很喜欢chris de burgh的last night,激昂而流畅的旋律,却渗透了深深的悲哀和无法抑制的愤怒,歌词是分两部分,前一段是描写一群从战场上回来的战士,在酒吧狂欢,女孩和美酒与他们相伴,他们的心中充满了骄傲和自信,因为他们胜利了,他们是英雄。第二段是“我”在街上独自行走,远离了所有音乐与女孩,我看到街上站着一个黑衣女人和一位士兵,他们默默地站在那里,手里捧着一张年轻人的照片,突然女人开始哭泣,为一个永远无法从战场上回来的孩子,为那些永远无法从战场上回来的孩子们。。。
Last Night
Last night I was walking through the harbour,
Where the fishing boats are lying on the shore,
The news had travelled fast and everyone went to be,
Where the mayor was making a speech,
And the crowd started cheering,
When he talked about the glory of it all,
And the boys coming home from the war;
Last night, they were dancing in the streets,
And making music in the alleyways and bars,
From a house down in the old town came the sound of guitars,
Margarita was waiting inside,
With her long black hair hanging down beneath the red light,
And she smiled, for the boys coming home from the war,
The boys coming home from the war;
And they said we were heroes, they said we were fine,
We were kings in command, we had God on our side,
And we said "nothing will make us change in any way,
Since yesterday - we're just the same,
Since yesterday - nothing has changed,
Since yesterday - we're just the same,"
But I can feel there's a new kind of hunger inside,
To be satisfied, I saw it there last night;
Last night I was walking through the shadows,
Far away from all the music and the girls,
When I saw a soldier waiting with a woman in black,
And they stood without any word,
Just staring at a photograph of someone, and she began to cry,
For a boy left behind in the war,
Some boy left behind in the war;
And they said we were heroes, they said we were fine,
We were kings in command, we had God on our side,
And we said "nothing will make us change in any way,
Since yesterday - we're just the same,
Since yesterday - nothing has changed,
Since yesterday - we're just the same,"
But I can feel there's this new kind of hunger inside,
To be satisfied, I saw it there last night... |
