Riverside Agnes Obel
歌词:
Down by the river by the boats
Where everybody goes to be alone
Where you wont see any rising sun
Down to the river we will run
When by the water we drink to the dregs
Look at the stones on the river bed
I can tell from your eyes
You've never been by the riverside
Down by the water the riverbed
Somebody calls you somebody says
swim with the current and float away
Down by the river everyday
Oh my God I see how everything is torn in the river deep
And I don't know why I go the way
Down by the riverside
When that old river runs pass your eyes
To wash off the dirt on the riverside
Go to the water so very near
The river will be your eyes and ears
I walk to the borders on my own
To fall in the water just like a stone
Chilled to the marrow in them bones
Why do I go here all alone
Oh my God I see how everything is torn in the river deep
And I don't know why I go the way
Down by the riverside
在河岸上那一叶小舟旁
那地方人人要孤独前往
看不到冉冉升起的红日
我们就沿着这河岸恣意奔跑
在岸边我们曾享尽欢乐
看那躺在河床上安详的石子
我从你眼神中就能看清
你从未来到过这河之岸
沉入水下躺在这宽厚的河床
有人呼唤有人窃窃私语
随波逐流直至漂流无踪
河岸旁每日有故事上演
哦 上帝 我知道万物如何在河水深处被撕碎
但我并不明了 为何我要踏上如此征程
就在那河之岸
古老的河流在你眼中流淌
冲刷掉河岸边的尘与土
请你紧紧地贴近那河水
此时河水便助你视听
独自来到那河的边缘
石头一般坠入河之中
河水寒冷彻骨
缘何我独自来到这河之岸
哦 上帝 我知道万物如何在河水深处被撕碎
但我并不明了 为何我要踏上如此征程
在那空寂的河之岸
哦 上帝 我知道万物如何在河水深处被撕碎
但我并不明了 为何我要踏上如此征程
就在那空寂的河之岸
推荐理由:
丹麦民谣歌手Agnes Obel于2010年发行的这首成名曲,大家应该听过它的旋律,毕竟在很多影视作品里都出现过。空灵而优美的钢琴伴奏,引入不带烟火气的女声,低沉、舒缓、忧伤。值得一提的是如诗的歌词,看了好几个中文翻译版本感觉都各有缺憾,这一版翻译和我个人的理解比较切合,约摸是歌曲在表达着生与死这一人类永恒的主题吧,与MV中的意境也比较接近。不得不说,北欧地区真的有很多宝藏音乐人。
