Bid Adieu to Girlish Days
Original Music: James Joyce
Arr: Edmund Pendleton
Text: James Joyce
Bid adieu, adieu, adieu,
Bid adieu to girlish days,
Happy Love is come to woo
Thee and woo thy girlish ways —
The zone that doth become thee fair,
The snood upon thy yellow hair.
When thou hast heard his name upon
The bugles of the cherubim
Begin thou softly to unzone
Thy girlish bosom unto him
And softly to undo the snood
That is the sign of maidenhood.
Ann Murray, sop
Kevin McDermott
Nan Merriman, sop
Dénes Dosztán, violin
Klára Bábel, harp
Note 1:
Bid adieu to girlish days (혹은 Maidenhood),
율리시스 (Ulysses)의 저자 James Joyce의 유일한
곡으로 알려진다.
Note 2:
Scottish snood
"softly to undo the snood
that is the sign of maidenhood"
"snood"는 스코트랜드나 북영국 지방의 여성들이 착용하던
일종의 헤어밴드로 당시의 문화에서는 순결의 상징으로 이해되었다.
