懷念的中小學歌曲:清溪水慢慢流(阿頓河)

懷念的中小學歌曲:清溪水慢慢流(Flow Gently, Sweet Afton

 

還記得這首「清溪水慢慢流」?她在小學音樂課本被採用了幾十年,有著濃濃的蘇格蘭調,已成為台灣人的共同回憶。

 

十八世紀的詩人羅伯‧邦斯(Robert,Burns)作了一首Sweet Afton的詩。阿頓河(Afton Water)是蘇格蘭的一條小河。到了十九世紀,美國肯塔基州的一位律師、牧師兼作曲家史匹漫(Jonathan Spilman)把詩譜成歌曲,“Flow gently,sweet Afton”開始傳唱於世。

 

這首歌的中文譯曲有許多種,比較有名的有兩首,一首是《清溪水慢慢流》,另一首叫做《阿頓河》。

 

《清溪水慢慢流》歌詞如下:

 

清溪水,慢慢流,穿過青草地,

慢慢流,聽我歌唱讚美你,

我瑪麗安睡著在靜水之邊,

清溪水,慢慢流,莫擾她安眠。

 

鷓鴣鳥山上叫,聲音很幽婉,

老烏鴉在樹梢,呼聲沈而遠。

清溪水,慢慢流,泉水輕輕湧,

請你們莫吵鬧,讓瑪麗作夢。

 

《阿頓河》歌詞如下:

 

阿頓河,慢慢流,兩岸緣油油

山蒼蒼,風景好,好像催眠曲

我瑪麗,小姑娘,窈窕夢裡遊

烏雲髮,芙蓉臉,時有笑容浮

 

在山上有石屋,石壁,石廳堂

這是我和瑪麗,最愛玩的地方

在這裡可避寒風,亦可避驕陽

更欣賞紅晚霞,相看牧羔羊

羅伯‧邦斯的原詩:


Flow gently, sweet Afton
 

 

Flow gently, sweet Afton,

amang thy green braes,

Flow gently, I'll sing thee

a song in thy praise;

My Mary's asleep

by thy murmuring stream,

Flow gently, sweet Afton,

disturb not her dream.

 

Thou stock dove whose echo

resounds thro' the glen,

Ye wild whistly blackbirds

in yon thorny den,

Thou green crested lapwing

thy screaming forbear,

I charge you, disturb not

my slumbering fair.

 

How lofty, sweet Afton,

thy neighboring hills,

Far mark'd with the courses

of clear winding rills;

There daily I wander

as noon rises high,

My flocks and my Mary's

sweet cot in my eye.

 

How pleasant thy banks

and green valleys below,

Where, wild in the woodlands,

the primroses blow;

There oft, as mild evening

weeps over the lea,

The sweet-scented birk shades

my Mary and me.

 

Thy crystal stream, Afton,

how lovely it glides,

And winds by the cot where

my Mary resides;

How wanton thy waters

her snowy feet lave,

As, gathering sweet flowerets,

she stems thy clear wave.

 

Flow gently, sweet Afton,

among thy green braes,

Flow gently, sweet river,

the theme of my lays;
