(如果看视频的时候比较卡，请点击暂停，过一会再看就会顺畅很多的）
Craigie Hill
Cara Dillon一首美丽的《Craigie Hill》(克雷吉山)，据说感动了整个爱尔兰。
虽然音乐中关于爱的故事很美丽，但关于Craigie Hill,美丽的克雷吉山,
的说明却并不多。根据google到的资料，Craigie Hill在苏格兰的Perth，而Craigie，在苏格兰语里是多石的，崎岖的意思。
Perth还有一位著名的苏格兰诗人叫做William Soutar，他曾经写了一首小诗《Patriotism》（大约可以译作《故乡之爱》）来追忆故乡，抄录在下面：
Whan I haik't up to Craigie Hill
And lookit east and west;
"In a' the world," said I to mysel',
"My ain shire is the best."
Whan I haik't up to Craigie Hill
And frae the hicht look't doun;
"There is nae place," said I to mysel',
"Mair braw nor our borough-toun."
And a' be mysel' on Craigie Hill
I spak in the Lord's ear;
"O! whan the haly bugles trill
Lat me wauken up richt here.!
由于原诗是苏格兰语写的，这里有段不大精确的翻译：
当我登上克雷吉山，
我东西环望；
“在这个世界上”，我对自己说，
“我自己乡村是美最好的。”
当我登上克雷吉山，
从山顶向下观望；
“没有什么地方”，我对自己说，
“可以比我们的城镇更美好。”
而我就在这克雷吉山上，
我对上帝把话说；
“噢！当神圣的号角响起，
就让我在片土地上醒来！”
这是一首据说感动了整个爱尔兰的歌，觉得很不错，歌声很空灵。
Craigie Hill
歌名：Craigie Hill
歌手：Cara Dillon
It being in the springtime and the small birds they were singing
Down by yon shady arbour I carelessly did stray
The thrushes they were warbling, the violets they were charming
To view fond lovers talking, a while I did delay
那个鸟儿欢跃的春季
沿着绿荫下的凉亭，我迷失了方向
娇媚的紫罗兰引来画眉清吟
情侣们的低语使我停下脚步
She said, my dear don't leave me all for another season
Though fortune does be pleasing I'll go along with you
I'll forsake friends and relations and bid this Irish nation
And to the bonny Bann banks forever I'll bid adieu
她说：亲爱的，不要留下我一人
财富和安逸也不能让我离开你
我愿放弃一切，甚至是神灵的祝愿
我们永远都不说再见
He said, my dear don't grieve or yet annoy my patience
You know I love you dearly a more I'm going away
I'm going to a foreign nation to purchase a plantation
To comfort us hereafter all in America
他说：亲爱的，不要悲伤
无论到哪里，你都是我唯一所爱
我会去开辟一片新天地
让我们能幸福生活的新天地
Then after a short while a fortune does be pleasing
'Twill cause them for to smile at our late going away
We'll be happy as Queen Victoria, all in her greatest glory
We'll be drinking wine and porter, all in America
这一刻不会太久
相信我，我们会好起来
会像女王一样享受荣耀和快乐
我们会在那里继续对饮谈笑
If you were in your bed lying and thinking on dying
The sight of the lovely Bann banks your sorrow you'd give o'er
Or if were down one hour, down in yon shady bower
Pleasure would surround you, you'd think on death no more
如果恐惧让你辗转反侧
爱神便会把你带到我身旁
瞬间我们便会相聚，相聚在安静优美的凉亭中
幸福的气息会让你忘记任何的忧虑
Then fare you well, sweet Craigie Hill, where often times I've roved
I never thought my childhood days I'd part you any more
Now we're sailing on the ocean for honour d promotion
And the bonny boats are sailing, way down by Doorin shore
再会了，我永远的克雷吉山
童年时我从没想过会离开
而今，带着我们荣誉和梦想的小舟已从Doorin 海岸起航了
