Song title Down by the Salley Gardens

Author Yeats, (Yeats, 1865-1939, Irish playwright and poet, won the 1923 Nobel Prize for Literature)

Singing Emi Fujita

Introduction to "Down By the Salley Gardens" ("Down By the Salley Gardens") is composed based on the poem of the same name by the Irish English poet Yeats. It was originally translated as "The Salley Gardens". "In the Garden" is Yeats's early poem. His early poems had beautiful rhythm, delicate emotions, gorgeous rhetoric and rich symbolic meaning. They were obviously influenced by British Romanticism and French Symbolist poetry. The poem's verses are simple, the rhythm is beautiful, it can be chanted and sung, the image is rich, the emotion is delicate, the sadness is striking, and it exhorts life.

The song is performed by Fujita Emi’s beautiful voice with the accompaniment of melodious and ethereal bagpipes. It is quiet and beautiful, and also reveals a touch of sadness. I can’t help but listen to it over and over again...

Lyrics (original text of Yeats' poem and translation by Fu Hao):

Down by the Salley Gardens

My love and I did meet My love and I did meet< /p>

She passed the Salley Gardens

With little snow-white feet

She bid me take love easy I treat this feeling gently

As the leaves grow on the tree

But I being young and foolish< /p>

With her did not agree

In a field by the river In the wilderness by the river

My love and I did stand My lover stands side by side

And on my leaning shoulder

She laid her snow-white hand

She bid me take life easy

As the grass grows on the weirs

But I was young and foolish but I was so young and ignorant

And now am full of tears

The warm and transparent singing voice of British singer Calum Malcolm and the gentle grace of the harp make you feel like you are on the border of heaven.
