有沒有旋律好聽並且歌詞也有意義的英文歌？

Cara Dillon的Craigie Hill
一首愛爾蘭民謠
至此一曲驚為天籟
這首曲子或許沒有那麼深刻的意義，內容也只是詞人用戀人之間的惜別來側寫對故土的熱愛，但就此曲的旋律與歌手的聲音也值得題主一聽了。

歌詞用的愛爾蘭語
It being in the springtime and the small birds they were singing,
Down by yon shady harbour I carelessly did stray,
The the thrushes they were warbling,
The violets they were charming
To view fond lovers talking, a while I did delay.
She said, my dear dont leave me all for another season,
Though fortune does be pleasing I ll go along with you,
I ll forsake friends and relations and bid this Irish nation,
And to the bonny Bann banks forever I ll bid adieu.

He said, my dear dont grieve or yet annoy my patience,
You know I love you dearly the more Im going away,
Im going to a foreign nation to purchase a plantation,
To comfort us hereafter all in America.
Then after a short while a fortune does be pleasing,
Twill cause them for smile at our late going away,
Well be happy as Queen Victoria, all in her greatest glory,
Well be drinking wine and porter all in America .
If you were in your bed lying and thinking on dying,
The sight of the lovely Bann banks, your sorrow youd give oer,

Or if were down one hour, down in yon shady bower,
Pleasure would surround you, youd think on death no more.
Then fare you well, sweet Cragie Hills, where often times Ive roved,
I never thought my childhood days I d part you any more,
Now were sailing on the ocean for honour and promotion,
And the bonny boats are sailing, way down by Doorin shore.
那是在春天的時節，小鳥兒們在歌唱
沿著遠處婆娑的海港，我不經意間竟迷失了方向
畫眉鳥柔和的唱著歌，還有那嬌媚的紫羅蘭競相開放
看著多情的戀人們低語，我停下了腳步

她說，親愛的請不要在任何季節離我而去
雖然命運將我們捉弄，我還要與你在一起
我會放棄親友放棄愛爾蘭民族的祝願
我對神發誓，我永遠都不會說再見
他說，親愛的請不要悲傷,否則會困擾我的耐心
你要知道即使離開，我只會更強烈地愛你
我要去一個遙遠的國度，去尋覓一片土地
來撫平災難給我們帶來的所有創傷
不久以後當一切都已經平息
我將讓所有人都因我們這次離別而幸福

我們將像維多利亞女皇一樣快樂，有著她最偉大的榮耀
我們要在這廢墟上品嘗美酒佳肴
如果你躺在床上正思考著死亡
愛之神的目光，將你的憂傷帶到我身旁
或許瞬間就會降臨，降臨在那幽暗的涼亭
快樂將圍繞著你，你將不會再想到死亡
所以永別了吧，我可愛的克雷吉山巒，我曾漫遊數次的地方
我以為從我孩童時期起就不會再和你分開
而如今我們卻航行在榮譽和重生的海洋里
沿著多里安海岸，美麗的船兒在航行

workingmans blues #2_bob dylan 講述了一個生活在蕭條時期的工人被剝削的生活。工人仍堅持用思想充實生活，堅持鬥爭。「對愛情的渴望，對知識的追求，對人類苦難不可遏制的同情，是支配我一生的單純而強烈的三種感情。這些感情如陣陣巨風，吹拂在我動蕩不定的生涯中，有時甚至吹過深沉痛苦的海洋，直抵絕望的邊緣。

Matt maltese的Even if its a Lie呀，好聽到爆炸
