01 Yesterday Once More 昨日重现
词曲:理查德.卡朋特/约翰.贝迪斯
When I was young 当我小的时候 I'd listen to the radio 我聆听收音机
Waitin' for my favorite songs 等待着心爱的歌曲 When they played I'd sing along 合着旋律清唱 It made me smile. 笑容满面
Those were such happy times 那是多么幸福的时光 And not so long ago 并不遥远
How I wondered where they'd gone 可我却不知道它们到哪去了 But they're back again 但它们又回来了
Just like a long lost friend 像久无音信的朋友
All the songs I loved so well. 所有我那么爱过的歌曲
Every Sha-la-la-la 每一个Sha-la-la-la Every Wo-o-wo-o 每一个Wo-o-wo-o Still shines 依然闪亮
Every shing-a-ling-a-ling 他们开始唱的
That they're startin' to sing's 每一个shing-a-ling-a-ling So fine. 如此悦耳
When they get to the part 当他们唱到
Where he's breakin' her heart 他让她伤心的那一段 It can really make me cry 真的让我哭泣 Just like before 像从前一样
It's yesterday once more. 昔日又重来
Lookin' back on how it was 回首过去的 In years gone by 那些时光
And the good times that I had 我曾有过的欢乐 Makes today seem rather sad 使今天更加伤感 So much has changed. 太多的改变
It was songs of love that 只有那些跟着唱过的 I would sing to then 旧情歌
And I'd memorize each word 我还记得每一个字 Those old melodies 那些旧旋律
Still sound so good to me 仍然那么动听
As they melt the years away. 可以把岁月融化
Every Sha-la-la-la 每一个Sha-la-la-la Every Wo-o-wo-o 每一个Wo-o-wo-o Still shines 依然闪亮
Every shing-a-ling-a-ling 他们开始唱的
That they're startin' to sing's 每一个shing-a-ling-a-ling So fine. 如此悦耳
All my best memories 所有我最美好的回忆 Come back clearly to me 清晰地浮现眼前
Some can even make me cry. 有些甚至让我泪流满面 Just like before 就像从前一样
It's yesterday once more. 昔日又重来
When I was young, I'd listen to the radio, 当我年少的时候,我总爱守在收音机旁 Waiting for my favorite songs.
等待着我最心爱的歌曲从收音机里轻轻流淌。 When they played, I'd sing along. 每当歌声响起,我都会独自哼唱, It make me smile.
这时的我,心神荡漾。
Those were such happy times and not so long ago. 那些真是快乐的时光,仿佛就发生在不远的身旁,
How I wondered where they'd gone!
我现在多想知道美好的时光都已去向何方。 But they're back again just like a long lost friend,
然而此时,他们都又回来了,就象我的一个老友一样。 All the songs I love so well. 我是多么喜欢这些歌曲啊! Every shalala every wo'wo
每一个字,每一句歌词, Still shines.
仍在我心里闪耀;
Every shing-a-ling-a-ling that they're starting to sing’s 每一个音符,每一段旋律, So fine
仍令我心中掀起波浪。 When they get to the part 每当听到歌的高潮,
Where he's breaking her heart, 他伤了她的心的时候, It can really make me cry
我仍会为之哀伤。 Just like before. 就象过去一样.
It's yesterday once more.
一切仿佛旧日重现, (Shoobie do lang lang) 无比惆怅。
Looking back on how it was in years gone by 回过头来看看走过的岁月, And the good times that I had 和曾经美好的时光,
Makes today seem rather sad. 如今的生活是如此令人心伤, So much has changed.
多少东西都已改变,无法阻挡!
It was songs of love that I would sing to them 只有那些关于爱的歌曲让我依就吟唱 And I'd memorize each word.
每句歌词都深深地印在我的心坎上。
Those old melodies still sound so good to me, 这些远去的旋律一直默默地伴随着我, As they melt the years away 即便是岁月蹉跎,颜容消磨。
Every shalala every wo'wo still shines
每一个字,每一句歌词,仍在我心里闪耀;
Every shing-a-ling-a-ling that they're starting to sing’s 每一个音符,每一段旋律 , So fine
令我心中掀起波浪。
All my best memories come back clearly to me.
