春日午后，把自己仍在床上：Sara-Bob dylan

Posted on : 08-04-2010 | By : 库克船长 | In : 每天一首英文经典

这首《Sara》收录在Bob Dylan1976的专辑《Desire》，是首为了挽留妻子Sara而创作的，1975年时Bob与The Band的合作越来越频繁，演出越来越多，引起妻子Sara的不满，两个人的感情也出现了危机，他想用这首歌来让妻子回心转意（当然他做的还不止这个），歌曲的旋律缠绵、浪漫就不必说了，我第一次听时，听到曲子的前奏就有种窒息、心痛的感觉，像似有人用手在心头揪了一下！歌词中，他句句都在回忆，句句都在挽留，句句都充满他对妻子的依恋，也许作为一个像Bob这样的天才的妻子，Sara能跟他相处13年已经不是件容易的事，但是Bob肯定没想到他们的婚姻只持续了13年（在别人眼里或许时间不短了）。 当我看Bob在1976年有妻子参加的现场演唱这首歌时，竟有点不忍心看下去，不忍心看他眨也不眨一下的眼睛。他很少在现场演唱这首歌，连他的乐队成员也是在1976年的演出时才听到这首歌，他每次在公众唱这首歌时，就好似把自己的伤口赤裸裸的展现在听众面前，有点残忍。

I laid on a dune, I looked at the sky,
我躺在沙地上仰望天空，回忆如水
When the children were babies and played on the beach.
当孩子们还小的时候在沙滩玩耍
You came up behind me, I saw you go by,
我看到你轻轻地走来，依偎在我身旁
You were always so close and still within reach.
你离得那么近，我一伸手就能把你紧抱
Sara, sara,
莎拉，莎拉
Whatever made you want to change your mind?
是什么让你改变
Sara, sara,
莎拉，莎拉
So easy to look at, so hard to define.
答案呼之欲出，却又难以名言
I can still see them playin with their pails in the sand,
我仍可清晰描绘孩子们提着筒在沙滩玩耍的情形
They run to the water their buckets to fill.
他们冲向沙滩筒里盈满海水
I can still see the shells fallin out of their hands
贝壳在他们的指间滑落
As they follow each other back up the hill.
孩子们一个一个紧挨着在沙丘玩耍
Sara, sara,
莎拉，莎拉
Sweet virgin angel, sweet love of my life,
你是我无暇的天使，是我生命中的挚爱
Sara, sara,
莎拉，莎拉
Radiant jewel, mystical wife.
你是最闪亮的宝石，我神秘的小妻子
Sleepin in the woods by a fire in the night,
夜幕降临我们烤着火躺在地上
Drinkin white rum in a portugal bar,
在葡萄牙的小酒吧里喝着朗姆酒
Them playin leapfrog and hearin about snow white,
人们玩着游戏间或听闻白雪公主的故事
You in the marketplace in savanna-la-mar.
你在滨海萨凡纳的集市
Sara, sara,
莎拉，莎拉
Its all so clear, I could never forget,
回忆如此清晰, 此生难忘
Sara, sara
莎拉，莎拉
Lovin you is the one thing Ill never regret.
爱你，不悔
I can still hear the sounds of those methodist bells,
教堂的钟声声声入耳
Id taken the cure and had just gotten through,
生病时你的陪伴，使我坚强
Stayin up for days in the chelsea hotel,
切尔西旅馆的那些不眠之夜
Writin sad-eyed lady of the lowlands for you.
和为你而创作的专辑
Sara, sara,
莎拉，莎拉
Wherever we travel were never apart.
我们从不分开旅行
Sara, oh sara,
莎拉，噢, 莎拉
Beautiful lady, so dear to my heart.
美丽的女人, 我的挚爱
How did I meet you? I dont know.
我不清楚，我们是如何相遇于茫茫人海
A messenger sent me in a tropical storm.
但是我清楚，那时我便对你一见倾心
You were there in the winter, moonlight on the snow
你是冬天里一抹圣洁的月光
And on lily pond lane when the weather was warm.
你是夏日里一池清馨的睡莲
Sara, oh sara,
莎拉，噢, 莎拉
Scorpio sphinx in a calico dress,
你是人间的斯芬克斯
Sara, sara,
莎拉，莎拉
You must forgive me my unworthiness.
请你原谅我的无知与浅薄
Now the beach is deserted except for some kelp
现在的沙滩已经被人们遗忘
And a piece of an old ship that lies on the shore.
只有那一艘旧船停靠
You always responded when I needed your help,
迷茫时你总给予我支持
You gimme a map and a key to your door.
你指引我走向你的天堂
Sara, oh sara,
莎拉, 噢, 莎拉
Glamorous nymph with an arrow and bow
你是带着弓和箭的仙女,
Sara, oh sara,
莎拉, 噢, 莎拉
Dont ever leave me, dont ever go.
请你不要轻言别离, 永远, 永远…..

