Season In The Sun-Nirvana涅槃

Nirvana

也许我们都听惯了West Life充满阳光的“Season In The Sun”,而我更喜欢Nirvana演绎的“Season In The Sun”,好像什么歌曲经由涅槃演绎都会带上颓废的感觉。
事实上,“Seasons in the Sun”绝对不是一首愉快的曲子,甚至还十分的伤感。它是一位法国歌手Jacques Brel的作品,原名叫做“Le Moribond”(将死的人),发表于1961年。歌曲的内容大致描述一个罹患癌症、不久于人世的男子,在面临死亡的时候,对父亲、妻子以及挚友的依依难舍。Brel谱写这首歌曲,可说是有感而发,因为他当时发觉自己罹患了癌症。在跟病魔搏斗十多年之后,他于1978年十月九日病逝,得年四十九岁。

跟Brel私交相当不错的美国诗人歌手Rod McKuen,很早就把这首歌曲翻译成英文的“Seasons in the Sun”,并且在1964年由民歌界元老的Kingston Trio率先灌录成唱片,不过当时并没有造成太大的轰动。后来,跟Rod McKuen颇有交情的Terry Jacks把它重新灌录,在1974年的三月二日获得全美排行三周冠军,原本也没有在我国受到太多注意,直到几年之后,才因为柯达的广告而在台湾造成了疯狂的流行,只可惜主唱人Terry Jacks当时早就在歌坛消失了。这位男歌手留下来的歌曲并不多,不过这首歌却成了经典——尽管他的诠释老实说有点失真。(网络整理)

英文歌词:
Goodbye my friend its hard to die
when all the birds are singing in the sky
And all the flowers are everywhere
Pretty girls are everywhere
Think of me and I'll be there

Goodbye, Papa, please pray for me.
I was the black sheep of the family.
And I don't know the ... all these words.
I have boggy turds.
With my B.B. gun I would kill birds.

We had joy. We had fun.
We had seasons in the sun,
but the hills that we climb
were just seasons out of time.

All our lives, we had fun.
We had seasons in the sun,
but the hill that we reached
were just starfish on the beach

Goodbye Michelle my little one
I was the apple of the shiny sun.
And la la la la hill we reach.
All my tears are salty.
I think now I will start to read.

We had joy. We had fun.
We had seasons in the sun,
but the hills that we climb
were just seasons out of time.

We had joy. We had fun.
We had seasons in the sun,
but the hill on the beach
were just starfish on the beach

We had joy. We had fun.
We had seasons in the sun,
but the hills that we climb
were just seasons out of time.

I've had joy. We had fun.
We had seasons in the sun,
but the stars that we reached
were just starfish on the beach
