paul simon 都知道。聽了幾十年,最終我最喜歡的一首不是集市也不是靜之聲。
年齡越來越大,我對paul的歌,歌詞的審美也在變。一開始集市那是大學時代。能彈唱集市,幾乎是民謠入門的標誌。之後靜之聲,boxer等等,也是美輪美奐的民謠經典。最終我卻把paul的民謠作品之冠,送給了他另外一首. I am a ROCK. 那之後我開始聽他的爵士。就跟他的民謠漸行漸遠了。現在,好久不聽paul了,酥酥這一貼,提醒了我那首老歌。跟大家分享一下。祝大家周末愉快。
I am a ROCK
A winter's day
In a deep and dark December
I am alone
Gazing from my window to the streets below
On a freshly fallen silent shroud of snow
I am a rock
I am an island
I've built walls
A fortress deep and mighty
That none may penetrate
I have no need of friendship; friendship causes pain
It's laughter and it's loving I disdain
I am a rock
I am an island
Don't talk of love
Well I've heard the word before
It's sleeping in my memory
I won't disturb the slumber of feelings that have died
If I never loved I never would have cried
I am a rock
I am an island
I have my books
And my poetry to protect me
I am shielded in my armor
Hiding in my room, safe within my womb
I touch no one and no one touches me
I am a rock
I am an island
And a rock feels no pain
And an island never cries
