《V. ”The lads in their hundreds”》歌词

[00:00:00] A Shropshire Lad - V. "The lads in their hundreds" - Ian Bostridge

[00:00:00] Composed by：George Butterworth

[00:00:00] The lads in their hundreds to

[00:00:02] Ludlow come in for the fair

[00:00:05] There's men from the barn and the

[00:00:07] Forge and the mill and the fold

[00:00:10] The lads for the girls and

[00:00:12] The lads for the liquor are there

[00:00:15] And there with the rest are

[00:00:18] The lads that will never be old

[00:00:25] There's chaps from the town and

[00:00:27] The field and the till and the cart

[00:00:30] And many to count are the stalwart

[00:00:32] And many the brave

[00:00:35] And many the handsome of face and the handsome of heart

[00:00:40] And few that will carry their looks

[00:00:44] Or their truth to the grave

[00:00:51] I wish one could know them

[00:00:53] I wish there were tokens to tell

[00:00:56] The fortunate fellows that now you can never discern

[00:01:00] And then one could talk with them

[00:01:02] Friendly and wish them farewell

[00:01:06] And watch them depart on the way that

[00:01:11] They will not return

[00:01:18] But now you may stare as you like

[00:01:21] And there's nothing to scan

[00:01:24] And brushing your elbow unguessed-at and not to be told

[00:01:29] They carry back bright to the coiner the mintage of man

[00:01:35] The lads that will die in their glory and never be old
