今天,我給大家帶來一首我最喜歡的英文歌曲。這首歌是我多年前無意中發現的,於是愛不釋手,沒事老哼哼;但已經聽了無數遍了。
<blowing in the wind>美國歌手鮑布迪倫的成名作,誕生於上世紀60年代,是著名的反戰歌曲,把一首反戰歌曲唱成像搖籃曲,正是他的成功之處。幾十年來全球唱片的銷售超過了1000萬。
鮑布迪倫一生創作了500多首歌曲,其中很多被世界上的眾多歌手翻唱,因此被公認為搖滾之父。他已經很老了,卻還是活躍在歌壇上。2010年還造訪了中國,開了演唱會,因此中國歌壇對他亦不陌生。
下麵是《blowing in the wind》的歌詞。希望大家喜歡。
How many roads must a man walk down Before they call him a man How many seas must a white dove sail Before she sleeps in the sand How many times must the cannon balls fly Before they're forever banned The answer, my friend, is blowing in the wind The answer is blowing in the wind How many years must a mountain exist Before it is washed to the sea How many years can some people exist Before they're allowed to be free How many times can a man turn his head And pretend that he just doesn't see The answer, my friend, is blowing in the wind The answer is blowing in the wind How many times must a man look up Before he can see the sky How many ears must one man have Before he can hear people cry How many deaths will it take 'Till he knows that too many people have died The answer, my friend, is blowing in the wind |