让距离消失，永不离去：Never Gone-Backstreet Boys

Posted on : 31-03-2010 | By : 库克船长 | In : 每天一首英文经典

我觉得后街的歌基本上不是属于耐听的、而是属于传唱度比较高的、因为歌词都较简单，旋律朗朗上口，轻快。
标准的后街式慢版情歌，抒情、感人，易传唱。
并用这首歌告诉我们：never gone

howie spoken – i really miss you…there is something that i gotta say..

brian – the things we did the things we said
keep coming back to me and make me smile again
you showed me how to face the truth
everything thats good in me i owe it to you..

howie – though the distance thats between us now may seem to be too far
it will never seperate us deep inside i know you are..

(chours)never gone never far (nick -)in my heart is where you are.
always close everyday (nick -)ever step along the way
even if we never got to say goodbye
i know you will be forever in my life “never gone”..

brian – i walk along these empty streets
there is not a second your not here with me
the love you gave the praise you showed
you’ll always give me strength and be my scrawling stone

nick – somehow you found a way to see the best i have in me
as far as time goes on i swear to you that you will be..

(chours)never gone never far (alex -)in my heart is where you are.
always close everyday (alex -)every step along the way
even if we never got to say goodbye
i know that you will forever (alex -)be in my life

brian – never gone come find me..there is one thing i believe..i believe
alex – i will see you somewhere down the road again
(chours+alex)never gone never far in my heart is where you are.

always close everyday every step along the way
even if we never got to say goodbye
i know that you will forever be in my life
(repeate chourse)

brian – never gone never far in my heart is where you are..

钢琴小号，孤独的声音：Move on now-Hard-fi

Posted on : 19-03-2010 | By : 库克船长 | In : 每天一首英文经典

Hard-Fi是来自英国的摇滚乐队，说实话除了这首歌他们其它的歌曲我都不喜欢，很燥，唯独这首，钢琴 小号，孤独的声音。
一种孤独的滋味在蔓延 我想我进入了一种状态，无法自拔，是忧伤也好，是孤独也罢，只是一个人静静的体验直到腐烂。

Baby, Baby i think its time we move on now

Baby, Baby i think its time we move on now

Looking out my bedroom window

See the planes take off from Heathrow

one by one they come and go

on and on on and on

I think about the places i’d go

I think about this place i call home

All the shots and all that come

all around all around

Red light blinking in the twighlight

tracing in a path right out of here and now

Red light blinking in the twighlight

tracing in a path right out of here and now

Baby, Baby i think its time we move on now

Baby, Baby i think its time we move on now

Don’t you think its quiet around here

Doesn’t seem so much to do here

Thinking back to this time last year

Good times good times good times

Don’t you think we stay for too long

Don’t you think the colour has gone

Get on a plane it can’t be wrong

Moving on, Moving on

Red light blinking in the twighlight

tracing in a path right out of here and now

Red light blinking in the twighlight

tracing in a path right out of here and now

Baby, Baby i think its time we move on now

Baby, Baby i think its time we move on now

Baby, Baby i think its time we move on now

Baby, Baby i think its time we move on now

Baby, Baby

Baby, Baby

Baby, Baby i think its time we move on now

Those things they look empty

But wait til it all comes down

Nothings going on round here

Its time we let it change

Got a feeling my love

We’ve gotta get out

Before it brings us down (down down)

周末的慵懒：The weary kind-Ryan Bingham

还记得高中时代看过的那部电影——《狂野的心》吗？这便是这部电影的主题曲。Ryan粗哑，绝对男人的声音，演绎着那一份深情，安静的周末，请来听一听。

Your heart’s on the loose
You rolled them seven’s with nothing lose
And this ain’t no place for the weary kind
You called all your shots
Shooting 8 ball at the corner truck stop
Somehow this don’t feel like home anymore
And this ain’t no place for the weary kind
And this ain’t no place to lose your mind
And this ain’t no place to fall behind
Pick up your crazy heart and give it one more try
Your body aches…
Playing your guitar and sweating out the hate
The days and the nights all feel the same
Whiskey has been a thorn in your side
and it doesn’t forget
the highway that calls for your heart inside
And this ain’t no place for the weary kind
And this ain’t no place to lose your mind
And this ain’t no place to fall behind
Pick up your crazy heart and give it one more try
Your lovers won’t kiss…
It’s too damn far from your fingertips
You are the man that ruined her world
Your heart’s on the loose
You rolled them seven’s with nothing lose
And this ain’t no place for the weary kind

