11.3 老小姐還沒有介紹過這一類型的歌,用天籟唱出的愛爾蘭音樂。
在決定介紹前有點遲疑,並非因為它的冷門,
而是面對這樣美的歌聲,拿來翻譯,就怕褻瀆了這首歌。

這是由已經五十幾歲的加拿大女歌手Loreena McKennitt翻唱愛爾蘭民謠。
也許你不認識她,她可是所有專輯都是自己製作銷售,未加入任何唱片公司,
但至今已銷售超過一千四百萬張,很厲害吧!
因為老小姐很喜歡,所以還是想介紹給你。

你會發現這首歌的英文與我們所認識的不太一樣,因為那是愛爾蘭英語,
有很多部分與一般英語不同。

在你進入這首歌前,可以開始準備一個老電影的場景--
那種在歐洲鄉村農舍的一幕,然後跟著歌詞走,你會領略一切的。
一個年輕的騎兵與一個小姑娘偷偷相約在夜半的私會,然後在破曉之時離去。
