Nancy Mulligan

基本介绍

〈Nancy Mulligan〉是由英国新生代歌手Ed Sheeran (艾德·希兰)演唱的一首歌曲，是Ed Sheeran (艾德·希兰)2017年新专辑《÷ (Deluxe)》中的第15首。Nancy Mulligan是Ed三专中较为个人化的曲子，创作灵感来自于一段真实的爱情故事。主人公Nancy是一位来自南爱尔兰的天主教徒，她与来自北爱尔兰伦敦德里的新教徒小伙William相知相恋，最终不顾家长反对私奔成婚，而William和Nancy即为Ed的祖父母William Sheeran 和 Anne Mulligan。此曲极具爱尔兰风格，简单的旋律，悠扬的风笛和贯穿始终的小提琴声线，组成这样一首朴实的爱尔兰民谣小品，与主人公朴实的爱情故事相得益彰。由于Ed的爱尔兰背景，他的一些曲子中会或多或少的出现爱尔兰元素。他曾在一次访谈中说道：“我认为现在爱尔兰音乐元素在流行音乐当中的套用还远远不够，由于一些原因，爱尔兰音乐总被人认为很陈旧，很造作，但其实它很引人入胜，也富有活力，它应该站在流行文化的前沿。但愿这些音乐能获得成功，使更多人更喜欢爱尔兰音乐”

歌曲歌词

Nancy Mulligan – Ed SheeranI was twenty four years old whenI met the woman I would call my ownTwenty two grand kids now growing old,in the house that your brother brought yaOn the summer day when I proposed,I made that wedding ring from dentist goldAnd I asked her father but her daddy said noYou can’t marry my daughterShe and I went on the runDon’t care about religionI’m gonna marry the woman I loveDown by the Wexford borderShe was Nancy Mulligan, and I was William SheeranShe took my name and then we were oneDown by the Wexford borderWell I met at her Guys in the second world warShe was working on a soldier’s wardNever had I seen such beauty beforeThe moment that I saw herNancy was my yellow roseAnd we got married wearing borrowed clothesWe got eight children now growing oldFive sons and three daughtersShe and I went on the runDon’t care about religionI’m gonna marry the woman I loveDown by the Wexford borderShe was Nancy Mulligan, and I was William SheeranShe took my name and then we were oneDown by the Wexford borderFrom her snow white streak in her jet black hairOver sixty years I’ve been loving herNow we’re sat by the fire, in our old armchairsYou know Nancy I adore yaFrom a farm boy born near Belfast townI never worried about the king and crownCause I found my heart upon the southern groundThere’s no difference, I assure yaShe and I went on the runDon’t care about religionI’m gonna marry the woman I loveDown by the Wexford borderShe was Nancy Mulligan, and I was William SheeranShe took my name and then we were oneDown by the Wexford border
