乐曲欣赏

 
 
 

 

In The Garden 
在花园里 

 
I come to the garden alone
While the dew is still on the roses
And the voice I hear, falling on my ear
The Son of God discloses
And He walks with me
And He talks with me
And He tells me I am His own
And the joy we share as we tarry there
None other has ever known
He speaks and the sound of His voice
Is so sweet the birds hush their singing
And the melody that He gave to me
Within my heart is ringing
And He walks with me
And He talks with me
And He tells me I am His own
And the joy we share as we tarry there
None other has ever known
I'd stay in the garden with Him
'Tho the night around me be falling
But He bids me go; through the voice of woe
His voice to me is calling
And He walks with me
And He talks with me
And He tells me I am His own
And the joy we share as we tarry there
None other has ever known
None other has ever known

      90年代著名的乡村音乐男歌手,他擅长自主创作并演唱歌曲,唱法朴实自然,音乐富有深意,抛开音乐不谈,他谦逊、生气勃勃和平易近人的性格,同样备受歌迷喜爱,这也是他前12年的生涯中便拥有着20多首冠军单曲和更多前十名单曲的重要原因。

 
 Remember when 
 曾几何时

 曾几何时,我年轻过你亦如此
  Remember when I was young and so were you
  时光静止你我除爱别无所知
  And time stood still and love was all we knew
  我之初恋,亦是你的
  You were the first, so was I
  你我缠绵后你潸然泪下
  We made love and then you cried
  曾几何时
  Remember when

  曾几何时,你我山盟海誓怡然漫步
  Remember when we vowed the vows and walked the walk
  心灵相交,共创美好,已然艰辛
  Gave our hearts, made the start, it was hard
  我们经历成长,生活坎坷
  We lived and learned, life threw curves
  有过快乐,有过心酸
  There was joy, there was hurt
  曾几何时
  Remember when


  曾几何时,旧人故去新人坠地
  Remember when old ones died and new were born
  世事变迁,分分合合
  And life was changed, disassembled, rearranged
  你我相聚,散去
  We came together, fell apart
  我们心碎彼此
  And broke each other’s hearts
  曾几何时
  Remember when

  曾几何时,轻轻小脚拍出动人乐曲
  Remember when the sound of little feet was the music
  周复一周你我随舞
  We danced to week to week
  重燃爱火,找到信任
  Brought back the love, we found trust
  承诺我们永不放弃
  Vowed we’d never give it up
  曾几何时
  Remember when

  曾几何时,而立之年觉老
  Remember when thirty seemed old
  如今回首,不过垫脚坚石
  Now lookin’ back, it’s just a steppin’ stone
  曾经步步攀登终修得此
  To where we are where we’ve been
  说过你我总能重来
  Said we’d do it all again
  曾几何时
  Remember when

  曾几何时,我们设想你我白发之时
  Remember when we said when we turned gray
  子女长大离巢之时
  When the children grow up and move away
  我们不会伤感,你我欣然
  We won’t be sad, we’ll be glad
  只因与你厮守此生
  For all the life we’ve had
  我们忆起曾几何时
  And we’ll remember when
  曾几何时
  Remember when
  曾几何时  
 

