[00:12.43] | Kilkelly Ireland, eighteen and sixty, my dear and lovin' son John |
[00:21.03] | Your good friend the Schoolmaster Pat McNamara |
[00:25.83] | So good as to write these words down |
[00:29.78] | Your brothers have all gone to find work in England |
[00:35.00] | The house is so empty and sad |
[00:39.09] | The crop of potatoes is sorely infected |
[00:43.33] | A third to a half of them bad |
[00:47.74] | And your sister Brigid and Patrick O'Donnell |
[00:52.50] | Are going to be married in June |
[00:56.69] | Your mother says not to work on the railroad |
[01:00.93] | And be sure to come on home soon |
[01:05.86] | |
[01:05.87] | Kilkelly Ireland, eighteen and sixty, my dear and lovin' son John |
[01:14.24] | Hello to your missus and to your four children |
[01:18.68] | May they grow healthy and strong |
[01:23.05] | Michael has got in a wee bit of trouble |
[01:27.17] | I suppose he never will learn |
[01:31.73] | Because of the dampness there's no turf to speak of |
[01:36.36] | And now we have nothing to burn |
[01:40.50] | And Brigid is happy, you named a child for her |
[01:45.00] | Although she's got six of her own |
[01:49.30] | You say you've found work |
[01:51.51] | But you don't say what kind |
[01:53.63] | Or when you'll be comin' home |
[01:58.42] | |
[01:58.43] | Kilkelly Ireland, eighteen and eighty, dear Michael and John my sons |
[02:06.66] | I'm sorry to give you the very sad news |
[02:12.12] | Your mother has gone |
[02:15.65] | We buried her down at the church in Kilkelly |
[02:19.90] | Your brothers and Bridget were there |
[02:24.02] | You don't have to worry, she died very quickly |
[02:28.68] | Remember her in your prayers |
[02:32.82] | And it's so good to hear that Michael's returning with money he's sure to buy land |
[02:41.51] | For the crop has been poor and the people are selling |
[02:46.64] | For any price that they can |
[02:50.50] | |
[02:50.51] | Kilkelly Ireland, eighteen and ninety, my dear and lovin' son John |
[02:59.09] | I suppose that I must be close on eighty |
[03:03.50] | It's thirty years since you've gone |
[03:07.47] | Because of all of the money you sent me |
[03:12.12] | I'm still living' out of my own |
[03:16.38] | Michael has built himself a fine house |
[03:20.96] | And Bridget's daughters have grown |
[03:25.35] | And thank you for sendin' your family picture |
[03:29.92] | They're lovely young women and men |
[03:34.12] | You say you might even come for a visit |
[03:38.38] | What a joy to see you again |
[03:44.43] | |
[03:44.44] | Kilkelly Ireland, eighteen and ninety two, my dear brother John |
