每週一星
在今天的每週一星當中,我們説的並不是一個歌星或是一個影星,而是一種音樂形式,那就是鄉村音樂,Country Music. Country Music really began in 1927, in Bristol, Tennessee。Bristol是美國西部的一個港口,在田納西州,這裡至今仍然被人們認為是鄉村音樂的發源地。因為在1927年被譽為“鄉村音樂之父”的Jimmie Rodgers開始了鄉村音樂創作和發行,使鄉村音樂從民間傳唱走向了舞臺。
你看像現在的鄉村歌手比如Faith Hill, Shania Twain, 都不再是牛仔的形象了,而是非常時尚的外表。而且也很難看到她們抱著吉他邊彈邊唱了。但她們仍然被定義為鄉村歌手。主要的原因是鄉村音樂向著多元化,商業化的方向發展了。但這對於音樂迷來講是個好事,因為這使得鄉村音樂更好聽,更容易接受了。
經典放送
Dixie Chicks就是一隻還保持著這種傳統風格的樂隊。而且她們非常受聽眾的歡迎,在2003年她們捧走了多項Grammy獎。像我們都很熟悉鄉村音樂演奏時都要用到木吉他,而且還有一種樂器也是經常用到的,那就是小提琴。這裡我們説的小提琴與我們平時説的violin還有一點不同他的英文叫做fiddle是一種鄉村小提琴,fiddle。這也是鄉村音樂的一個特徵,所以你在“小甜甜” Britney的音樂中是看不到fiddle的。
歌詞:
Traveling Soldier
Two days past 18
He was waiting for the bus in his army greens
Sat down in a booth
At a cafe there
Gave his order to a girl with a bow in her hair
He's a little shy so she gives him a smile
He says would you mind sitting down for a while and talking to me,
I'm feeling a little low.
She said I'm off in an hour and I know where we can go
So they went down and they sat on the pier
He said I betcha gotta boyfriend, but I don't care,
I've go no one to send a letter to,
would you mind if I sent one back here to you
I cried, never gonna hold the hand of another guy
Too young for him they told her
Waiting for the love of a traveling soldier
Our love will never end
waiting for the soldier to come back again
Never more to be alone when the letter says the soldier's coming home
So the letters came from an army camp
in California and Vietnam and he told her of his heart
it might be love and all of the things he was so scared of
Except when it's getting kinda rough over here,
I think of that day sitting down by the pier
and I close my eyes and see your pretty smile,
don't worry but I won't be able to write for a while.
Sing a Song:
Almost heaven West Virginia
天堂般的西弗吉尼亞
Blue ridge mountains Shenandoah river
藍色的山脈 故鄉的河
Life is old there older than the trees
這裡有古老的生活比樹要久遠
Younger than the mountains
比山巒要年輕
Growing like a breeze
像微風般成長
Country roads take me home
鄉村路帶我回家
to the place I belong
帶我到我屬於的地方
West Virginia mountain momma
西弗吉尼亞 母親山
Take me home country roads
帶我回家鄉村路
All my memories gather round her
我所有的記憶都圍繞著她
Miners’ lady stranger to blue water
礦工的妻子 沒有見過大海的模樣
Dark and dusty painted on the sky
礦灰和塵土染滿了天空
Misty taste of moon shine
朦朧的月色
Tear drops in my eyes
映射我的淚光
I hear her voice in the morning hours she calls me
清晨我聽見她在呼喚我
Radio reminds me of my home far away
收音機廣播使我想起我遙遠的故鄉
Driving down the road I get a feeling that
開車行駛在路上我有種感覺
I should have been home
我已經回到了家鄉
yesterday
就在昨天
