Llangollen Market is a song from early 19th century Wales. The song tells the tale of a young man from the Llangollen area going off to war and leaving behind his broken-hearted girlfriend. Originally written in English, the song has been translated into Welsh and recorded by several artists such as Siân James, Siobhan Owen, Calennig and Siwsann George. ==Lyrics== :It’s far beyond the mountains that look so distant here, :To fight his country’s battles, last Mayday went my dear; :Ah, well shall I remember with bitter sighs the day, :Why, Owen, did you leave me? At home why did I stay? :Ah, cruel was my father that did my flight restrain, :And I was cruel-hearted that did at home remain, :With you, my love, contented, I’d journey far away; :Why, Owen, did you leave me? At home why did I stay? :While thinking of my Owen, my eyes with tears do fill, :And then my mother chides me because my wheel stands still, :But how can I think of spinning when my Owen’s far away; :Why, Owen, did you leave me? At home why did I stay? :To market at Llangollen each morning do I go, :But how to strike a bargain no longer do I know; :My father chides at evening, my mother all the day; :Why, Owen, did you leave me, at home why did I stay? :Oh, would it please kind heaven to shield my love from harm, :To clasp him to my bosom would every care disarm, :But alas, I fear, 'tis distant - that happy, happy day; :Why, Owen, did you leave me, at home why did stay? 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Llangollen Market」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