[03:51.60] | I'm sorry I didn't write sooner to tell you that father has gone |
[04:00.60] | He was living with Brigid, she said he was cheerful and healthy right down to the end |
[04:09.19] | And you should have seen him play with the grandchildren |
[04:13.95] | Of Pat McNamara your friend |
[04:17.96] | And we buried him alongside of mother |
[04:22.34] | Down at Kilkelly churchyard |
[04:26.68] | He was a strong and a feisy old man |
[04:31.31] | Considering that life is so hard |
[04:35.35] | And it's funny the way he kept talkin' about you |
[04:40.25] | He called for you at the end |
[04:44.75] | And why don't you think about comin' to visit |
[04:49.79] | We'd all love to see you again |

[00:12.43] | 爱尔兰基尔凯利镇,1860年,我亲爱的儿子约翰: |
[00:21.03] | 你的好友帕特·麦克纳马拉校长 |
[00:25.83] | 他好心帮我写了这封信 |
[00:29.78] | 你的兄弟们都去英格兰找工作了 |
[00:35.00] | 现在,屋子空荡荡的,让人神伤 |
[00:39.09] | 地里的土豆遭受很强的虫害袭击 |
[00:43.33] | 三分之一甚至一半都坏掉了 |
[00:47.74] | 你的妹妹布丽奇特和帕特里克·奥唐奈 |
[00:52.50] | 将于六月份结婚 |
[00:56.69] | 你的妈妈说不久就不再去铁路上上班了 |
[01:00.93] | 她确信这次真的是要待家里了 |
[01:05.86] | |
[01:05.87] | 爱尔兰基尔凯利镇,1870年,我亲爱的儿子约翰: |
[01:14.24] | 向你的妻子和四个孩子问好 |
[01:18.68] | 祝愿他们健康,茁壮成长 |
[01:23.05] | 迈克尔(约翰的兄弟)有点小小的麻烦 |
[01:27.17] | 我想他没有从以前的经验中汲取教训 |
[01:31.73] | 因为气候太潮湿的缘故,这里没了干草 |
[01:36.36] | 现在我们没得可烧的东西了 |
[01:40.50] | 布丽奇特很高兴你给她的孩子取名 |
[01:45.00] | 尽管她已经有了六个孩子 |
[01:49.30] | 你说你刚找到一份工作 |
[01:51.51] | 但是没说是什么样的工作 |
[01:53.63] | 也没说你什么时候回家 |
[01:58.42] | |
[01:58.43] | 爱尔兰基尔凯利镇,1880年,亲爱的迈克尔和儿子约翰: |
[02:06.66] | 我很抱歉要告诉你一个非常悲伤的消息 |
[02:12.12] | 你的妈妈逝世了 |
[02:15.65] | 我们把她葬在了基尔凯利镇的教堂边 |
[02:19.90] | 你的兄弟们和布丽奇特那天都在 |
[02:24.02] | 你不要太忧虑,她走得很快 |
[02:28.68] | 你做祷告的时候不要忘记妈妈 |
[02:32.82] | 还有一件想必你听了高兴的事,迈克尔挣了一些钱回来了,而且真的买了一块地 |
[02:41.51] | 因为地里的收成实在糟糕,人们都在卖地 |
[02:46.64] | 只要给点底钱,他们几乎都会卖 |
[02:50.50] | |
[02:50.51] | 爱尔兰基尔凯利镇,1890年,我亲爱的儿子约翰: |
[02:59.09] | 我马上就要八十岁了 |
[03:03.50] | 而你已经走了整整三十年 |
[03:07.47] | 正是因为你寄来的所有的钱 |
[03:12.12] | 我才能活到这个年龄,几乎超出了我的命数 |
[03:16.38] | 迈克尔已经给自己盖了所很好的房子 |
[03:20.96] | 布丽奇特的小妮子们长得都很喜人 |
[03:25.35] | 谢谢吾儿你寄来的你的全家福 |
[03:29.92] | 他们是些非常可爱的年轻男女 |
[03:34.12] | 你说你甚至有可能回来看望我们 |
[03:38.38] | 能再次见到你,这是多么让人高兴的事 |
[03:44.43] | |
[03:44.44] | 爱尔兰基尔凯利镇,1892年,我亲爱的兄弟约翰: |
[03:51.60] | 抱歉我没有及时写信给你,告诉你父亲去世的事 |
[04:00.60] | 他一直和Brigid生活在一起,她说,父亲愉快而健康,直到寿终正寝 |
[04:09.19] | 而且,你真应该看看他和你的朋友 |
[04:13.95] | 帕特·麦克纳马拉的孙辈们玩耍时的样子 |
[04:17.96] | 我们把他葬在了妈妈旁边 |
[04:22.34] | 就是在咱们基尔凯利镇教堂的墓地里 |
[04:26.68] | 他是个很坚强的倔老头 |
[04:31.31] | 因为生活是如此的艰辛 |
[04:35.35] | 他总是提起你,而他提起你的时候总是很有趣 |
[04:40.25] | 临走的时候还在叫你的名字 |
[04:44.75] | 为什么不考虑一下回来看看我们 |
[04:49.79] | 我们都真心盼着再见到你 |