You walk in a grace of light
I know in my heart You’re still with me.You’re still alive
So you say your last goodbye
And leave the world behind
and pray,you never let them down
The angels start to cry
for you

一切尽在不言中：When you say nothing at all-Ronan Keating

从12岁时就开始写歌，和好友组过团，叫NAMESTE。曾经加入学校的合唱团， 但被踢出来，因为合唱团的老师说他，不会唱歌。虽然是老么，3个哥哥一个姐姐，但他做个各式各样的工作。在鞋店打过工，进入BOYZONE时还在学校念书，刚成立时与团员晚上在校园和青少年常去的俱乐部表演， 每天作二到三场的演出，但是在空闲时，还帮父亲修卡车，帮忙母亲的美发沙龙！一直的梦想是成为像TAKE THAT那么红的团员， 直到成为BZ一员，成为主唱，他才真正找到自己心目中的理想事业。

it’s amazing how you can speak right to my heart
without saying a word you can light up the dark
try as i may i can never explain
what i hear when you don’t say a thing
the smile on your face lets me know that you need me
there’s a truth in your eyes saying you’ll never leave me
the touch of your hand says you’ll catch me wherever i fall
you say it best, when you say nothing at all
all day long i can hear people talking out loud
but when you hold me near, you drown out the crowd
try as they may they can never define
what’s been said between your heart and mine
the smile on your face lets me know that you need me
there’s a truth in your eyes saying you’ll never leave me
the touch of your hand says you’ll catch me wherever i fall
you say it best, when you say nothing at all
the smile on your face lets me know that you need me
there’s a truth in your eyes saying you’ll never leave me
the touch of your hand says you’ll catch me wherever i fall
you say it best, when you say nothing at all
(you say it best when you say nothing at all)
(you say it best when you say nothing at all)
the smile on your face(you say it best…)
the truth in your eyes(when you say nothing at all.)
the touch of your hand(you say it best…)
lets me know that you need me(when you say nothing at all.)
(you say it best when you say nothing at all)
(you say it best when you say nothing at all)
(you say it best when you say nothing at all)

Such a beautiful girl-Juliana Hatfield

Posted on : 03-03-2010 | By : 库克船长 | In : 每天一首英文经典

0

非常喜欢这样娓娓道来的旋律。至爱这种钩魂诱人的节奏；美丽的女孩，丑陋的世界，很鲜明的对比。歌声中充斥着太多无奈，Juliana Hatfield是位国人比较陌生的歌手，从90年代开始发行专辑，作品蛮多，低调、安静，喜欢用自己的声音诠释种种心境，幽静旋律，给我的感觉就是白壁无暇，一尘不染。

She writes songs at night after everyone has turned out the lights
Though she’s still young she’s had a hard life
But she’s not giving up believing in fate
And it makes a person strong being alone for so long
The family home it’s like living in a war zone
Holes are punched in walls but no one seems to care at all
She’s such a beautiful girl and she lives in an ugly world
She’s such a beautiful girl and she lives in an ugly world
They wanna knock that smile off her face
So she shuts her door and she writes and dreams
it’s her favorite escape
And she knows it can only get better so with patience she waits
No one ever had her back they only laugh
when she cries but in god’s eyes
She’s such a beautiful girl and she lives in an ugly world
And she’s such a beautiful girl and she lives in an ugly world
They wanna knock that smile off her face
So she shuts her door and she writes and dreams
it’s her favorite escape
And she knows it can only get better and with patience she waits
She’s such a beautiful girl but she lives in an ugly world
She’s such a beautiful girl but she lives in an ugly world
Beautiful beautiful beautiful
They wanna knock that smile off her face
So she shuts her door and she writes and dreams
it’s her favorite escape
Over…

