500 miles - Peter, Paul and Mary [Original Audio] 7,322,321 views
我相信音樂是上帝賜與人類的禮物,是不分國界,語言和時空的。而音樂卻又如此之神奇,微妙,不經意中,你的心靈就會被深深觸動, 仿佛這段樂曲或歌詞正在對你娓娓道來一個久遠的,屬於你自己的故事。這大概也是我每每聽到美國六七十年代盛行的民謠 《500 miles -離家五百哩》,不由地就會砰然心動,尤其當聽到“Not a shirt on my back,Not a penny to my name。。Lord, I'm 500 miles away from home 。”這幾句歌詞時, 常是潸然淚下,不由地沉浸於我十六歲離家去鄉下插隊的往事中。。
今晚,剛在“東雲子” 的博客裏又欣賞到“Peter, Paul & Mary”的“500 miles”,( 謝謝你~東雲子),就想起把過去寫的一篇短文發上來,謝謝閱讀,也請欣賞幾個版本的“500 miles”,希望您也喜歡. Also wish you a day full of beautiful music and songs.
If you miss the train I'm on,
You will know that I am gone,
You can hear the whistle blow, a hundred miles.
A hundred miles, a hundred miles,
A hundred miles, a hundred miles.
You can hear the whistle blow, a hundred miles.
Lord, I'm one, Lord I'm two
Lord, I'm three, Lord I'm four,
Lord, I'm five hundred miles away from home.
Not a shirt on my back,
Not a penny to my name,
Lord, I can't go back home this away.
This away, this away, this away, this away.
Lord, I can't go back home, this away.
If you miss the train I'm on, you will know that I am gone,
You can hear the whistle blow, a hundred miles.
A hundred miles, a hundred miles,
A hundred miles, a hundred miles.
You can hear the whistle blow, a hundred miles.
