两首好听的歌

（过去的博文）

《至少还有你》，是我喜欢的一首歌，不仅曲子好听，歌词也极好，无论什么人唱，都能成为情圣。我第一次听这首歌是张国荣唱的，他生病时嗓子有些嘶哑，但激情所致，金石为开，至今还是我最偏爱的“版本”(同性恋如果都像哥哥，世界岂不更好：－）。不过这首歌是歌手的试金石，谁的水平差，一唱了然。我除了他和林忆莲的，还真听不下去。不信试试。

 

苏格兰老歌《Loch Lomond》，是我刚来英国时很喜欢的一首歌。NPR上这样说:"It doesn't happen very often, but once in a while, a song comesalong that remains popular for decades or even centuries. What is it that gives these songs their longlife? Is it an infectious tune? or a simple timeless story thattouches generation after generation?" 

 

背景和歌词：

至少还有你

 

我怕来不及我要抱着你

直到感觉你的皱纹有了岁月的痕迹

直到肯定你是真的直到失去力气

为了你我愿意

动也不能动也要看着你

直到感觉你的发线有了白雪的痕迹

直到视线变得模糊直到不能呼吸

让我们形影不离

如果全世界我也可以放弃

至少还有你值得我去珍惜

而你在这里就是生命的奇迹

也许全世界我也可以忘记

就是不愿意失去你的消息

你掌心的痣我总记得在那里

我怕来不及我要抱着你

直到感觉你的发线有了白雪的痕迹

直到视线变得模糊直到不能呼吸

让我们形影不离

如果全世界我也可以放弃

至少还有你值得我去珍惜

而你在这里就是生命的奇迹

也许全世界我也可以忘记

就是不愿意失去你的消息

你掌心的痣我总记得在那里

我们好不容易我们身不由已

我怕时间太快不够将你看仔细

我怕时间太慢日夜担心失去你

恨不得一夜之间白头永不分离

如果全世界我也可以放弃

至少还有你值得我去珍惜

而你在这里就是生命的奇迹

也许全世界我也可以忘记

就是不愿意失去你的消息

你掌心的痣我总记得在那里

在那里

Loch Lomond song lyrics and music are famed throughout theworld. Sung by bands such as Runrig, Celtic Horizon,Corries,BeggarsRow and many others. It is a true story of two Jacobites capturedby the English and due to be hanged at Carlisle. Then the EnglishLord decides to set free the unmarried man and hang the married manas an example. The idea was that the free man would tell everyonewhat would happen if they fought for their freedom again. But theJacobite to be hanged said to the other "you take the high road,and I'll take the low road and I'll be in Scotland afore ye" Themeaning of this is that to the Celtic man of Scotland the high roadis the road of the living and the low road is the road of those whohave passed into the spirit world through death. He believed thathe would be with his wife before the free man. (Mel Gibson 的Braveheart 说的大概是那时的事)

 

Loch Lomond

 

By yon bonnie banks and by yon bonnie braes,

Where the sun shines bright on Loch Lomond,

Where me and my true love were ever won't to gae

On the bonnie bonnie banks o' Loch Lomond

 

Chorus

 

O' ye'll tak the high road and  I'll tak thelow road,

And I'll be in Scotland afore ye

But me and my true love  will never meetagain,

On the bonnie bonnie banks o' loch Lomond

 

Twas there that we parted in yon shady glen,

On the steep steep side o' Ben Lomond,

Where in soft purple hue, the Hieland hills we view,

And the moon coming oot in the gloaming.

 

Chorus

 

O' ye'll tak the high road and  I'll take thelow road,

And I'll be in Scotland afore ye

But me and my true love will never meet again,

On the bonnie bonnie banks o' loch Lomond

    

The wee birdies sing, and the wild flowers spring,

And in sunshine the waters are sleeping,

But the broken heart will ken nae second spring again,'

Though the waefu' may cease fae their greeting

 

Chorus

 

O' ye'll tak the high road and  I'll tak thelow road,

And I'll be in Scotland afore ye

But me and my true love  will never meetagain,

On the bonnie bonnie banks o' loch Lomond
