''A Pretty Girl Milking Her Cow'' (''Cailin Deas Crúite na mBó'' in the Irish language) is a traditional 18th-century Irish ballad. The English version is attributed to Thomas Moore (1779–1852). Originally sung in Irish Gaelic, the song was popular through the early 20th century. It enjoyed a revival when an updated swing version sung by Irish-American singer/actress Judy Garland was featured in the 1940 film Little Nellie Kelly. The updated version is true to the original musical air, and incorporated original lyrics by MGM Musical Director Roger Edens, and featured Garland singing the song to George Murphy using some of the original Gaelic lyrics in the first chorus, which was true to the traditional air, before moving into an up-tempo swing version typical of the era. The song was released as the B-side of the more popular Garland song It's A Great Day for the Irish by Decca Records in 1940. It became a popular song for Irish-Americans during St Patrick's Day celebrations. It remained a popular number for Garland throughout her career,〔 and most notably she sang it live in its original Irish language version in July 1951 at her Theatre Royal concerts in Dublin, Ireland. A Dublin review stated: "Remember the song she sang in "Nellie Kelly" - "The Pretty Girl Milking Her Cow." Judy is providing herself with the Irish version - "Cailin Deas Cruidte na mBo" while in Ireland". Later in 1951, she included the song in her first record-breaking appearance at New York's Palace Theatre, although this time reverting to the new version that combined both English- and Irish-language lyrics. The song is also featured on ''"Garland at the Grove"'' on Capitol Records, recorded live in 1958 at the Coconut Grove in Hollywood. Singers and groups including Bing Crosby, Ruby Murray, Eileen Barton, Carmel Quinn, Clannad, The Fureys, Blackthorn Ceilidh Band, Runa and The Chieftains, among others, have recorded the song in either form or a combination of both. Duck Baker recorded a fingerstyle guitar arrangement. This song was cover-versioned by Japanese singer Suzuki Tsunekichi (Japanese: 鈴木常吉) in the title of "Memories" (Japanese: 思ひで), which was adapted as the opening theme song of Japanese TV drama "Shinya Shokudō"(Japanese: 深夜食堂). ==Lyrics== :Tá blian nó níos mó 'gam ag éisteacht :Le cogar doilíosach mo mheoin, :Ó casadh liom grá geal mo chléibhe :Tráthnóna brea gréine san fhómhar. :Bhí an bhó bhainne chumhra ag géimneach :Is na h-éanlaith go meidhreach ag ceol, :Is ar bhruach an tsruthán ar leathaobh dhom :Bhí cailín deas crúite na mbó. :Tá a súile mar lonradh na gréine, :Ag scaipeadh trí spéartha gan cheo, :'s is deirge a grua ná na caora :Ar lasadh measc craobha na gcnó, :Tá a béilin níos mílse na sméara, :'s is gile ná leamhnacht a snó, :Níl ógbhean níos deise san saol seo :Ná cailín deas crúite na mbó. :Dá bhfaighinnse árd Tiarnas na hÉireann :Éadacha, síoda is sróil :Dá bhfaighinnse an bhanríon is airde :Dá bhfuil ar an dtalamh so beo :Dá bhfaighinnse céad loingis mar spré dhom :Píoláidi, caisleáin is ór :Bfhearr liom bheith fán ar na sléibhte :Lem chailín deas crúite na mbó 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「A Pretty Girl Milking Her Cow」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
