今天來聊聊愛爾蘭傳統音樂
愛爾蘭風笛,Irish folk music(愛爾蘭民謠)裏經常會採用accordion手風琴,
這樂器的音色溫柔悅耳,配合愛爾蘭舞曲所謂「jigs」的節奏風格,很舒服
即使是第一次聽到音樂也可以馬上徜徉在愛爾蘭國家公園中的一片綠油草原上
感受的微風的律動~
原主唱是Steve Earle (2000) 美國的鄉村歌手,今天想和大家分享的版本是
Mundy with Sharon Shannon的 live oxegen 2008 in HD演唱版本。先聽!
歌詞:
Well i took a stroll(漫步) on the old long walk
on the day i-ay i-ay
Well i meet a little girl and we stopped to talk
on a grand soft day i-ay
And i ask you friend whats a fella(小伙子) to do
Coz her hair was black and her eyes were blue
And i knew right then i'd been taking a twhirl
Down the Salthill Prom(舞會) with a galway girl
HO
Were half way there when the rain came down
On the day i-ay i-ay
She asked me up to her flat down town
On a fine soft day i-ay
And i ask you friend whats a fella to do
Coz her hair was black and her eyes were blue
And i took her hand and i gave her a twirl
awwww and i lost my heart to a galway girl
Ho
And when i woke up i was all alone
with a broken heart and a ticket home
And i ask you now tell me what would you do
if her hair was black and her eyes were blue
'cause I've traveled around
I've been all over this world
Boys, I ain't never seen nothing like a Galway girl
Ps. I love you電影版:
愛爾蘭的音樂狂熱:
愛爾蘭的很多酒吧都有樂隊現場表演,即使一些小鎮的酒吧也是如此,
當地人喜歡在酒吧裡擺弄一些簡單的樂器,
跟夥伴們一起即興演奏一段,既娛樂了自己,也給大家增添了酒興。
來到愛爾蘭旅遊不能不去感受一下酒吧的樂隊。
愛爾蘭人對音樂非常著迷,具有代表性的樂器—豎琴在愛爾蘭音樂中佔有十分特殊的地位,
它象徵著愛爾蘭人民與音樂的完美融合。豎琴是第一種在愛爾蘭文學著作中被記載的樂器,
並且從中世紀起就成為愛爾蘭國徽的圖案。
如今,在愛爾蘭護照和郵票上都能看見豎琴的圖案。
愛爾蘭音樂的成就,不僅僅止於傳統音樂,
許多蜚聲國際的現代流行音樂歌手和團體都來自愛爾蘭,
其中較為知名的有:U2樂團、可兒家族樂團、恩雅、西城男孩、
小紅莓樂團、範·莫里森等等,這些都只不過是當中的一小部分而已。
介紹到這裡,讓我們也來回顧先前魔莉DJ
的鐘愛愛爾蘭歌手,Damien Rice
