大家好,這裡是曲中人音樂大賞,今天我們要欣賞的歌曲是《Moonlight Shadow》
Moonlight Shadow,是為紀念甲殼蟲樂隊(The Beatles)被槍殺的主唱約翰·列儂(John Lennon)而作。
1980年12月8日,馬克·查普曼偽裝成一個歌迷,在列儂的公寓旁邊徘徊了很久。那天晚上,當列儂從錄音棚返回家中的時候,查普曼請列儂在他的簽字本上簽名。當時他內心曾進行過激烈的鬥爭,但最後仍然舉起手槍朝著列儂的後背連開了4槍。 和Moonlight Shadow中所寫的He was shot six times by a man on the run類似。但看了原版的MTV之後,這首歌應該和John Lennon的被刺並沒有直接聯繫,似乎男主角死於一場決鬥中,這倒象是普希金。
《Moonlight Shadow》(直譯為“月光下的影子”)是一首由多樂器演奏家邁克·歐菲爾德譜寫和演奏的英語流行歌曲,歌曲發行於1983年5月,並收錄於同年發售的專輯《Crises》中。歌曲人聲由邁克·歐菲爾德和於1980年相識的蘇格蘭歌手瑪姬·賴利錄製。這是歐菲爾德最成功的單曲,其排到了歐洲多個排行榜榜首。
Moonlight Shadow(歌詞)
The last that ever she saw him
她最後一次看到他時候
carried away by a moonlight shadow
沉浸在月影中
He passed on worried and warning
他表現出憂慮和警告
carried away by a moonlight shadow
沉浸在月影中
Lost in a riddle that Saturday night
消失在那個星期六晚上
far away on the other side
就在河遠遠的另一岸
he was caught in the middle of a desperate fight
他捲入了一場爭鬥
and she couldn't find how to push through
而她不知如何是好
The trees that whisper in the evening
夜晚樹林低語
carried away by a moonlight shadow
沉浸在月影中
Sing a song of sorrow and grieving
唱著哀傷苦惱之歌
carried away by a moonlight shadow
沉浸在月影中
All she saw was a silhouette of a gun
她只目睹那把槍的輪廓
far away on the other side
就在河遠遠的另一岸
He was shot six times by a man on the run
一個男人在逃跑中對他連開了六槍。
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 期望能在遙遠的天堂再次見到你
I stay I pray see you in heaven one day
我站著不動 我祈求 期望有一天能在天堂再次見到你
Four a m in the morning
早上四點時
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顯現
carried away by a moonlight shadow
沉浸在月影中
Stars move slowly in the silvery night
在銀色的夜晚中星星放慢了移動速度
far away on the other side
就在河遠遠的另一岸
Will you come to talk to me this night
今晚你會來和我說話嗎
but she couldn't find how to push through
今晚你會來和我說話嗎
I stay I pray see you in heaven far away
我留在原地 我祈求 期望能在遙遠的天堂再次見到你
I stay I pray see you in heaven one day
我站著不動 我祈求 期望有一天能在天堂再次見到你
Caught in the middle of a hundred and five
他捲入了一場爭鬥
The night was heavy and the air was alive
那晚夜色凝重空氣里人聲嘈嘈
But she couldn't find how to push through
但是她不知道怎麼才能繼續下去
Far away on the other side
就在河遠遠的另一岸
The night was heavy and the air was alive
那晚夜色凝重空氣里人聲嘈嘈
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
