A holiday, a holiday 00:18
And the first one of the year 00:20
Lord Donald's wife came into the church 00:23
The gospel for to hear 00:26
And when the meeting, it was done 00:29
She cast her eyes about 00:31
And there she saw little Matty Groves 00:34
Walking in the crowd 00:37
"Come home with me, little Matty Groves 00:39
Come home with me tonight 00:42
Come home with me, little Matty Groves 00:45
And sleep with me 'til light" 00:47
"Oh, I can't come home, I won't come home 00:50
And sleep with you tonight 00:53
By the rings on your fingers 00:55
I can tell you are Lord Donald's wife" 00:57
"But if I am Lord Donald's wife 01:00
Lord Donald's not at home 01:03
He is out in the far cornfields 01:06
Bringing the yearlings home" 01:09
01:12
And a servant who was standing by 01:21
And hearing what was said 01:25
He swore Lord Donald he would know 01:27
Before the sun would set 01:30
And in his hurry to carry the news 01:32
He bent his breast and ran 01:35
And when he came to the broad mill stream 01:38
He took off his shoes and he swam 01:41
01:45
Little Matty Groves, he lay down 01:54
And took a little sleep 01:56
When he awoke, Lord Donald 01:59
Was standing at his feet 02:02
Saying, "How do you like my feather bed 02:04
And how do you like my sheet? 02:07
How do you like my lady 02:10
Who lies in your arms asleep?" 02:12
"Oh well, I like your feather bed 02:15
And well, I like your sheets 02:17
But better I like your lady gay 02:20
Who lies in my arms asleep" 02:23
"Well, get up, get up", Lord Donald cried 02:25
"Get up as quick as you can 02:28
It'll never be said in fair England 02:30
I slew a naked man" 02:33
"Oh, I can't get up, I won't get up 02:36
I can't get up for my life 02:39
For you have two long beaten swords 02:41
And I not a pocket knife" 02:44
"Well, it's true I have two beaten swords 02:46
And they cost me deep in the purse 02:49

And strike it like a man 03:00
I will strike the very next blow 03:03

Lord Donald struck the very next blow 03:23
And Matty struck no more 03:26

[English]

A holiday, a holiday

And the first one of the year

Lord Donald's wife came into the church

The gospel for to hear

And when the meeting, it was done

She cast her eyes about

And there she saw little Matty Groves

Walking in the crowd

"Come home with me, little Matty Groves

Come home with me tonight

Come home with me, little Matty Groves

And sleep with me 'til light"

"Oh, I can't come home, I won't come home

And sleep with you tonight

By the rings on your fingers

I can tell you are Lord Donald's wife"

"But if I am Lord Donald's wife

Lord Donald's not at home

He is out in the far cornfields

Bringing the yearlings home"

...

And a servant who was standing by

And hearing what was said

He swore Lord Donald he would know

Before the sun would set

And in his hurry to carry the news

He bent his breast and ran

And when he came to the broad mill stream

He took off his shoes and he swam

...

Little Matty Groves, he lay down

And took a little sleep

When he awoke, Lord Donald

Was standing at his feet

Saying, "How do you like my feather bed

And how do you like my sheet?

How do you like my lady

Who lies in your arms asleep?"

"Oh well, I like your feather bed

And well, I like your sheets

But better I like your lady gay

Who lies in my arms asleep"

"Well, get up, get up", Lord Donald cried

"Get up as quick as you can

It'll never be said in fair England

I slew a naked man"

"Oh, I can't get up, I won't get up

I can't get up for my life

For you have two long beaten swords

And I not a pocket knife"

"Well, it's true I have two beaten swords

And they cost me deep in the purse

But you will have the better of them

And I will have the worse"

"And you will strike the very first blow

And strike it like a man

I will strike the very next blow

And I'll kill you if I can"

...

So Matty struck the very first blow

And he hurt Lord Donald sore

Lord Donald struck the very next blow

And Matty struck no more

And then Lord Donald he took his wife

And he sat her on his knee

Saying, "Who do you like the best of us

Matty Groves or me?"

And then up spoke his own dear wife

Never heard to speak so free

"I'd rather a kiss from dead Matty's lips

Than you or your finery"

...

Lord Donald, he jumped up

And loudly he did bawl

He struck his wife right through the heart

And pinned her against the wall

"A grave, a grave", Lord Donald cried

"To put these lovers in

But bury my lady at the top

For she was of noble kin"

Ngữ pháp:

  • Lord Donald's wife came into the church The gospel for to hear

    ➔ Sử dụng cổ của 'for to' + nguyên thể.

    ➔ Cụm từ "for to hear" là một cách diễn đạt cũ và ít phổ biến hơn của "in order to hear" hoặc "to hear". Nó nhấn mạnh mục đích cô ấy đến nhà thờ.

  • "And sleep with me 'til light"

    ➔ Lược bỏ và cách sử dụng giới từ cổ ( 'til ).

    ➔ Cụm từ đầy đủ sẽ là "until light." "'Til" là một dạng rút ngắn, cổ xưa của "until." Cụm từ này cũng bỏ qua chủ ngữ và động từ khuyết thiếu, ngụ ý nói "until it is light."

  • By the rings on your fingers I can tell you are Lord Donald's wife

    ➔ Suy luận với 'can' + động từ trạng thái.

    "Can tell" diễn tả một suy luận dựa trên bằng chứng. Người nói đang sử dụng những chiếc nhẫn trên ngón tay cô ấy làm bằng chứng để suy luận rằng cô ấy là vợ của Lãnh chúa Donald. 'Can' ở đây có nghĩa là có thể đưa ra suy luận dựa trên bằng chứng.

  • "He is out in the far cornfields Bringing the yearlings home"

    ➔ Hiện tại tiếp diễn cho các tình huống tạm thời và mô tả các hoạt động đang diễn ra.

    "Bringing" là phân từ hiện tại được sử dụng để mô tả hành động mà Lãnh chúa Donald hiện đang làm. Nó ngụ ý rằng hoạt động đang diễn ra và không phải là một trạng thái vĩnh viễn.

  • "How do you like my feather bed And how do you like my sheet?"

    ➔ Cấu trúc nghi vấn với "How do you like..." để hỏi về ý kiến/trải nghiệm của ai đó.

    ➔ Cụm từ này không thực sự hỏi về chất lượng của giường và tấm trải giường. Đây là một câu hỏi tu từ, có ý khiêu khích, nghi ngờ sự thoải mái của Matty và ngụ ý một thách thức.

  • "It'll never be said in fair England I slew a naked man"

    ➔ Cấu trúc bị động tương lai ('It'll be said') và Thức giả định (mặc dù không rõ ràng, ngụ ý trong 'never be said').

    "It'll be said" là thì tương lai bị động, chỉ ra rằng hành động nói điều gì đó sẽ xảy ra trong tương lai. Thức giả định ngụ ý rằng người nói mong muốn ngăn chặn điều gì đó xảy ra. Cụm từ này có nghĩa là Lãnh chúa Donald không muốn mọi người nói rằng ông đã giết một người đàn ông không vũ trang, điều đó sẽ là ô nhục.
