red river valley 红河谷英文简介：
red river valley is a folk song and cowboy music standard of controversial origins that has gone by different names—e.g., "cowboy love song", "bright sherman valley", "bright laurel valley", "in the bright mohawk valley", and "bright little valley"—depending on where it has been sung. it is listed as roud folk song index 756, and by edith fowke as fo 13. it is recognizable by its chorus (with several variations).
edith fowke offers anecdotal evidence that the song was known in at least five canadian provinces before 1896.this finding led to speculation that the song was composed at the time of the wolseley expedition to the northern red river valley of 1870 in manitoba. it expresses the sorrow of a local man or woman (possibly a métis, meaning of french and aboriginal origin) as her soldier/lover prepares to return to ontario or as his girlfriend or wife can't take the harsh life in texas and leaves him to return to canada..
red river valley 红河谷英文歌词：
from this valley they say you are going.
we will miss your bright eyes and sweet smile.
for they say you are taking the sunshine.
that has brightened our path for a while.
come and sit by my side if you love me.
do not hasten to bid me adieu(注：goodbye).
but remember the red river valley.
and the cowboy who loved you so true.
won't you think of the valley you're leaving.
oh how lonely, how sad it will be?
oh think of the fond heart you're breaking.
and the grief you are causing to me.
as you go to your home by the ocean.
may you never forget those sweet hours.
that we spent in the red river valley.
and the love we exchanged mid the flowers.
红河谷中文歌词
范继淹译配
人们说 你就要离开村庄
我们将怀念你的微笑
你的眼睛比太阳更明亮
照耀在我们的心上
走过来坐在我的身旁
不要离别的这样匆忙
要记住红河谷你的
