几十年前读大学的时候,我的英文老师把美国民谣歌手Hedy West创作的《500 miles away from home》(离家500里)这首歌交给了我们,今天分享给大家。
If you miss the train I'm on,
若你与我的列车交错,
You will know that I am gone 你会知晓我已远走他乡,
You can hear the whistle blow你能听到它气鸣嘶吼,
A hundred miles 离开一百里,
A hundred miles, a hundred miles,一百里,又一百里,
A hundred miles, a hundred miles,一百里,再一百里,
You can hear the whistle blow. 你隐约还能听到那鸣哨四起,
A hundred miles. 一百里。
Lord I'm one, lord I'm two,我的主,我已迈出一百里,两百里,
lord I'm three, lord I'm four,我的主,已经三百里,四百里,
Lord I'm five hundred miles,主啊,我已足足远离那家门五百里,
Five hundred miles, five hundred miles,五百里,五百里了,
Five hundred miles, five hundred miles,五百里,是五百里,
Lord I'm five hundred miles.上帝我已足足远离家门五百里。
Not a shirt on my back,我如今无衣履在身,
Not a penny to my name,我更是身无分文,
Lord I can't go back home,主,恕我无法以此窘境归去,
This away,This away, this away,如此窘境,无衣履在身,
This away, this away,如此窘境,更身无分文
Lord I can't go back home,主,恕我无法以此窘境归去
This away.
If you miss the train I'm on,若你与我的列车交错,
You will know that I am gone,你会知晓我已远走他乡,
You can hear the whistle blow,你能听到那鸣哨四起,
A hundred miles.我继续远离了下一百里。
时光如流水,转眼几十年。读书期间老师我们学了好多英文歌曲,如今能够完整的唱下来,能完整的记住歌词的,仅此这一首……
