The Unquiet Grave 不安的墓茔
Penny Dreadful S02E01 插曲 "The Unquiet Grave"(不安的墓茔)
这是一首凯尔特民谣,讲述的是一个年轻男子竭力哀悼他的亡妻,不让她获得安息,据说可追溯到1400年,并于1868年被Francis James Child收录于《柴尔德民谣》(Child Ballad)中,编号78,这首民谣流传最广的曲调同英格兰民谣"Dives and Lazarus"(财主与拉撒路)与爱尔兰酒吧最流行的歌"Star of the County Down"(唐郡之星)一样。
剧中唱的是这首民谣的后半部分,在第二季中唱过两次,第一次是S02E01由Helen McCrory清唱,第二次是S02E10由Sarah Greene清唱。
"The Unquiet Grave"
My breast is cold as clay.
My breath comes earthy strong.
And if you kiss my cold clay lips,
Your days they won't be long.
How oft on yonder grave, sweetheart.
Where we were want to walk,
The fairest flower that ever I saw
Has withered to a stalk,
When will we meet again, sweetheart?
When will we meet again?
When the autumn leaves that fall from the trees
Are green and spring up again.
