Little Lou, Ugly Jack, Prophet John - Belle & Sebastian

莫 西 顾:

       这首《Little Lou, Ugly Jack, Prophet John》选自苏格兰独立乐团Blle&Sebastian的专辑《Write About Love》,歌曲中合作的女声是获得过9项格莱美大奖的Norah Jones,不过Blle&Sebastian在整个90年代就早已是享誉世界的乐团。

       以前没有接触过Blle&Sebastian,不过从他们的一些歌曲名称可以看出来,是一个非常有想法的乐队。这首《Little Lou, Ugly Jack, Prophet John》没有采用太过复杂的编曲,但是整首歌的那种爵士小节奏,加上轻松的一点乡村风格,是一首让人会很舒服的歌曲。


歌词:


Stuart:]
What a waste, I could've been your lover
多么可惜,我本可以成为你的爱人
What a waste, I could've been your friend
多么可惜,我本可以成为你的朋友
Perfect love is like a blossom that fades so quick
When it's blowing up a storm in May
在五月的暴雨中完美的爱情像盛开的鲜花,却如此快速地凋谢
Travel south until your skin turns, woman
去南方旅行吧直到你的肌肤变得温暖
Travel south until your skin turns brown
去南方旅行直到你的肌肤变成褐色
Put a language in your head and get on a train
在脑中排练好你的语言,然后乘上一列火车
And then come back to the one you love
回到你爱的人身边
[Norah:]
Yeah you're great, you're just part of this lifetime of dreaming
是的你很好,你是我梦幻人生中的一部分
That extends to the heart of this long summer feeling
这漫长夏季的感觉已经蔓延遍我的心灵
Quiet night, you see the tv's glowing
安静的夜,你看着电视的光闪烁
Quiet night, you hear the walls are awake
安静的夜,你听见那些墙的苏醒
Being you I'm getting out of a party crowd
如果我是你,我会挤出派对的人群
Can I see what's underneath your bed?
能否让我看一下你的床底?
Can I stay until the milkman's working?
能否让我留下直到那个送奶的人工作?
Can I stay until the coffee awakes?
能否让我留下直到咖啡屋开工?
[Together:]
Do you hate me in the light?
Did you get a fright?
When you looked across from where you lay
当你看着你曾趟过的地方时
你是否会恨光芒中的我?你是否会害怕?
Yeah you're great, you're just part of this lifetime of dreaming
是的你很好,你是我梦幻人生中的一部分
That extends to the heart of this long summer feeling
这漫长夏季的感觉已经蔓延遍我的心灵
All the history of wars I invent in my head
所有那些被我邀请至脑海中的战争的回忆
Little Lou, Ugly Jack, Prophet John
小小的Lou,丑丑的Jack,先知者John
All the history of wars I invent in my head
所有那些被我邀请至脑海中的战争的回忆
Little Lou, Ugly Jack, Prophet John
小小的Lou,丑丑的Jack,先知者John
[Stuart:]
What a waste, I could've been your lover
多么可惜,我本可以成为你的爱人
[Norah:]
What a waste, I could've been your friend
多么可惜,我本可以成为你的朋友
