《There Were Roses》歌词:
[00:06.96]My song for you this evening
[00:10.40]Is not to make you sad
[00:13.39]Nor for adding to the sorrows
[00:16.72]Of this troubled northern land
[00:20.21]But lately I've been thinking
[00:23.02]And it just wont leave my mind
[00:26.66]I'll tell you of two friends one time
[00:30.01]Who were both good friends of mine
[00:33.23]Isaac he was Protestant
[00:36.71]And Sean was Catholic born
[00:38.07]But it never made a difference
[00:43.03]For the friendship it was strong
[00:46.91]And sometimes in the evening
[00:49.68]When we heard the sound of drums
[00:53.02]we said they wont divide us
[00:56.00]We will always be as one
[01:00.80]There were roses roses
[01:07.53]There were roses
[01:12.70]And the tears of a people ran together
[01:32.60]It was on a Sunday morning
[01:35.84]When the awful news came round
[01:39.16]Another killing had been done
[01:42.28]Just outside Newry Town
[01:46.17]We knew that Isaac danced up there
[01:48.99]We knew he liked the band
[01:51.63]But when we heard that he was dead
[01:55.64]We just could not understand
[01:58.86]Now fear it filled the countryside
[02:00.90]There was fear in every home
[02:05.36]When late at night a car came
[02:08.19]Prowling round the Ryan Road
[02:11.98]A Catholic would be killed tonight
[02:15.27]To even up the score
[02:18.42]Oh Christ it's young MacDonald
[02:21.40]They have taken from the door
[02:25.24]There were roses roses
[02:31.42]There were roses
[02:36.35]And the tears of a people ran together
[02:56.91]Isaac was my friend he cried
[02:59.73]He begged them with his tears
[03:02.78]But centuries of hatred
[03:05.83]Have ears that do not hear
[03:09.54]An eye for an eye
[03:13.18]That was all that filled their minds
[03:15.79]And another eye for another eye
[03:19.37]Till everyone was blind
[03:22.71]Now I don't know where the moral is
[03:25.99]Or where the song should end
[03:29.61]But I wonder just how many wars
[03:32.47]Are fought between good friends
[03:35.15]And those who give the orders
[03:38.77]Are not the ones to die
[03:42.39]It's Scott and young MacDonald
[03:45.21]And the likes of you and I
[03:50.16]There were roses roses
[03:56.77]There were roses
[04:01.85]And the tears of a people ran together

[00:06.96]今夜我为你所唱的歌
[00:10.40]不是要使你悲伤
[00:13.39]也不是要增添忧愁
[00:16.72]关于这片困扰的北方大地
[00:20.21]可最近我常常想起
[00:23.02]那从未在我脑海中散去的一切
[00:26.66]我想向你讲述我曾经的朋友
[00:30.01]两位皆是我的挚友
[00:33.23]艾萨克是新教徒
[00:36.71]肖恩信奉天主教
[00:38.07]但这从未有任何影响
[00:43.03]因为友谊坚固
[00:46.91]夜晚的某些时刻
[00:49.68]当他们听见鼓声喧天
[00:53.02]他们说喧嚣不会使我们分裂
[00:56.00]我们始终如一
[01:00.80]那些玫瑰啊,玫瑰
[01:07.53]那些玫瑰
[01:12.70]人们泪如雨下
[01:32.60]那是一个礼拜天的上午
[01:35.84]可怕的消息传来
[01:39.16]又一场杀戮展开
[01:42.28]就在纽里镇外
[01:46.17]我们知道艾萨克在那儿跳舞
[01:48.99]并且他喜欢乐队
[01:51.63]但当我们得知他已死去
[01:55.64]让人根本无法相信
[01:58.86]现在恐惧笼罩乡村
[02:00.90]在每一个家庭中蔓延
[02:05.36]夜深时一辆汽车开来
[02:08.19]徘徊在莱恩路
[02:11.98]一名天主教徒今晚将被处死
[02:15.27]为了报复
[02:18.42]噢,救世主啊,是年轻的麦克唐纳
[02:21.40]他们从门边抓走了他
[02:25.24]那些玫瑰啊,玫瑰
[02:31.42]那些玫瑰
[02:36.35]人们泪如雨下
[02:56.91]他哭着说艾萨克是我的朋友
[02:59.73]并用眼泪乞求他们
[03:02.78]但几个世纪的仇恨
[03:05.83]堵住了他们的双耳
[03:09.54]以牙还牙,以眼还眼
[03:13.18]他们心中只有这些
[03:15.79]又一只眼交换又一只眼
[03:19.37]直到所有人都失明
[03:22.71]现在我不明白道德都去了哪儿
[03:25.99]歌曲该在哪里结束
[03:29.61]我只是想到有多少战争
[03:32.47]是发生在好朋友之中
[03:35.15]那些下达命令者
[03:38.77]却不是牺牲的人
[03:42.39]牺牲的是斯科特和年轻的麦克唐纳
[03:45.21]或是在你我之间
[03:50.16]那些玫瑰啊,玫瑰
[03:56.77]那些玫瑰
[04:01.85]人们泪如雨下
