《The Ballad of St. Anne’s Reel》歌词

[00:00:00] The Ballad Of St. Anne's Reel - The Dubliners

[00:00:00] He was stranded in some tiny town

[00:00:03] On fair Prince Edward Isle

[00:00:05] Awaiting for a ship to come and find him

[00:00:09] A one-horse place a friendly face some coffee

[00:00:12] And a tiny trace

[00:00:14] Of fiddling in the distance far behind him

[00:00:18] A dime across the counter then a shy hello a

[00:00:21] Brand new friend

[00:00:22] A walk along the street in the wintry weather

[00:00:26] A yellow light an open door a welcome friend there's

[00:00:30] Room for more

[00:00:31] And then they're standing there inside together

[00:00:34] He said I've heard that tune before somewhere but I can't

[00:00:37] Remember when

[00:00:38] Was it on some other friendly shore or did I hear

[00:00:41] It on the wind

[00:00:43] Was it written on the sky above I think I heard it

[00:00:47] From someone I love

[00:00:48] But I never heard it sound so sweet since then

[00:01:11] Now his feet begin to tap a little boy says I'll

[00:01:15] Take your hat

[00:01:15] He's caught up in the magic of her smile

[00:01:19] And leap the heart inside him went and off across

[00:01:22] The floor he sent

[00:01:23] His clumsy body graceful as a child

[00:01:27] He said there's magic in the fiddler's arm there's

[00:01:30] Magic in this town

[00:01:31] There's magic in the dancers' feet and the way they

[00:01:34] Put them down

[00:01:37] Smiling People everywhere boots and ribbons locks of hair

[00:01:41] And laughter and old blue suits and Easter gowns

[00:02:04] Now the sailor's gone the room is bare the old piano's

[00:02:07] Sitting there

[00:02:08] Someone's hat's left hanging on the rack

[00:02:12] And empty chairs the wooden floor that feels the touch

[00:02:16] Of shoes no more

[00:02:17] Awaiting for the dancers to come back

[00:02:20] And the fiddle's in the closet of some daughter of the town

[00:02:25] The strings are broke and the bow is gone and the cover

[00:02:27] 'S buttoned down

[00:02:30] But sometimes on December nights when the air is cold and

[00:02:33] The wind is right

[00:02:34] There's a melody that passes through this town
