The Young May Moon

ふと立ち寄ったロンドンの楽譜店で、美しいケルトのピアノ曲を見つけました。

アイルランドの国民的詩人Thomas Mooreの「The Young May Moon」というアイリッシュ民謡。Carsten Gerlitzのアレンジが素晴らしい。


the young May moon is beaming, love,

the glow-worm's lamp is gleaming, love;

how sweet to rove

through Morna's grove,

when the drowsy world is dreaming, love!

then awake!—the heavens look bright, my dear,

'tis never too late for delight, my dear;

and the best of all ways

to lengthen our days

is to steal a few hours from the night, my dear!
