馬年第一首歌,有些疏離,與政治無關... 遠方的心情寫照,慵懶又振奮,夢幻又真實... 

今天推薦 America:A Horse With No Name (1972) 

...

對一個不太懂得吃也不太懂得玩,甚至不太懂得"說"的人而言,過年是有罪惡感的... 我努力跟上某種普天同慶的心情,卻跟不上吃喝玩樂的腳步;期待某種溫馨團聚,卻擋不住這種期待下的無言,甚至覺得辜負了某種慶祝熱情... 也許這是我的問題,總會在人群的歡樂中不知所措... 

朋友笑說:"你的臉書好不生活喔,都沒看到你在做的事,只看到你的部落格"。我無言,心想:"我的生活都在我的部落格裡呀..." 

 

 

On the first part of the journey    在旅程的開始 
I was looking at all the life    我關注生命的全部 
There were plants and birds and rocks and things    那些植物鳥獸和岩石之類的東西 
There was sand and hills and rings    還有塵土和山丘 
The first thing I met was a fly with a buzz    和一隻嗡嗡響的蒼蠅
And the sky with no clouds    天空萬里無雲
The heat was hot and the ground was dry    大地乾燥炎熱 
But the air was full of sound    但空氣中充滿了生命的聲音

*I've been through the desert on a horse with no name    我在沙漠中騎著一匹無名馬 
It felt good to be out of the rain    在雨中快樂奔馳著
In the desert you can remember your name    在沙漠裡  你會記得自己的名字  
'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain    因為沒有人會帶給你痛苦
La...

After two days in the desert sun    在沙漠的太陽下過了兩天 
My skin began to turn red    我的皮膚發熱變紅
After three days in the desert fun    沙漠的第三天 
I was looking at a river bed    我發現一個河床
And the story it told of a river that flowed    訴說著過去的故事
Made me sad to think it was dead    我為它的死去而難過

After nine days I let the horse run free    第九天  我把這匹馬放了
'Cause the desert had turned to sea    因為沙漠已經變成海洋
There were plants and birds and rocks and things    仍有著植物鳥獸和岩石
there was sand and hills and rings    以及塵土和山丘
The ocean is a desert with it's life underground    海洋是生命最底層的沙漠
And a perfect disguise above    上面覆蓋了美好的偽裝
Under the cities lies a heart made of ground    城市的底層是一顆堅硬質樸的心
But the humans will give no love    但人們已不願付出愛