我仿佛又回到了我那最美好的记忆中,清新而又爽朗, Some can even make me cry
过去的一些事情又不禁让我潸然泪下,暗自悲伤, Just like before. 就象过去一样,
It's yesterday once more. 昨日重现,岁月如歌, (Shoobie do lang lang) 如风随形,飘然忽没。
Carpenters是上世纪七十年代怀旧浪潮的代表。六十年代是个令人激动的年代,信息时代的曙光、摇滚乐、性解放、“花童”运动、青年主体地位的确立、思想的骚动、
文化大革命、非线性理论、载人登月、冷战??人类的激情都在那十年间以令人震撼的力度爆发出来。
Carpenters正好没赶上这十年。他们目睹了那个年代,而当他们精神抖擞地登上舞台、准备大放光彩的时候
却发现时代变了,观众已经离去,
剩下的几个人吵吵着要看别的节目。其实原本他们也可以演其他的节目,但他们不愿意,他们已经被定型了,改不了了。于是他们只好唱逝去的好时光,象那些老头子一样。
虽然他们的生命还没正式开始,但已经成为过去了。他们的怀旧情绪如此真切、如此不加掩饰。Karen那不事雕琢的声线正是恰到好处。

[美] 约翰·丹佛 演唱
简直是天堂啊!西弗吉尼亚,兰岭山,谢纳多阿河。那里的生命年代久远,比树木古老,比群山年轻,象和风一样慢慢生长。
乡村路,带我回家,到我生长的地方—西弗吉尼亚,山峦妈妈,乡村路,带我回家。
我的全部记忆都围绕着她,矿工的情人,没见过大海的人儿。天空灰蒙蒙的昏暗一片,月光朦朦胧胧,我的眼泪汪汪。
乡村路,带我回家,到我生长的地方—西弗吉尼亚,山峦妈妈,乡村路,带我回家。
早晨她把我呼唤,我听到了她的声音,无线电广播使我想起遥远的家乡,驱车沿路而下,我感到我本应昨天就回家,昨天就回家。
乡村路,带我回家,到我生长的地方—西弗吉尼亚,山峦妈妈,乡村路,带我回家。乡村路,带我回家。
丹佛演唱的歌曲大部分都是自己创作的,终于在1971年以一曲《Take Me Home, Country road》(《乡路送我回家》)一跃成名为著名乡村音乐歌星。
歌词:
Almost heaven, West Virginia,
Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah River. Life is old there, older than the trees:
Younger than the mountains, growing like a breeze. Country roads, take me home, To the place I belong,
West Virginia, Mountain mamma, Take me home, country roads. All my memories gather round her, Miner's lady, stranger to blue water. Dark and dusty, painted on the sky,
Misty taste of moonshine, teardrop in my eye. Country roads, take me home,
To the place I belong,
West Virginia, Mountain mamma, Take me home, country roads.
I hear her voice in the morning hours, She calls me.
The radio reminds me of my home Far away, And driving down the road, I get a feeling
That I should have been home yesterday, yesterday. Country roads, take me home, To the place I belong,
West Virginia, Mountain mamma, Take me home, country roads. Country roads, take me home, To the place I belong,
West Virginia, Mountain mamma, Take me home, country roads. Take me home,country roads. Take me home, country roads. ?
歌词大意1:
西弗吉尼亚,简直就象天堂一样——在那里可以看到蓝岭及雪兰多河。那里的生活源远流长,比大树悠久,比高山年少,如微风渐进。乡村路,请带我回到属于我的家——西弗吉尼亚,乡村路,请带我回家。
我一直想着我妈妈,她是个矿工的太太从来没有见过大海。矿场上的灰尘总是将天空染成黑色。在回忆中,我仿佛品尝到了以前常喝的家里自制的酒。想到这些,不禁潸然泪下。
我听到她在早晨呼唤我。收音机的声音使我想起远方的家乡。就在我开车回家的路上,我有一种早就该回家的感觉
译2:
就像是天堂,西维吉尼亚州 有蓝色山脊的群山和雪纳杜河
在那儿生命是古老的,比森林更古老 但比山脉年轻
像风一样自在的成长
乡村小路,带我回家 回到我属於的地方
就是西维吉尼亚州——山脉之母 带我回家,乡村小路
我所有的回忆都围绕著她——— 矿工的淑女、蓝色河流的陌生人、 涂满了黑与灰的天空
