[22/6/2010]【祝贺曼尔】The Carpenters《Jambalaya(On The Bayou)》







这首《Jambalaya(On The Bayou)》由美国著名乡村音乐歌手Hank Williams首唱,取材于以前在加拿大的法国殖民者的后裔、后来居住在美国、被称为Cajun的族群的一首法语民歌。这首歌发行于1952年,获得了美国乡村榜的第一,而第二年Hank Williams就过世了。这首歌后来被许多人翻唱过,一些翻唱版本比原版还要流行,毕竟有许多人对乡村音乐并不是很喜欢,所以那些流行歌曲版可能知道的人更多一些,像中国听众可能都会听过The Carpenters的版本。






Good bye,Joe,he gotta go,
me oh my-oh,he gotta go
pole the pirogue down the bayou
His Yvonne,the sweetest one,
me oh my-oh,son-of-a-gun,
we’ll have big fun on the bayou
Thibodaux,Fontaineaux,
the place is buzzing,
Kinfolk come to see Yvonne by the dozen,
Dressed in style,the go hog wild,
me oh my-oh,son-of-a-gun,
we’ll have big fun on the bayou
Jambalaya,Crawfish pie,
fillet gumbo
For toninght I’m gotta see my cherami-o.
pick guitar,
fill fruit jar and be gay-o,
son -of-a-gun,
we’ll have big fun on the bayou
Settle down far from town,
get him a pirogue,
and he will catch you all the fish in the bayou,
Swapped his mom to buy Yvonne what she need-o.
Son-of-a-gun,
We’ll have big fun one the bayou.
