雨水的诗歌和童谣
童谣内容
The wind, the wind, the wind blows high,
The rain comes scattering from the sky.
She is handsome, she is pretty,
She is the girl of the golden city.
She goes a-courting, one, two, three,
Please and tell me who is she.
风啊,风啊,风吹得高。雨从天空洒下来。
她很健美,她很可爱,她是金色城之女。
她要恋爱,一二三。请你告诉我她是谁。
这是一首爱尔兰的传统歌谣,是个字谜,Goes a-courting的字谜答案是Sues(名字)。
原歌名叫Tell me ma。原歌词从She's so handsome开始,稍有不同是:She's the belle of Belfast City.
歌曲通常搭配着爱尔兰踢踏舞来跳,也很适合小朋友边唱边玩转圈游戏。
