英文老歌: Monday Morning - Peter Paul and Mary

(2014-12-18 12:35:34) 下一个


Peter、Paul 和 Mary 是美国最有影响的三人乡村民歌组合,一起演唱的历史五十余载。直到 Mary 2009年去世,Peter 和 Paul 改为二人组合继续合作。

Peter、Paul 和 Mary 的歌浅吟地唱,如泣如诉,吐字清晰,悠缓绵长。像在草地上与你促膝谈心,像在病床前为你疗伤,又像在壁炉旁给你讲一个久远的故事。

1962年他们的第一只歌《Lemon Tree》就成为经典。

1963年他们又唱了《Puff the Magic Dragon》和《Blowin' in the Wind》,又皆是传世之作。

1966年John Denver写出《Leaving on A Jet Plane》,由Peter、Paul 和 Mary 演唱的这首歌是公认影响最大的版本。(下载:cdn.wenxuecity.com/upload/media/22/8f/e3/mUTCxwLK4007.mp3

1970年三人曾散伙,主要原因是Peter因性侵犯一位十四岁的少女而被捕入狱。后来被卡特总统特赦(美国总统有个特权,即在卸任时可以任意特赦一批自己想释放的罪犯)。随后三人又重新组合。

               《Monday Morning》

Early one mornin' one mornin' in spring
To hear the birds whistle the nightingales sing
I met a fair maiden who sweetly did sing
I'm going to be married next Monday morning.

How old are you my fair young maid,
Here in this valley this valley so green
How old are you my fair young maid,
I'm goin' to be sixteen next Monday mornin'.

Well sixteen years old, that's too young for to marry
So take my advice, five years longer to tarry
For marriage brings troubles and sorrows begin
So put off your wedding for Monday mornin'.

You talk like a mad man, a man with no skill
Two years i've been waiting against my own will
Now i'm determined to have my own way
And i'm going to be married next Monday mornin'

And next Monday mornin' the bells they will ring
And my true love will buy me a gay gold ring
Also he'll buy me a new pretty gown
To wear at my wedding next Monday mornin'

Next Monday night when i go to my bed
And i turn round to the man that i've wed
Around his middle my two arms i will fling,
And i wish to my soul it was Monday mornin'.

夕阳影里一归舟 回复 悄悄话 "像在草地上与你促膝谈心,像在病床前为你疗伤,又像在壁炉旁给你讲一个久远的故事。" 说得太好了!
金水桥01 回复 悄悄话 多谢分享。 很喜欢。
fengdaming 回复 悄悄话 我还是最喜欢Monday Morning。谢谢分享。
老煤OldMike 回复 悄悄话 他们的实在太好听,我小时在香港常听,现在也是,还有Bee Gees,Micheal Jackson小时候唱的老歌Neil Diamond,Simon & Garfukel, The Eagles,The animals,Tom Jones,等等,百听不厌,小时候听的白光,吴莺音,等等唱的老歌现在也会,也喜欢听, 但七四年到美国后,不听中文歌了,所以断了层,