 
 Where Were You (When The World Stopped Turning)
当世界停止旋转时,你在那里


on that September day
当世界在九月的那个日子停止旋转 你在何处
Were you in the yard with your wife and children
你是否在院子里陪伴着妻子和孩子
Or working on some stage in L.A.
还是在洛杉基的某个舞台上表演
Did you stand there in shock at the sight of that black smoke 
你是否站在那里被深深地震惊 浓浓黑烟四起
Rising against that blue sky
直至遮住那湛蓝的天空
Did you shout out in anger, in fear for your neighbor
你有否大声惊呼 有否担心着你的邻居
Or did you just sit down and cry
或者坐下悲极而泣
Did you weep for the children who lost their dear loved ones
你是否因你的孩子们失去他们某个所爱的人而落泪
And pray for the ones who don\'t know
或者为你所不认识的人而祈祷
Did you rejoice for the people who walked from the rubble
你是否为从碎石中走出的人们而感到喜悦
And sob for the ones left below
为那些永远留在瓦砾中的人而呜咽
Did you burst out in pride for the red, white and blue
你是否为飘扬着的旗帜而感到自豪
And the heroes who died just doin\' what they do
那些英雄们因为救助他人而牺牲
Did you look up to heaven for some kind of answer
你是否抬起头凝望天空寻找答案
And look at yourself and what really matters
又看看自己 考虑生命的真谛
Chorus:
I'm just a singer of simple songs
我只是一个歌手 唱着简单的歌
I'm not a real political man
我不是一个政客
I watch CNN but I\'m not sure I could
我看着有线新闻网 束手无策
Tell you the difference in Iraq and Iran
我不知道国与国之间到底有什么不同
But I know Jesus and I talk to God
但我知道可以与神灵对话
And I remember this from when I was young
那是在我很小时就记得了这些
Faith, hope and love are some good things He gave us
我们获得了信念、希望和爱 在这些好东西中
And the greatest is love
爱是最珍贵的
Verse:
Where were you when the world stop turning on that September day
当世界九月的那个日子停止旋转 你在何处
Teaching a class full of innocent children
你正教着那些无辜的孩子们
Or driving down some cold interstate
还是正驾驶在寒冷的州际公路上
Did you feel guilty \'cause you\'re a survivor
你是否为自己是一个幸存者而感到过内疚
In a crowded room did you feel alone
在挤满人的屋子里却仍感到孤寂无比
Did you call up your mother and tell her you loved her

Did you dust off that Bible at home
或者在家中默默地开始祈祷
Did you open your eyes, hope it never happened
你是否争开双眼希望什么都没发生
And you close your eyes and not go to sleep
或者闭上双眼却无法入睡
Did you notice the sunset the first time in ages
你是否在漫长的年代中第一次注意到日落
Or speak to some stranger on the street
或者同街上陌生的人们开始谈话
Did you lay down at night and think of tomorrow
你是否有过彻夜难眠担心着第二天
Go out and buy you a gun
或为自己的安全着想
Did you turn off that violent old movie you\'re watchin\'
你是否因为那些暴力的场面而关上了电视
And turn on "I Love Lucy" reruns
或者再次转向那些过了时的肥皂剧
Did you go to a church and hold hands with some strangers
你是否开始在教堂和不认识的人握手
Stand in line and give your own blood
站在那里献出自己的鲜血
Did you just stay home and cling tight to your family
或者呆在家中享受着团聚的温馨
Thank God you had somebody to love 
感谢上苍 你拥有你所爱的人

The Angels Cried 
天使哭了 

演唱:阿兰.杰克逊&艾莉森.克劳斯

 
两大乡村巨星的音乐结晶。
醉人的吉他,凄美的小提琴旋律,
细腻的音色,淡淡的忧伤,
充满着动人的乡村蓝草气息  ……  


 

The Angels Cried
天使哭了

They came from near
They came from far
Following a distant star
To where he lay

Not being sure of what it meant
but knowing it was heaven sent
they made their way

And the creatures gathered round
And didn't make a sound
And the angels cried

The angels knew what was to come
The reason god had sent his son from up above
It filled their hearts with joy to see
And knowing of his destiny
Came tears of love

And the creatures gathered round
And didn't make a sound
And the angels cried

I've often thought about that night
And wondered if they realize that star so bright
Was sent to tell all of them the son of god would soon become
The son of man

And the creatures gathered round
And didn't make a sound
And the angels cried
And the angels cried
And the angels cried 

他们从近处传来
他们从远处飘来
一颗遥远的星辰
来到他的面前

不明了那到底意味着什么
但是知道那来自天国
他们就这样来了

造物们聚集到一起
静静地听
然后天使哭了

天使知道有什么要发生
因为上帝让他的儿子降临人世
他们的心里充满了欢喜
一想到他将来的命运
不禁流下爱的泪水

造物们聚集到一起
静静地听
然后天使哭了

我常常想起那个夜晚
我在想他们是否明白那颗星的光芒
是为了告诉世人 神的儿子即将成为人类之子

造物们聚集到一起
静静地听
然后天使哭了
天使哭了
天使哭了
