想當初,我與銀子有一個美國夢。在夢裏啊,我跟銀子去加州淘金,因為銀子覺得他家太多的銀子,沒有gold不夠富呀!與當初皇後區的首富川普Trump家沒法比。
所以我們一起去加州舊金山那邊淘金,在那裏住在一個小黑屋裏麵可苦啦,沒窗戶、沒有燈,回到屋裏就是瞎摸,但晚上也找不到吃的。
因為我們去的太晚了,時間點可能也搞錯了,那兒根本已沒金子,到處是流流浪漢,還有波士頓來的還博士後。
好吧,沒發財,無臉臉見美東父老。
那隻好在鐵路線上幹粗活吧,就是搬鋼軌,那個重啊!不過銀子能吃,就是Idaho土刀豆,所以他力氣大, 臂腕粗,常幫我完成完不成的任務,而且還跟我對半分工錢。
有一天,我們的小黑屋被一個黑家夥偷了,所有的1000刀工錢的900塊沒了,不過那家夥還給我們留下了100刀。良心大大的有?
沒! 因為SF那地偷1000刀是要坐監獄的。
很掃興,隻好又幹了兩周便打道回府,其實也沒政府,銀子曾是扭腰的小地主而已。
所以,他回到紐約從頭開始,還好他地下室還有不少銀子,並沒有輸在第二次的起跑線上。
那我沒錢呀,當時就沒回東岸。就去非洲的像牙海岸,參加和平誌願團The Peace Corp(在那兒管飯吃)。
吃飽了,就想家,晚上就瞎唱,比如這首紐約妹子Gaga唱的有加州金子的情歌兒。
“這樣念著” 《Always remember us this way》:
"Always Remember Us This Way"
(from "A Star Is Born" soundtrack)
You look at me and, babe, I wanna catch on fire
It's buried in my soul like California gold
You found the light in me that I couldn't find
So when I'm all choked up
But I can't find the words
Every time we say goodbye
Baby, it hurts
When the sun goes down
And the band won't play
I'll always remember us this way
Lovers in the night
Poets tryna write
We don't know how to rhyme
But damn we try
But all I really know
You're where I wanna go
The part of me that's you will never die
So when I'm all choked up
But I can't find the words
Every time we say goodbye
Baby, it hurts
When the sun goes down
And the band won't play
I'll always remember us this way
Oh, yeah
I don't wanna be just a memory, baby, yeah
Hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo
Hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo
Hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo hoo hooooooooo
So when I'm all choked up
But I can't find the words
Every time we say goodbye
Baby, it hurts
When the sun goes down
And the band won't play
I'll always remember us this way, way, yeah
When you look at me
And the whole world fades
I'll always remember us this way
Oooh, oooh, hmmmm
Oooh, oooh, hmmmm
