Moonlight Shadow—原唱:Maggie Reilly
大家好,这里是曲中人音乐大赏,今天我们要欣赏的歌曲是《 Moonlight Shadow》
Moonlight Shadow,是为纪念甲壳虫乐队(The Beatles)被枪杀的主唱约翰·列侬(John Lennon)而作。
1980年12月8日,马克·查普曼伪装成一个歌迷,在列侬的公寓旁边徘徊了很久。那天晚上,当列侬从录音棚返回家中的时候,查普曼请列侬在他的签字本上签名。当时他内心曾进行过激烈的斗争,但最后仍然举起手枪朝着列侬的后背连开了4枪。 和Moonlight Shadow中所写的He was shot six times by a man on the run类似。但看了原版的MTV之后,这首歌应该和John Lennon的被刺并没有直接联系,似乎男主角死于一场决斗中,这倒象是普希金。
《Moonlight Shadow》 (直译为“月光下的影子”)是一首由多乐器演奏家迈克·欧菲尔德谱写和演奏的英语流行歌曲,歌曲发行于1983年5月,并收录于同年发售的专辑《Crises》中。歌曲人声由迈克·欧菲尔德和于1980年相识的苏格兰歌手玛姬·赖利录制。这是欧菲尔德最成功的单曲,其排到了欧洲多个排行榜榜首。
Moonlight Shadow(歌词)
The last that ever she saw him
她最后一次看到他时候
carried away by a moonlight shadow
沉浸在月影中
He passed on worried and warning
他表现出忧虑和警告
carried away by a moonlight shadow
沉浸在月影中
Lost in a riddle that Saturday night
消失在那个星期六晚上
far away on the other side
就在河远远的另一岸
he was caught in the middle of a desperate fight
他卷入了一场争斗
and she couldn't find how to push through
而她不知如何是好
The trees that whisper in the evening
夜晚树林低语
carried away by a moonlight shadow
沉浸在月影中
Sing a song of sorrow and grieving
唱着哀伤苦恼之歌
carried away by a moonlight shadow
沉浸在月影中
All she saw was a silhouette of a gun
她只目睹那把枪的轮廓
far away on the other side
就在河远远的另一岸
He was shot six times by a man on the run
一个男人在逃跑中对他连开了六枪。
and she couldn't find how to push through
而她不知如何是好
I stay I pray see you in heaven far away
我留在原地 我祈求 期望能在遥远的天堂再次见到你
I stay I pray see you in heaven one day
我站着不动 我祈求 期望有一天能在天堂再次见到你
Four a m in the morning
早上四点时
carried away by a moonlight shadow
沉浸在月影中
I watched your vision forming
我看到你模糊的身影在我面前显现
carried away by a moonlight shadow
沉浸在月影中
Stars move slowly in the silvery night
在银色的夜晚中星星放慢了移动速度
far away on the other side
就在河远远的另一岸
Will you come to talk to me this night
今晚你会来和我说话吗
but she couldn't find how to push through
今晚你会来和我说话吗
I stay I pray see you in heaven far away
我留在原地 我祈求 期望能在遥远的天堂再次见到你
I stay I pray see you in heaven one day
我站着不动 我祈求 期望有一天能在天堂再次见到你
Caught in the middle of a hundred and five
他卷入了一场争斗
The night was heavy and the air was alive
那晚夜色凝重空气里人声嘈嘈
But she couldn't find how to push through
但是她不知道怎么才能继续下去
Far away on the other side
就在河远远的另一岸
The night was heavy and the air was alive
那晚夜色凝重空气里人声嘈嘈
But she couldn't find how to push through
而她不知如何是好
she couldn't find how to push through
她不知如何是好
how to push through
如何是好
how to push through
如何是好
how to push through
如何是好
how to push through
如何是好
how to push through
如何是好
