Red River Valley

Song: Red River Valley
Artist: Slim Whitman Wilf Carter

From this valley they say you are going
We will miss your bright eyes and sweet smile
For they say you are taking the sunshine
That has brightened our pathways awhile

Won't you think of this valley you're leavin'
And how lonely and sad it will be
And think of the heart that you are breakin'
And the grief that you are causing me

As you go to your home by the ocean
May you never forget those sweet hours
That we spent in the Red River Valley
And the love we exchanged mid the flowers

Come and sit by my side, if you love me
Do not hasten to bid me adieu
Just remember the Red River Valley
And the boy that has loved you so true

Rebecca Lin 2007 Autumn In USA

美好的送别歌声回荡在山谷,离别人不禁住步山顶,回望那谷里的温情...--科夫 评论于:2007-11-16 12:53:39

林贝卡 回复 悄悄话 Red River Valley (红河谷)是网友IwannaKnow在《美语世界》论坛贴的英语歌曲, 他还贴了中文版的《雅拉玛》。他说这首歌曲是志愿到西班牙反抗法西斯的国际纵队英美士兵,利用加拿大民歌《红河谷》的曲调编的一首小调,这些国际主义战士经历了惨烈的雅拉玛战役,很多人壮烈牺牲。不久,部分士兵从西班牙辗转来到中国,支援中国人民的抗战,于是,从那时起,《雅拉玛》就在华夏大地流传开来,成为小学音乐课堂上的保留曲目,经久不衰。

读了网友IwannaKnow的《雅拉玛》,让我想起了海明威的作品:For Whom the Bell Tolls .我喜欢海明威的简洁明了的写作风格。大学时读过他写的一篇小小说:A Clean, Well-Lighted Place,印象非常地深刻。 文章描写一位孤独的老人,在咖啡馆喝酒。咖啡馆要打佯了,老人也不舍离去。因为他不愿意回家,他无法忍受那孤零零的家。--林贝卡 评论于:2007-11-17 07:21:01
