500 miles - Peter, Paul and Mary [Original Audio] 7,322,321 views
我相信音乐是上帝赐与人类的礼物,是不分国界,语言和时空的。而音乐却又如此之神奇,微妙,不经意中,你的心灵就会被深深触动, 仿佛这段乐曲或歌词正在对你娓娓道来一个久远的,属于你自己的故事。这大概也是我每每听到美国六七十年代盛行的民谣 《500 miles -离家五百哩》,不由地就会砰然心动,尤其当听到“Not a shirt on my back,Not a penny to my name。。Lord, I'm 500 miles away from home 。”这几句歌词时, 常是潸然泪下,不由地沉浸于我十六岁离家去乡下插队的往事中。。
今晚,刚在“东云子” 的博客里又欣赏到“Peter, Paul & Mary”的“500 miles”,( 谢谢你~东云子),就想起把过去写的一篇短文发上来,谢谢阅读,也请欣赏几个版本的“500 miles”,希望您也喜欢. Also wish you a day full of beautiful music and songs.
If you miss the train I'm on,
You will know that I am gone,
You can hear the whistle blow, a hundred miles.
A hundred miles, a hundred miles,
A hundred miles, a hundred miles.
You can hear the whistle blow, a hundred miles.
Lord, I'm one, Lord I'm two
Lord, I'm three, Lord I'm four,
Lord, I'm five hundred miles away from home.
Not a shirt on my back,
Not a penny to my name,
Lord, I can't go back home this away.
This away, this away, this away, this away.
Lord, I can't go back home, this away.
If you miss the train I'm on, you will know that I am gone,
You can hear the whistle blow, a hundred miles.
A hundred miles, a hundred miles,
A hundred miles, a hundred miles.
You can hear the whistle blow, a hundred miles.
