see no more, I'll sigh with deep regret
Now all must change and I must range across the ocean wide
Our ship she may in Biscay's Bay lie low beneath the tide
If I should fall by cannon ball, or sink beneath the sea
Good people all, a tear let fall and mourn for mine and me
If God should spare me my greying hair and bring me back again
I'd love far more my Antrim shore, its dark blue hills and rain
Around the fires, my heart's desires, heaven grant till life shall fail
And keep me far from the cruel war and from the Nightingale
歌曲赏析
爱尔兰的音乐杂志评论Cara,说她的声音冷静中富有感情,充满了温暖的气息和与生俱来的信仰。这句评价在本首歌中体现最为明显,《邦尼,邦尼》(Bonny Bonny)也因而成为Cara最具代表性的作品之一。无论你身在何处,无论你浮躁或烦闷,只要你踏进Cara为你营造的音乐空间,总有股说不出的温暖感染着你心中最柔软的某部分,诱你在茫茫人海中稍稍驻足……
