[ti:The Star Of The County Down] [ar:Various Artists] [al:Pure Irish Tenors] [by:] [offset:0] [00:00.00]The Star Of The County Down (邓恩郡之星) - Classical Artists [00:06.59]Near Banbridge town, in the County Down [00:09.71]One evening last July [00:11.95]Down a boithrin green came a sweet cailin [00:15.58]And she smiled as she passed me by. [00:18.14]She looked so neat in her two bare feet [00:20.95]To the sheen of her nut-brown hair [00:23.14]Such a coaxing elf, I'd to shake myself [00:25.52]To make sure I was standing there. [00:27.77] [00:28.50]From Bantry Bay down to Derry Quay [00:30.69]From Galway to Dublin town [00:34.13] [00:34.96]No maid I've seen like the fair cailin [00:36.92]That I met in the County Down. [00:38.72] [00:44.60]As she onward sped I shook my head [00:47.53]And I gazed with a feeling queer [00:50.22]And I said, says I, to a passerby [00:52.95]"Who's your one with the nut-brown hair?" [00:55.32]He smiled at me, and with pride says he, [00:58.38]"She's the gem of old Ireland's crown. [01:00.95]Young Rosie McCann from the banks of the Bann [01:03.69]And the star of the County Down." [01:04.77]From Bantry Bay down to Derry Quay [01:08.77] [01:09.93]From Galway to Dublin town [01:11.75]No maid I've seen like the fair cailin [01:14.37]That I met in the County Down. [01:16.87] [01:22.68]At the harvest fair she'll be surely there [01:25.49]and I'll dress my Sunday clothes [01:28.04]With my hat cocked right and my shoes shon bright [01:31.35]for a smile from the nut-brown Rose [01:33.23] [01:33.79]No horse I'll yoke, or pipe I smoke, [01:36.90]'til the rust in my plough turn brown [01:38.57]And a smiling bride by my own fireside [01:41.88]sits the star of the County Down [01:45.62]From Bantry Bay down to Derry Quay [01:47.85]From Galway to Dublin town [01:50.53] [01:51.13]No maid I've seen like the fair cailin [01:55.44] [01:56.10]That I met in the County Down.
