在夏夜月光下听歌

mach发表于2006年08月05日 00:40 | 永久链接 | 评论(7)

我正坐在阳台门边的地上听歌，月光照在地板上，时时有微凉的南风吹过，吹动窗帘和天上的白云。听歌的间隙，外面有促织和青蛙的叫声传进来。分享一下我正在听的歌吧！

♬1. 先来一段New Age。Maksim的Desert Skies。建议到这个地址去看一下，上面有一段30M的视频，是用这个音乐作背景的，很有感觉。

♬2. The reflection of true life... is always hard. Albert Hammond的老歌It Never Rains in Southern California。

Got on board a westbound seven forty-seven
搭上西行的波音747
Didn't think before deciding what to do
不曾考虑何从何去
Ooh, that talk of opportunities, TV breaks and movies
喔人生充满机遇荧屏电影上的一切就要成为现实
Rang true, sure rang true ...
成为现实
Seems it never rains in southern California
好象南加州从来不下雨
Seems I've often heard that kind of talk before
好象我常听到类似的说法
It never rains in California, but girl, don't they warn ya?
南加州从不下雨可是乖乖他们没有警告过你
It pours, man, it pours
我看下的是倾盆大雨
I'm out of work, I'm out of my head
我没有工作茫然失措
Out of self respect, I'm out of bread
我一贫如洗找不到自己
I'm underloved, I'm underfed, I wanna go home
没有人爱我饥饿无比我想回家
It never rains in California, but girl, don't they warn ya?
南加州从不下雨可是乖乖他们没有警告过你
It pours, man, it pours
我看下的是倾盆大雨

Will you tell the folks back home I nearly made it?
你回去的时候能不能告诉家里的人我差一点就成功了
Had offers but didn't know which one to take
机会多多但是要抓住也不容易
Please don't tell them how you found me
请别告诉他们你如何找到了我
Don't tell 'em how you found me
请别告诉他们你如何找到了我
Give me a break, give me a break
让我休息一下休息一下

Seems it never rains in southern California
好象南加州从来不下雨
Seems I've often heard that kind of talk before
好象我常听到类似的说法
It never rains in California, but girl, don't they warn ya?
南加州从不下雨可是乖乖他们没有警告过你
It pours, man, it pour
我看下的是倾盆大雨

♬3. 夏天是什么颜色的？粉红色吧，我觉得。Pink Martini是一个14人乐队，核心人物都毕业自Harvard，但是他们却是在法国成名。听听女主唱China Forbes的嗓音吧：《Lilly》。没找到这张专集的封面，下面这张是专集Sympathique的封面，巴黎，轮滑的大本营，夏天黄昏的感觉就是这样了。

Lilly
MY ONLY WISH

Lilly comes when you stop to call her
Lilly runs when you look away
Lilly leaves kisses on your collar
Lilly, Lilly, Lilly, Lilly, stay!

One day she passed him by
A twinkle in her eye
He said " she was meant for me!"
But when he turned around
He lost what he had found
Oh where can his Lilly be?

Lilly comes when you stop to call her
Lilly runs when you look away
Lilly leaves kisses on your collar
Lilly, Lilly, Lilly, Lilly, stay!

He searched the city streets
He tempted her with treats
But nobody stopped to taste them
Some are in his pocket
Some are in a locket
He couldn't bring himself to waste them

Ever since she's gone
Some days he can't go on
She runined for another
Pressed up against the glass
He prays that she will pass
Now he's living with his mother

Lilly comes when you stop to call her
Lilly runs when you look away
Lilly leaves kisses on your collar
Lilly, Lilly, Lilly, Lilly, stay!

Stay, stay, stay, stay

♬4. 好歹要来一点中文歌吧......要不然要被骂装什么张靓影了，虽然我以为音乐更多的在于旋律，而不是歌词所表达的意思。曹芳的《神秘礼物》，和《遇见我》，可能好多人都听过了。

♬5. 美籍华人歌手Susan Wong(黄翠珊)的歌《Kiss Me Goodbye》，她的歌怎么就这么小众呢，都找不到现成的歌词，不过这是首慢歌，慢慢听了，她唱得很清楚。

♬6. 久石讓在宫崎骏动画片《天空之城》中的单曲Carring You。歌手是井上杏美(井上あずみ, Azumi Inoue)。歌词如下，除了可怜的几个汉字之外，统统不懂，有没有日语达人能把它翻成汉语？

