Jamaica Farewell

(2011-10-12 11:06:33) 下一個


Song: Jamaica Farewell
Artist: The Brothers Four

Down the way where the nights are gay
And the sun shines daily on the mountain top
I took a trip on a sailing ship
And when I reach Jamaica I made a stop

But I'm sad to say, I'm on my way
Won't be back for many a day
My heart is down, my head is turning around
I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town



Sounds of laughter everywhere
And the dancing girls swaying to and fro
I must declare, my heart is there
Tho' I've been from Maine to Mexico

But I'm sad to say, I'm on my way
Won't be back for many a day
My heart is down, my head is turning around
I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town

我聽到你的清唱了,你還會吹口哨,我收藏了《小路》的口哨曲,很好聽,不知你是否聽過?和你分享:

我對唱歌以及伴奏所知甚少,我幫你去YouTube上找到了Jamaica Farewell的Karaoke視頻版本和mp3的音頻版本,連接如下:

還沒搞好----彈唱看來很簡單, 但一直不好聽---這是清唱的---

這麽快就寫好了,你自己會彈會唱,不妨一試。順祝周末快樂。

寫到這裏基本可以中文唱了--誰來試試-音樂還真能心髒保健呀?

當這月夜微微暖風吹
岸邊太陽再慢慢升起過群山
我上船航行過海灣
來到了牙買加我下了船

但我真後悔, 不能歸
多少日子不能回
我心悲傷, 我回頭望
我心上的人兒在故鄉

這裏歡笑無憂愁
還有美麗女郎跳舞在左右
我想把心兒留在這
雖然我曾經到過上海和廣州

但我真後悔, 不能歸
多少日子不能回
我心悲傷, 我回頭望
我心上的人兒在故鄉

來到趕集的街頭
姑娘們頭頂貨物到處走
我的鹹魚最新鮮
這個五加皮勝過茅台酒

譯的真好,頗有意境。

讀到你寫的“真正輕鬆--可用來降血壓--”,我想了以前收藏的一篇關於音樂對心髒保健的文章,我剛剛重帖了,和你分享:

Enjoyable Music May Keep Heart In Tune

林貝卡 回複 悄悄話 The Brothers Four
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Brothers Four are an American folk singing group, founded in 1957 in Seattle, Washington, known for their 1960 hit song "Greenfields".Bob Flick, John Paine, Mike Kirkland, and Dick Foley met at the University of Washington, where they were members of the Phi Gamma Delta fraternity in 1956 (hence the "Brothers" appellation). Their first professional performances were the result of a prank played on them in 1958 by a rival fraternity, who had arranged for someone to call them, pretend to be from Seattle's Colony Club, and invite them to come down to audition for a gig. Even though they were not expected at the club, they were allowed to sing a few songs anyway, and were subsequently hired. Flick recalls them being paid "mostly in beer." Their hit singles are "Greenfields," "The Green Leaves of Summer," "Hootenanny Saturday Night," "The John B Sails" &"Try to remember".Despite all the changes and having spent 53 years in the business, the group is still active.
