[2006-9-5]送恋斑Paul Simon保罗西蒙__,辛苦了






《GRACELAND》是保罗西蒙离开“西蒙和加芬克尔”
组合后推出的第3张专辑中的同名歌曲，这张唱片
的特点是具有强烈的“世界音乐”特色，西蒙将
传统的西方流行音乐和南非祖鲁族的民歌结合。
创造出了一种具有强烈特色的音乐感觉。混重、自然、
奔放、内省是它给人们带来的感觉。《GRACELAND》
1986和1987年连续2次被美国音响协会评为年度最佳
录音，并获得的多项格莱美奖!





Graceland

Paul Simon


The Mississippi Delta was shining
Like a National guitar
I am following the river
Down the highway
Through the cradle of the civil war
I’m going to Graceland
Graceland
In Memphis Tennessee
I’m going to Graceland
Poorboys and Pilgrims with families
And we are going to Graceland
My traveling companion is nine years old
He is the child of my first marriage
But I’ve reason to believe
We both will be recieved
In Graceland

She comes back to tell me she’s gone
As if I didn’t know that
As if I didn’t know my own bed
As id I’d never noticed
The way she brushed her hair from her forehead
And she said losing love
Is like a window in your heart
Everybody sees you’re blown apart
Everybody sees the wind blow

I’m going to Graceland
Graceland
In Memphis Tennessee
I’m going to Graceland
Poorboys and Pilgrims with families
And we are going to Graceland
And my traveling companions
Are ghosts and empty sockets
I’m looking at ghosts and empties
But I’ve reason to believe
We will all be recieved
In Graceland

There is a girl in New York City
Who calls herself the human trampoline
And sometimes when I’m falling, flying
Or tumbling in turmoil I say
Oh, so this is what she means
She means we’re bouncing into Graceland
And I see losing love
Is like a window in your heart
Everybody sees you’re blown apart
Everybody feels the wind blow

In Graceland, in Graceland
I’m going to Graceland
For reasons I cannot explain
There’s some part of me wants to see Graceland
And I may be oblidged to defend
Every love, every ending
Or maybe there’s no obligations now
Maybe I’ve reason to believe
We will all be recieved
In Graceland
