The Creggan White Hare - Karan Casey

In the lowlands of Creggan there lives a white hare
在克里冈的低地住着一只大野兔
As swift as a swallow as she flies through the air
像燕子一样敏捷她在空中飞翔
You may travel the country but none could compare
你可以走遍全国但没有人能比得上
With the pride of the Creggan that bonnie white hare
带着克里冈人的骄傲就像一只漂亮的小兔子
One fine Sunday morning as you may suppose
如你所料一个晴朗的周日早晨
A red golden sun o'er the green mountain rose
鲜红的太阳照耀着青青的山峰
Barney Conway came down and did loudly declare

Today I'll put an end to that Creggan white hare

So he searched through the lowlands and down through the glens
于是他找遍了低地和峡谷
Among the green rushes where the white hare had dens
在嫩绿的灯心草之间白兔的窝里
'til at last coming over the bog-bank so bare
直到最后来到一片荒芜的沼泽地
From behind a white thistle out jumped the white hare
一只小白兔从一株白色的蓟花后面跳了出来
Well he gave a great yelp and his dog she slipped too
他大声叫了一声他的狗也摔倒了
As swift as the wind o'er the green mountain flew
就像越过青山的风一样迅速
But the dogs soon came back which made poor Barney sigh
但狗很快就回来了这让可怜的巴尼叹息不已
For he knew that the white hair had bid him good-bye

With pedigree greyhounds they came from afar

'til at last Barney Conway as he came on its lair

Shouted out to the huntsmen Here lies the white hair

So they called in their greyhounds from off the green lea

And on the turf bank they all gathered around

She stood on her hind legs she rose her big ear

She ris on her toes and with one gallant spring

Cleared over the greyhounds and broke through the ring

Oh the chase it went on it was a beautiful view

As swift as the wind o'er the green mountain flew

But the pedigree greyhounds they didn't get far

They came back and went home in their fine motor car
