Phil Coulter - Celtic Tranquility (2010) by Phil Coulter (보컬) on maniadb.com

The Water Is Wide (바다는 넓고)

The water is wide I can't cross over
바다가 너무 넓어 건널 수가 없어요
And neither have the wings to fly
난 날 수 있는 날개도 없는걸요
Give me a boat that can carry two ?
배를 주세요 두 사람이 탈 수 있는
And both shall row, my love and I
우리 둘이 저어 갈께요, 내 사랑과 내가

Oh, love is gentle and love is kind
사랑은 부드럽고, 사랑은 다정하죠
The sweetest flower when first it's new
처음 꽃피울 때는 가장 향기로운 꽃이지만
But love grows old and waxes cold
사랑도 나이가 들고 차갑게 식어버리다가
and fades away like morning dew
아침 이슬처럼 사라져 버리네요

There is a ship and she sails to sea
바다로 흘러가는 배가 하나 있네요
She's loaded deep as deep can be
짐을 가득 실었지만
But not as deep as the love I'm in
당신에게 빠진 내 사랑만큼 가득하진 않아요
I know not how I sink or swim
내 사랑이 가라앉을지 헤쳐 나갈지는 나도 모르겠네요

In my memory, I will always see
The town that I have loved so well
Where our school played ball by the gas yard wall
And they laughed through the smoke and the smell
Going home in the rain, running up the dark lane
Past the jail, and down behind the fountain
Those were happy days in so many, many ways
In the town I loved so well

In the early morning the shirt factory horn
Called women from Kragan, the moor, and the bog
While the men on the dole played a mother's role
Fed the children and then walked the dog
And when times got tough there was just about enough
And they saw it through without complaining
For deep inside was a burning pride
In the town I loved so well

There was music there in the derriere
Like a language that we all could understand
I remember the day that I earned my first pay
When I played in a small pick-up band


There I spent my youth, and to tell you the truth
I was sad to leave it all behind me
For I learned about life, and I found a wife
In the town I loved so well

But when I returned, how my eyes have burned
To see how a town could be brought to it's knees
By the armoured cars and the bombed-out bars
And the gas that hangs on to every breeze
Now the army's installed by that old gas yard wall
And the damned barbed wire gets higher and higher
With their tanks and their guns, oh my god, what have they done
To the town I loved so well

Now the music's gone but they carry on
For their spirits been bruised, never broken
They will not forget but their hearts are set
On tomorrow and peace once again
For what's done is done and what's won is won
And what's lost is lost and gone for ever
I can only pray for a bright, brand new day
In the town I love so well
