Daily Growing-ALTAN

这一首来自爱尔兰乐队ALTAN的凯尔特歌曲，自然淳朴如出水芙蓉，天然去雕饰，忧伤在父女对话般的吟唱中仿佛已经渗入骨髓。一个女子在年轻时嫁给了一个显贵的子弟，她担心自己的年龄有一天会成为感情悲剧的主因，她埋怨父亲的错误。婚后第二年，他们有了自己的孩子，而她的夫君却也还是个孩子，在一天天的长大。她送他去上学，为他裹了蓝色的头巾，她怕别人抢走父亲为自己选定依存的真爱。命运的捉弄使她很快成了寡妇，在为爱人缝制寿衣时，她的悲哀成了整个曲子的灵魂。

Altan（埃尔顿乐队）是一支被誉为1990年代最杰出的爱尔兰传统民谣乐团，几乎已成为爱尔兰传统音乐的代名词。乐队由6名音乐家组成，分别演奏具有爱尔兰特色的小提琴、长笛、风琴等乐器，始终保持着爱尔兰音乐家传统的师徒相传的教育模式，使最具有爱尔兰风格的音乐得以保持与流传。唱片多次获得金唱片和白金唱片奖项。摇滚、蓝调、爵士乃至乡村音乐等多种不同风格的音乐在他们浓厚的爱尔兰特色演奏之下，更加具有别样的风情。埃尔顿乐队演奏的音乐不属于任何音乐分支，他们所做的是打破民族音乐、世界音乐与摇滚音乐之间的一切文化隔阂。

Cruel fate has put an end to his growing.
