[00:00.00] 作词 : Traditional[00:24.78]There lived a lady by the North Sea shore[00:29.10] (Lay the bent to the bonnie broom)[00:33.03] Two daughters were the babes she bore[00:35.55] (Fa la la la la la la la la la)[00:48.06] alternating with each of the lines below>[00:48.93] As one grew bright as is the sun,[00:49.98] So coal black grew the elder one.[00:58.41] A knight came riding to the lady's door,[01:06.78] He'd travelled far to be their wooer.[01:15.93] He courted one with gloves and rings,[01:24.09] But he loved the other above all things.[01:42.21] Oh sister will you go with me[01:45.00] To watch the ships sail on the sea?[01:55.47] She took her sister by the hand[01:57.87] And led her down to the North Sea strand.[01:59.19] And as they stood on the windy shore[02:07.53] The dark girl threw her sister o'er.[02:09.24] Sometimes she sank, sometimes she swam,[02:24.81] Crying, "Sister, reach to me your hand![02:29.04] "Oh Sister, Sister, let me live,[02:31.05] And all that's mine I'll surely give."[02:31.95] "(It's) your own true love that I'll have and more,[02:33.06] But thou shalt never come ashore."[02:34.20] And there she floated like a swan,[02:42.60] The salt sea bore her body on.[03:09.48] Two minstrels walked along the strand[03:18.12] And saw the maiden float to land.[03:28.68] They made a harp of her breastbone,[03:30.42] Whose sound would melt a heart of stone.[03:44.49] They took three locks of her yellow hair,[03:52.80] And with them strung the harp so rare.[04:38.07] They went into her father's hall[04:39.51] To play the harp before them all,[04:40.56] But when they laid it on a stone[04:49.11] The harp began to play alone.[04:57.00] The first string sang a doleful sound:[05:02.40] "The bride her younger sister drowned."[05:11.82] The second string as that they tried,[05:12.54] In terror sits the black-haired bride.[05:13.74] The third string sang beneath their bow,[05:21.24] "And surely now her tears will flow
