Every day here you come walking
-------------1---------------
You say you're happy and you're doin' fine
Well go ahead, baby, I got plenty of time
Sad eyes never lie
Sad eyes never lie
Well for a while I've been watching you steady
Ain't gonna move 'til you're good and ready
-------------2---------------
But I know pretty soon you'll be walkin' this way
Sad eyes never lie
Sad eyes never lie
Baby don't you know I don't care
Don't you know that I've been there
Well if something in the air feels a little unkind
Don't worry darling, it'll slip your mind (请翻译)
I know you think you'd never be mine
Well that's okay, baby, I don't mind
that shy smile's sweet, that's a fact
Go ahead, I don't mind the act
Here you come all dressed up for a date
Well one more step and it'll be too late
Blue blue ribbon in you hair
-------------3---------------
Sad eyes never lie
Sad eyes never lie
Sad eyes never lie
Sad Eyes,这首歌的词作者是Bruce Springsteen,这位70年代大红大紫的,来自新泽西州费里霍尔德的歌手,同样的这首歌是他很多好听作品中的一首。2001年Neal
Coty也翻唱了这首歌,并收录在了Legacy专辑中。也在不久的之后,拉丁音乐,现今大红大紫的Enrique Iglesias也将他翻唱,不同的风格同样所表现出来的深邃的情感让人百听不厌,可以说明这的确是首值得一听的好歌。
音乐扫盲:
乡村音乐原为美国乡土音乐,目前流行于全世界,过去曾被叫做民间音乐、旧式音乐、山地音乐、乡村与西部歌曲等。小提琴手埃克·罗伯逊(Eck Robertson)和亨利·吉利恩德(Henry
Gilliand)于1922年6月间在纽约市为Victor唱片公司录音(后来才得以出版)。来自佐治亚州的“詹金斯家族”(Jenkins Family)是一个福音演唱组,同年第一次在亚特兰大的广播中亮相。拉尔夫·皮尔(Ralph
Peer)1923年也是在亚特兰大为一个兼卖唱片的家具商录制了一首“旧式”音乐,获得了意想不到的成功。歌剧/客厅演唱艺人弗农·达尔哈特(Vernon Dalhart)1925年表演的《1997年惨案》(Wreck
of the Old 97’)、《囚徒之歌》(The Prisoner's Song)使其恢复演唱流行讽刺歌曲,并在很多家唱片公司录音,卖出上万张。同时,“事件”歌曲、牛仔歌曲、伤感的情歌等等现在几乎都被遗忘干净了。
