最喜欢这首《Five Hundred Miles 》,美国南方山林地带的音乐,被称为“山地民谣”。通常它的乐调简朴,词义平易近人,加上浓郁的乡土气息,使人有一种莫名的舒适与亲切感。而其中最为出类拔萃的就是“四兄弟合唱组”The Brothers Four。本曲是他们的作品当中最广为流传的一首《离家五百里》。
《Five Hundred Miles》歌词:
If you miss the train I'm on,
You will know that I am gone,
You can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles.
A hundred miles, a hundred miles,
A hundred miles, A hundred miles,
You can hear the whistle blow A hundred miles.
Lord, I'm one, Lord, I'm two, Lord,
I'm three, Lord, I'm four, Lord,
I'm five hundred miles a way from home.
Away from home, away from home,
away from home, away from home,
Lord, I'm five hundred miles away from home
Not a shirt on my back, *(1)
Not a penny to my name. *(2)
Lord, I can't go back home this-a way.
This-a way, this-a way,
This-a way, this-a way,
Lord, I can't go back home this-a way.
If you miss the train I'm on,
You will know that I am gone,
You can hear the whistle blow A hundred miles.
A hundred miles, A hundred miles,
A hundred miles, A hundred miles,
You can hear the whistle blow A hundred miles.
