The Mummer's-Loreena McKennitt(1997)

那天"副會長"問我這首歌是誰唱的?Loreena McKennitt的介紹連接;有興趣的朋友自己看吧!我會聽到她的歌也是有緣由的;因為有天跟火星人在線上聊天,她說她最想去愛爾蘭旅游..說著說著我就到Google上搜尋有關愛爾蘭的一些資料,唉!但是現在..欲哭無淚呀..每次聽到她的歌就想到我失聯已久的"火星人"啊..

When in the springtime of the year
When the trees are crowned with leaves
When the ash and oak, and the birch and yew
Are dressed in ribbons fair

When owls call the breathless moon
In the blue veil of the night
The shadows of the trees appear
Amidst the lantern light

We've been rambling all the night
And some time of this day
Now returning back again
we bring a garland gay

Who will go down to those shady groves
And summon the shadows there
And tie a ribbon on those sheltering arms
In the springtime of the year

The songs of birds seem to fill the wood
That when the fiddler plays
All their voices can be heard
Long past their woodland days

We've been rambling all the night
And some time of this day
Now returning back again
we bring a garland gay

And so they linked their hands and danced
Round in circles and in rows
And so the journey of the night descends
When all the shades are gone

"A garland gay we bring you here
And at your door we stand
It is a sprout well budded out
The work of Our Lord's hand"

We've been rambling all the night
And some time of this day
Now returning back again
we bring a garland gay
