Atlan 是一個(gè)來(lái)自愛(ài)爾蘭的民謠組合。Altan前身是夫妻檔的二重唱組合。他們是來(lái)自Belfast的笛子演奏家Frankie Kennedy和出生在Donegal郡的Gweedore，著名的小提琴家Francie Ou2019Maonaigh的女兒，歌手兼小提琴手Mairead Niu2019 Mahaonaigh。與其他北部的音樂(lè)家一樣，F(xiàn)rankie經(jīng)常在假日期間來(lái)Gweedore學(xué)習(xí)和演奏Donegal風(fēng)格的音樂(lè)。他是在當(dāng)?shù)鼐瓢傻囊魳?lè)集會(huì)上結(jié)識(shí)Mairead的，成為戀人后他們同赴都柏林St. Oliver Plunkett School擔(dān)任小學(xué)教師。1979年，他們參與了蓋爾語(yǔ)歌手Albert Fry同名處女專輯的錄音工作，這次自由而富有想象力的制作，揭開(kāi)了他們音樂(lè)生涯嶄新的篇章。

　　這是一首愛(ài)爾蘭民歌。

　　歌曲講述的是一個(gè)父親把二十四歲的女兒嫁給一個(gè)十四歲的富家子弟，女兒不愿意，擔(dān)心等到丈夫長(zhǎng)大了，自己已經(jīng)老了。但是父親說(shuō)自己的安排沒(méi)錯(cuò)，她把女兒嫁給有錢(qián)的年輕人，等他老了，女兒就有人能依靠。但是后來(lái)那個(gè)富家子弟還沒(méi)長(zhǎng)大就死了，女孩非常悲傷，在綠草如茵的墓地上用法蘭絨為他織壽衣。

　　歌詞：

　　The trees they grow high,the leaves they do grow green,

　　Many is the time my true love I’ve seen,

　　Many an hour I have watched him all alone.

　　He’s young but he’s daily growing.

　　Father,dear father,you’ve done my great wrong,

　　You have married me to a boy who is too young,I am twice twelve and he is but fourteen,

　　He’s young but he’s daily growing.

　　Daughter, dear daughter, I’ve done you no wrong,

　　I have married you to a great lord’s son,

　　He will be a man for you when I am dead and gone,

　　He’s young but he’s daily growing

　　Father, dear father, if you see fit,

　　We’ll send him to college for another year yet,

　　I’ll tie a blue ribbon all around his head,

　　To let the maidens know that he is married.

　　One day I was looking over my father’s castle wall,

　　I spied all the boys playing with a ball,

　　And my own true love was the flower of them all,

　　He’s young but he’s daily growing.

　　And so early in the morning at the dawning of the day,

　　They went into a hayfield to have some sport and play,

　　And what they did there she never would declare,

　　But she never more complained of his growing.

　　At the age of fourteen he was a married man,

　　At the age of fifteen the father of my son,

　　At the age of sixteen his grave it was green,

　　And death had put an end to his growing.

　　I’ll buy my love some flannel, I’ll make my love a shroud,

　　With every stitch I put in it, the tears they will pour down,

　　With every stitch I put in it, how the tears they will flow,

　　Cruel fate has put an end to his growing.
