Lonely Sky, 这首我们都喜欢的歌, 说是 Bloom 兄的最爱并不过份, 半年多前在 tompda 上谈论 chris 时, Bloom兄说这歌伴随他数年大学生活, 每次重听这歌都令他想起在大学时的情景. Bloom兄, 数日不露面, 你去了哪里?
The cold north wind they call "La Bise" is swirling round about my knees
被称为"La Bise"的寒冷北风正在我膝间打转
Trees are crying leaves into the river
树木为叶子掉落河里而哭泣
I'm huddled in this French cafe
我在这法式餐馆里缩成一团
I never thought I'd see the day
从没想过会有这么一天
When winter's here and summer's really over
冬天来了,夏季真的结束了
Even the birds have packed up and gone
鸟儿也都准备好要离开
They're flying south with their song
唱着歌儿向南方飞去
And my love, she too has gone, she had to fly
吾爱,她也要飞走了
Take care, it's such a lonely sky
小心啊,这是寂寞的天空
*They'll trap your wings my love and hold your flight
他们会困住你的翅膀,不让你飞
They'll build a cage and steal your only sky
建造牢笼,偷走你仅有的天空
Fly away, fly to me, fly when the wind is high
飞吧!飞向我,当风扬起时飞吧
I'm sailing beside you in your lonely sky
在寂寞长空里,我就航行在你身边
The old cathedral lights are low
古老的教堂里灯火微明
She and I we'd often go there
我和她常去那儿
To admire and sometimes kneel in prayer
赞美主和有时跪下来祷告
Lords and Ladies lie in stone
主耶稣与圣母的石像
Hand in hand from long ago
从许久以前就手牵着手
And though their hands are cold they'll love forever
尽管双手冰冷却永远相爱
Even the choir rehearses those songs
唱诗班练唱着歌曲
For Christmas is not long
因为圣诞节已经不远
And alone, I sing my song, she had to fly
但我独自唱着,她要飞走了
Out there, it's such a lonely sky,……( * )
这是寂寞的天空……
Fly away, fly to me, and if you need my love
飞啊!飞向我,如果你需要我的爱
I'm sailing beside you in your lonely sky
在寂寞长空里,我就航行在你身边
I'll come in with the dawn
我将随黎明而来
I'm sailing beside you in your lonely sky
在寂寞长空里,我就航行在你身边
On the wings of the morn’
在清晨的羽翼上
I'm sailing beside you in your lonely sky
在寂寞长空里,我就航行在你身边
Above the world we'll be flying
我俩将飞行在世界之上
I'm sailing beside you in your lonely sky
在寂寞长空里,我就航行在你身边
Beautiful Dreams专辑里听得最多的是One More Mile To Go,是专辑里的最后一首,曲调简单优美,在chris饱含希望和祝福的歌声中,合唱声徐徐铺垫,忧伤而宽广,歌词象电影的一幕幕画面,在新年的夜晚,火车上,一个疲惫的游子快要到家了,可能就是那个在边界上离开他的爱人的战士吧,万家灯火,星光闪烁,大雪纷飞,他终于看到离别已久的故乡了,他他隐约看到了爱人在车站痴痴地等他,这是个多么神奇的夜晚,整个世界在为相爱着的人们祈祷,整个世界在为和平祈祷。整首歌像一个美丽的梦境,作为专辑的结尾最确切不过了。