あの地平線(ちへいせん)
輝(かがや)くのは
どこかに君を
かくしているから
たくさんの灯(ひ)が
なつかしいのは
あのどれかひとつに
君がいるから
さあ　出(で)かけよう
ひときれのパン
ナイフ(NA I FU)　ランプ(RA N PU)
かばんにともつめこんで
父(とう)さんが残(のこ)した
熱(あつ)い想(おも)い
母(かあ)さんがくれた
あのまなざし
地球(ちきゅう)はまわる
君をかくして
輝(かがや)く瞳(ひとみ)
ひらめく灯(ともしみ)
地球(ちきゅう)はまわる
君をのせて
いつかきっと出会(でらる)う
ぼくらをのせて

♬7. 王凡瑞的《青春》。“与生活讲和”是这首歌里的闪光词句啊。

♬8. 瑞典的Lisa Ekdahl小姐的歌很少有不好听的，这首和Elie Semoun合唱的La minute de silence(the minute of silence)更是珠联壁合呀。

La Minute De Silence
Où est passé le temps
Que je passais à penser
A vous ? à vous...

Où sont passés ces songes ?
ces jolis mensonges
D'amour ? d'amour...

Une minute de silence
Pour les amours évaporées
Une minute de silence
Pour les amants séparés
Soixante secondes
Dans le tourbillon du monde
Soixante secondes

Où s'en vont ces amants ?
Leurs promesses hélas
S'effacent s'effacent...

Où s'en vont ces amants
Leurs promesses hélas
S'effacent s'effacent...

沉默的一分钟

我想你的时间
光阴流向哪里
流向你？向你……

良辰美景的虚幻
如幻梦漂向罔川
爱似梦？似幻……

沉默的一分钟
悼念消逝的爱情
沉默的一分钟
回忆恋人的别离
六十个一秒
消散在人群里
那六十秒

爱人们如今在哪里？
他们的山盟海誓
已无声，无息……

♬9. 2003年的电影《迁徙的鸟》(Le Peuple Migrateur）里的主题曲，作者是Bruno Coulais，演唱者是著名的摇滚歌手Nick Cave。歌名是To be by your side。

To Be By Your Side

---《迁徙的鸟 Le Peuple Migrateur》主题曲
Nick Cave

Across the oceans, across the seas.
Over forests of blackened trees.
Through valleys so still we dare not breathe.
To be by your side.

Over the shifting desert plains.
Across mountains all in flames.
Through howling winds and fringing rains.
To be by your side.

Every mile and every year.
For everyone a little tear.
I can not explain this, dear.
I will not even try.

Into the night as the stars collide.
Across the border that divide.
Forest of stone standing petrified.
To be by your side.

Every mile and every year.
For everyone a single tear.
I can not explain this, dear.
I will not even try.

For I know one thing.
Love comes on a wing.
For tonight I will by your side.
But tomorrow I will fly.

From the deepest oceans to the highest peak.
Through the frontiers of your sleep.
Into the valley where we dare not speak.
To be by your side..

Across the endless wilderness
Where all the beasts bow down their heads.
Darling , I will never rest till
I am by your side.

Every mile and every year.
Time and distance disappear.
I can not explain this , dear.
No , I will not even try.

And I know just one thing.
Love comes on a wing.
And tonight I will be by your side.
But tomorrow I will fly away.
Love rises with the day.
And tonight I will be by your side.
But tomorrow I will fly.
Tomorrow I will fly.

"The story of migrating birds is the story of a promise, the promise to return..."

--(雅克·贝汉《Le Peuple Migrateur, Travelling Birds》

♬10. 日剧《美丽的人》主题曲：法语歌《L'aquoiboniste》, Jane Birkin 演唱。这个英国女演员六十年代成名于法国，并留在法国从事演员和歌唱事业。歌名aquoiboniste，是把词组 a quoi bon 连在一起，加个 -iste 后缀，意为“总说 a quoi bon(有什么用呢)” 的人。在《尼罗河上的惨案》里Jane饰演贵妇人贪财的女仆，《阳光下的罪恶》里她扮演了凶手之一，那个假装吃醋的妻子。

歌曲: L'aquoiboniste
歌手: Jane Birkin
