Father and son父親與兒子用歌聲爭論-父親節英語歌曲推薦


 

0



Cat Stevens凱特·斯蒂文斯是英國民謠搖滾的代表人物,聽Cat Stevens的歌讓人安寧,他就好像在你耳邊述說這個世界關於愛的故事。在這首《父與子》中,Cat Stevens一人分唱兩角,唱父親的歌的時候歌聲里傳遞了父親對孩子的勸告,唱孩子的時候,聲調突然升高,表達了孩子對父親的反駁。一平靜一激昂,就這樣在一首歌中爭論。


 



father:(表示下面一段是父 
  It's not time to make a change 現在還不是做出改變的時候
Just relax--take it easy 請放松點吧,別緊張
You're still young--that's your fault 你還是太年輕了,那是你的命門
There's so much you have to know 你需要學習的東西還很多
Find a girl, settle down 找個女孩安定下來,不再浪跡天涯
If you want, you can marry 如果你想,那么你可以步入婚姻的殿堂
Look at me--I am old 看着我,我已逐漸老去
But I'm happy 但我卻很活得很開心
I was once like you are now 我也曾像你這樣年輕過
And I know that it's not easy 而且我知道那并不容易
To calm when you've found 當你發覺外頭有些奇妙的事情時
Something going on 務必保持冷靜
But take your time--think a lot 凡事三思而后行
Think of everthing you've got 思考你所擁有的一切
For you will still be here tomorrow 因為明天你的人依然會在這兒
But your dreams may not... 而你的夢想卻并非如此…… (即做出改變必須謹慎,是否值得為夢想而失去現在所擁有的東西)

son:(下面是子的回答)
How can I try to explain? 我該怎么和你解釋呢?
When I do--it turns away again 事實總是和意願背道而馳
And it's always been the same 曆史不斷犯着相似的錯誤
Same old story 同樣的故事正在發生
From the moment I could talk 那我能夠說話的那一刻起
I was ordered to listen 我就被要求必須傾聽
Now there's a way, and I know 現在,路在眼前,我知道
That I have to go away 我必須要走了(即兒子要離開父親的庇護,獨自去闖蕩)
I know, I have to go... 是的,我必須走……

father::(父
It's not time to make a change 現在還不是做出改變的時候
Just sit down 請坐下
and take it slowly 慢慢去找出解決的辦法
You're still young--that's your fault 你還是太年輕了,那是你的缺點
There's so much you have to go through 你還需要經曆更多風雨的洗禮
Find a girl, settle down 找個女孩安定下來,不再居無定所
If you want, you can marry 如果你想,那么你可以享受婚姻的幸福
Look at me--I am old 看着我,我已垂垂老矣
But I'm happy 但我依然開心

son:(子的回答)
All the times, that I've cried 每次當我淚流的時候
Keeping all the things I knew inside 我都將這一切深藏心底(指自己的理想和抱負)
And it's hard 這是很不容易的
But it's harder to ignore it 但更難的是要對它視而不見
If they were right--I'd agree我承認,有時候別人的生活是對的
But it's them--they know 但那是別人,是他們追求的生活
Not me. Now there's a way, and I know 不是我,現在我知道該怎么做了
That I have to go away 我會離開你的生活,自己去闖蕩
I know, I have to go. 是的,我該走了……