激情甜蜜燃烧：Burning-Maria Arredondo

一首相当好听的英文女声歌曲，有一种令人如痴如醉的浪漫气氛，更带着些许哀伤之感。

passion is sweet
love makes weak
you said you cherished freedom so
you refuse to let it go
follow your fate
love and hate
never fail to seize the day
but dont give yourself away .
oh when the night falls
and your all alone
in your deepest sleep what
are you dreaming of
my skin’s still burning from your touch
oh i just can’t get enough i
said i wouldn’t ask for much
but your eyes are dangerous
oh the thought keep spinning in my head
can we drop this masquerade
i can’t predict where it ends
if your the rock i’ll crush against
trapped in a crowd
the music is loud
i said i love my freedom to
now i’m not sure i do
all eyes on you
rings so true
better quit while you’re ahead
now i’m not so sure i am
oh when the night falls
and your all alone
in your deepest sleep what
are you dreaming of
my skin’s still burning from your touch
oh i just can’t get enough i
said i wouldn’t ask for much
but your eyes are dangerous
oh the thought keep spinning in my head
can we drop this masquerade
i can’t predict where it ends
if your the rock i’ll crush against
my soul my heart
if you’re near if you’re far
my life my love
you can have it all….ooohaaaah.
oh when the night falls
and your all alone
in your deepest sleep what
are you dreaming of
my skin’s still burning from your touch
oh i just can’t get enough i
said i wouldn’t ask for much
but your eyes are dangerous
oh the thought keep spinning in my head
can we drop this masquerade
i can’t predict where it ends
if your the rock i’ll crush against

消失之间：I will come to you-Hanson

这首歌是大众汽车的广告歌，Hanson有点孩子气的声音，伴着你在蜿蜒广阔的公路奔驰。是不是你也找到了逝去的童年时光，那种无忧无虑的充满力量与期望的时光。我将回到你身旁，带着想飞的心回到你身旁。

I Will Come To You
When you have no light to guide you
And no one to walk to walk beside you
I will come to you
Oh I will come to you
When the night is dark and stormy
You won’t have to reach out for me
I will come to you
Oh I will come to you
Sometimes when all your dreams may have seen bad days
And you don’t know how or why, but you’ve lost your way
Have no fear when your tears are fallin’
I will hear your spirit callin’
And I swear I’ll be there come what may
(Repeat Chorus)
‘Cause even if we can’t be together
We’ll be friends now and forever
And I swear that I’ll be there come what may
When the night is dark and stormy
You won’t have to reach out for me
I will come to you
Oh I will come to you
We all need somebody we can turn to
Someone who’ll always understand
So if you feel that your soul is dyin’
And you need the strength to keep tryin’
I’ll reach out and take your hand

重新呼吸：Breathe Again-Toni Braxton

记得年少的时候，曾有过大大小小的梦想。做医生、当老师、成为能随时拎起背包踏遍山河的旅行者……只是当自己走在校园静谧的林荫小道上，看树外的阳光透过片片枝叶在脚边留下斑驳的树影，内心便瞬时溢满小小的温暖和幸福感。
那时便会慢慢懂得，或许梦想不需要有多么伟大，只希望我们的内心能够时时温润而美好。对着每一次努力后的收获微笑颔首，便能拥有更坚定的力量开启下一段的旅程。我们都会经历低谷和灰暗的时候，每次我都会对自己说：要坚强，因为风雨的洗礼只是为了让雨后的彩虹更绚丽美好。

if i never feel you in my arms again
if i never feel your tender kiss again
if i never hear i love you now and then
will i never make love to you once again
please understand if love ends
then i promise you, i promise you
that, that i shall never breathe again
breathe again
breathe again
that i shall never breathe again
breathe again
and i can’t stop thinkin’ about
about the way things used to be
and i can’t stop thinkin’ about
about the love that you make to me
and i can’t get you outta my head
how in the world will i begin
to let you walk right out my life
and blow my heart away
and i can’t stop carin’ about
about the apple of my eye
and i can’t stop doin’ without
without the center of my life
and i can’t get you outta my head
and i know i can’t pretend
that i won’t die if you decide
you won’t see me again
if i never feel you in my arms again
if i never feel your tender kiss again
if i never hear i love you now and then
will i never make love to you once again
please understand if love ends
then i promise you, i promise you
that, that i shall never breathe again
breathe again
breathe again
that i shall never breathe again
breathe again
and i can’t stop thinkin’ about
about the way my life would be
no i can’t stop thinkin’ about
how could your love be leavin’ me
and i can’t get you outta my mind
god knows how hard i tried
and if you walk right out my life
god knows i’d surely die
and i can’t stop doin’ without
without the rythm of my heart
no i can’t stop doin’ without
for i would surely fall apart
and i can’t get you outta my mind
cause i know i can’t deny it
and i would die if you decide
you won’t see me again
if i never feel you in my arms again
if i never feel your tender kiss again
if i never hear i love you now and then
will i never make love to you once again
please understand if love ends
then i promise you, i promise you
that, that i shall never breathe again
