Jamaica Farewell

(2011-10-12 11:06:33) 下一个


Song: Jamaica Farewell
Artist: The Brothers Four

Down the way where the nights are gay
And the sun shines daily on the mountain top
I took a trip on a sailing ship
And when I reach Jamaica I made a stop

But I'm sad to say, I'm on my way
Won't be back for many a day
My heart is down, my head is turning around
I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town



Sounds of laughter everywhere
And the dancing girls swaying to and fro
I must declare, my heart is there
Tho' I've been from Maine to Mexico

But I'm sad to say, I'm on my way
Won't be back for many a day
My heart is down, my head is turning around
I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town

我对唱歌以及伴奏所知甚少,我帮你去YouTube上找到了Jamaica Farewell的Karaoke视频版本和mp3的音频版本,连接如下:

还没搞好----弹唱看来很简单, 但一直不好听---这是清唱的---

这么快就写好了,你自己会弹会唱,不妨一试。顺祝周末快乐。

写到这里基本可以中文唱了--谁来试试-音乐还真能心脏保健呀?

当这月夜微微暖风吹
岸边太阳再慢慢升起过群山
我上船航行过海湾
来到了牙买加我下了船

但我真后悔, 不能归
多少日子不能回
我心悲伤, 我回头望
我心上的人儿在故乡

这里欢笑无忧愁
还有美丽女郎跳舞在左右
我想把心儿留在这
虽然我曾经到过上海和广州

但我真后悔, 不能归
多少日子不能回
我心悲伤, 我回头望
我心上的人儿在故乡

来到赶集的街头
姑娘们头顶货物到处走
我的咸鱼最新鲜
这个五加皮胜过茅台酒

译的真好,颇有意境。

读到你写的“真正轻松--可用来降血压--”,我想了以前收藏的一篇关于音乐对心脏保健的文章,我刚刚重帖了,和你分享:

林贝卡 回复 悄悄话 The Brothers Four
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Brothers Four are an American folk singing group, founded in 1957 in Seattle, Washington, known for their 1960 hit song "Greenfields".Bob Flick, John Paine, Mike Kirkland, and Dick Foley met at the University of Washington, where they were members of the Phi Gamma Delta fraternity in 1956 (hence the "Brothers" appellation). Their first professional performances were the result of a prank played on them in 1958 by a rival fraternity, who had arranged for someone to call them, pretend to be from Seattle's Colony Club, and invite them to come down to audition for a gig. Even though they were not expected at the club, they were allowed to sing a few songs anyway, and were subsequently hired. Flick recalls them being paid "mostly in beer." Their hit singles are "Greenfields," "The Green Leaves of Summer," "Hootenanny Saturday Night," "The John B Sails" &"Try to remember".Despite all the changes and having spent 53 years in the business, the group is still active.
