Dolly Parton - Coat of Many Colors
人只有明白了肉体生活的脆弱和不幸，才会明白爱所赋予他的全部幸福。 ---托尔斯泰《生活之路》
谢谢tieshi 同学的推荐。《Coat of Many Colors》，美国乡村音乐的超级巨星Dolly Parton最经典的一张专辑，同名歌曲是她本人最喜欢的一首原创歌曲，唱述了她童年那贫穷却充实的生活，她告诉大家，即使穿得衣衫褴褛，也不能放弃自己的尊严。这是个真实的故事。
妈妈为她用不同颜色的布做了一件外套，当她穿到学校的时候受到别人的取笑。
但她自豪的告诉他们，这是妈妈做的，为她专门做的。
即使是贫穷也是富有，因为有妈妈的爱和祝福。
几年前，Dolly Parton还在一家酒吧还曾为故去的父亲深情地唱起这首催人泪下的《斑驳的外套》(Coat of Many Colors)。当时，不仅Parton哭了，乐队哭了，台下的听众也被感动得热泪盈眶。
这首歌曾登上美国乡村音乐排行榜第4位。专辑在 2003年入选滚石杂志评出的500张历代最强专辑，排名第299位，在2006年还入选了时代杂志评出的百张最经典专辑。
没有人能否认，Dolly 是乡村乐坛有史以来最富创造力的女歌手，就连男性也自叹不如：超过五十张的畅销专辑，二十二首乡村排行冠军歌曲，十张金唱片与白金唱片销售纪录，多次葛莱美奖得主，使这位杰出女性的名字几乎成为乡村乐最著名艺人的代名词。（网络整理）
静静感受这段旋律和歌词吧，那种叫做温暖和爱的东西！
试听：Dolly Parton - Coat of Many Colors
歌词：
Back through the years
I go wonderin once again
Back to the seasons of my youth
I recall a box of rags that someone gave us
And how my momma put the rags to use
There were rags of many colors
Every piece was small
And I didnt have a coat
And it was way down in the fall
Momma sewed the rags together
Sewin every piece with love
She made my coat of many colors
That I was so proud of
As she sewed, she told a story
From the bible, she had read
About a coat of many colors
Joseph wore and then she said
Perhaps this coat will bring you
Good luck and happiness
And I just couldnt wait to wear it
And momma blessed it with a kiss
Chorus:
My coat of many colors
That my momma made for me
Made only from rags
But I wore it so proudly
Although we had no money
I was rich as I could be
In my coat of many colors
My momma made for me
So with patches on my britches
Holes in both my shoes
In my coat of many colors
I hurried off to school
Just to find the others laughing
And making fun of me
In my coat of many colors
My momma made for me
And oh I couldnt understand it
For I felt I was rich
And I told them of the love
My momma sewed in every stitch
And I told em all the story
Momma told me while she sewed
And how my coat of many colors
Was worth more than all their clothes
But they didnt understand it
And I tried to make them see
That one is only poor
Only if they choose to be
Now I know we had no money
But I was rich as I could be
In my coat of many colors
My momma made for me
Made just for me
这段时候，老鬼的都是托尔斯泰的语句。。
神情默默
克隆羊Dolly的缔造者Ian Wilmut就是Dolly Parton的Fans之一，所以他把这只由乳腺细胞克隆出的绵羊命名为Dolly。
虽然没有这种经历~~想起来也会觉得....有一种特别的感觉吧~~
一边听着歌，一旁的爸爸说：“这是我们大学时就听的歌。”
充满亲情的歌曲！
{为故去的父亲深情地唱起这首催人泪下的《斑驳的外套》(Coat of Many Colors)。}
不是赞妈妈的么？
Now I know we had no money
But I was rich as I could be
In my coat of many colors
My momma made for me
Made just for me
===说的就是我啊。。。从小到大 所有的毛衣都是妈妈织的～
怀念
为了托尔斯泰的那句诗发个言....
嗯，歌词很好~
歌曲有种淡淡的感伤，却很轻快·······
歌词错了，第二行的“Wonderin”应为“Wondering”
歌词很钉人 声线很委婉
为什么手机下载不了啊，郁闷啊
