基本介紹
〈Nancy Mulligan〉是由英國新生代歌手Ed Sheeran (艾德·希蘭)演唱的一首歌曲，是Ed Sheeran (艾德·希蘭)2017年新專輯《÷ (Deluxe)》中的第15首。
Nancy Mulligan是Ed三專中較為個人化的曲子，創作靈感來自於一段真實的愛情故事。主人公Nancy是一位來自南愛爾蘭的天主教徒，她與來自北愛爾蘭倫敦德里的新教徒小伙William相知相戀，最終不顧家長反對私奔成婚，而William和Nancy即為Ed的祖父母William Sheeran 和 Anne Mulligan。
此曲極具愛爾蘭風格，簡單的旋律，悠揚的風笛和貫穿始終的小提琴聲線，組成這樣一首樸實的愛爾蘭民謠小品，與主人公樸實的愛情故事相得益彰。由於Ed的愛爾蘭背景，他的一些曲子中會或多或少的出現愛爾蘭元素。他曾在一次訪談中說道：“我認為現在愛爾蘭音樂元素在流行音樂當中的套用還遠遠不夠，由於一些原因，愛爾蘭音樂總被人認為很陳舊，很造作，但其實它很引人入勝，也富有活力，它應該站在流行文化的前沿。但願這些音樂能獲得成功，使更多人更喜歡愛爾蘭音樂”
歌曲歌詞
Nancy Mulligan - Ed Sheeran
I was twenty four years old when
I met the woman I would call my own
Twenty two grand kids now growing old,
in the house that your brother brought ya
On the summer day when I proposed,
I made that wedding ring from dentist gold
And I asked her father but her daddy said no
You can’t marry my daughter
She and I went on the run
Don’t care about religion
I’m gonna marry the woman I love
Down by the Wexford border
She was Nancy Mulligan, and I was William Sheeran
She took my name and then we were one
Down by the Wexford border
Well I met at her Guys in the second world war
She was working on a soldier’s ward
Never had I seen such beauty before
The moment that I saw her
Nancy was my yellow rose
And we got married wearing borrowed clothes
We got eight children now growing old
Five sons and three daughters
She and I went on the run
Don’t care about religion
I’m gonna marry the woman I love
Down by the Wexford border
She was Nancy Mulligan, and I was William Sheeran
She took my name and then we were one
Down by the Wexford border
From her snow white streak in her jet black hair
Over sixty years I’ve been loving her
Now we’re sat by the fire, in our old armchairs
You know Nancy I adore ya
From a farm boy born near Belfast town
I never worried about the king and crown
Cause I found my heart upon the southern ground
There’s no difference, I assure ya
She and I went on the run
Don’t care about religion
I’m gonna marry the woman I love
Down by the Wexford border
She was Nancy Mulligan, and I was William Sheeran
She took my name and then we were one
Down by the Wexford border
