Ireland - 12 - Eileen Donaghy - The Spinning Wheel

 

 

동서양을 막론하고 실 잣는 물래와 여인들의 애환은 현대인의 가슴을 찡 하게 하는 감회를 준다.

아래 가사처럼 부드러운 달빛이 비추이면 여인들은 물래를 잣기 시작 한다.

낮에는 밭일 논일, 가사로 물래 곁에 앉을 여유가 없기 때문이다.  

아래 가사처럼 젊은 아가씨가 명랑하고 유쾌하게 노래부르며 여유 있게 실을 잣을 수는 없지 싶다.

오히려 한숨소리와 꾸벅 꾸벅 졸림을 참으며 물래를 돌렸으리라... 

 

 

 Spinning Wheel

            - Song By : Eileen Donaghy -

 

Mellow the moonlight to shine is beginning

Close by the window young Eileen is spinning

Bent o'er the fire her grand grandmother sitting

is crooning and moaning and drowsily knitting.

 

cho: Merrily cheerily noisily whirring

Swings the wheel spins the wheel while the foot's stirring

Sprightly and lightly and merrily ringing

Sounds the sweet voice of the young maiden singing.

 

Eileen, a chara, I hear someone tapping

'Tis the ivy dear mother against the glass flapping

Eileen, I surely hear somebody sighing

'Tis the sound mother dear of the autumn winds dying.

 

 

 

There's a form at the casement, the form of her true love

And he whispers with face bent, I'm waiting for you love

Get up on the stool, through the lattice step lightly

And we'll rove in the grove while the moon's shining brightly.

 

cho: Merrily cheerily noisily whirring

Swings the wheel spins the wheel while the foot's stirring

Sprightly and lightly and merrily ringing

Sounds the sweet voice of the young maiden singing.

 

The maid shakes her head, on her lips lays her fingers

Steals up from the seat, longs to go and yet lingers

A frightened glance turns to her drowsy grandmother

Puts one foot on the stool spins the wheel with the other

 

Lazily, easily, swings now the wheel round

Slowly and lowly is heard now the reel's sound

Noiseless and light to the lattice above her

The maid steps, then leaps to the arms of her lover.

 

Slower and slower, and slower the wheel swings

Lower and lower, and lower the reel rings

there the reel and the wheel stop their spinning and moving

The grove the young lovers by moonlight are roving
