vol. 28 let there be love
我们可以用很多方法来描述爱情,尤其是浪漫的爱情,甚至在歌词中都可以不出现love这个字眼(或者到最后才出现——last but not the least)。请参看let there be love的歌词,虽然言简意赅,但也许那就一场浪漫的婚礼吧。
貌似很多听爵士的人都不怎么待见laura fygi,虽然被誉为荷兰国宝级歌手,但是在很多资深乐迷的心中,她也就是个比较活泼的流行歌手而已。
我觉得这个歌词已经是今天我想说的全部。ps,本来还想翻译歌词的,后来搜索到这个同学的blogbus有对这首歌的一个很有趣的注解:
Let there be...是圣经创世纪开头,神用得比较多的句式,比如说:
1:3 神说,要有光,就有了光。
And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
1:6 神说,诸水之间要有空气,将水分为上下。
And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.
1:14 神说,天上要有光体,可以分昼夜,作记号,定节令,日子,年岁。
And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years:用在情歌里却显得有一点顽皮。歌者唱道:要有你,要有我,海底要有牡蛎,要有风,偶尔来点小雨,再有墨西哥牛肉和闪着光的香槟;林间要有小鸟唱歌,要有人在我打喷嚏的时候祝福我,要有一只杜鹃,一只云雀,一只鸽子,但是首先,要有爱。那么多的意象都是催情的东西,只是,唯有牡蛎,我不太理解,是不是西方人觉得牡蛎也是一种催情的美食?
(我也不明白牡蛎放在这里干嘛)
let there be you
let there be me
let there be oysters
under the sealet there be wind
an occassional rain
chile con carne
sparkling champagnelet there be birds
to sing in the trees
someone to bless me
whenever i sneezelet there be cuckoos
a lark and a dove
but first of all, please
let there be lovelet there be cuckoos
a lark and a dove
but first of all, please
let there be love
muh love
muh love
let there be love
laura fygi - let there be love
