<P>这首歌的背景设置在1845年开始的爱尔兰大饥荒中，一名来自高威郡的Athenry镇， 叫做Michael的男子，由于为他饥饿的家人偷窃食物而被抓获。他遭到流放，被发配去了远在地球另一端的澳大利亚。 <BR>歌曲主要描绘了Michael的妻子Mary，在港口目送押解丈夫的船远去的情景。从此天各一方，再不能见面。 <BR><BR>歌中反复吟唱的几句大意如下： <BR><BR>低平的Athenry大地上 <BR>只有自由的小鸟在飞翔 <BR>我们的爱随着它们的翅膀 <BR>我们的梦想与歌声无法阻挡 <BR>在Athenry的旷野里孤寂的回荡 <BR><BR>附录1：英文歌词 <BR><BR>The Fields of Athenry <BR>Pete St. John <BR><BR>By a lonely prison wall <BR>I heard a young girl calling <BR>Micheal they are taking you away <BR>For you stole Trevelyn's corn <BR>So the young might see the morn. <BR>Now a prison ship lies waiting in the bay. <BR><BR>Low lie the Fields of Athenry <BR>Where once we watched the small free birds fly. <BR>Our love was on the wing we had dreams and songs to sing <BR>It's so lonely 'round the Fields of Athenry. <BR><BR>By a lonely prison wall <BR>I heard a young man calling <BR>Nothing matter Mary when your free, <BR>Against the Famine and the Crown <BR>I rebelled they ran me down <BR>Now you must raise our child with dignity. <BR><BR>Low lie the Fields of Athenry <BR>Where once we watched the small free birds fly. <BR>Our love was on the wing we had dreams and songs to sing <BR>It's so lonely 'round the Fields of Athenry. <BR><BR>By a lonely harbor wall <BR>She watched the last star falling <BR>As that prison ship sailed out against the sky <BR>Sure she'll wait and hope and pray <BR>For her love in Botany Bay <BR>It's so lonely 'round the Fields of Athenry. <BR><BR>Low lie the Fields of Athenry <BR>Where once we watched the small free birds fly. <BR>Our love was on the wing we had dreams and songs to sing <BR>It's so lonely 'round the Fields of Athenry. <BR></P>
