Bernny:“Why Worry” – 我喜欢的英国乐队“Dire Straight” Mark Knopfler 的一首歌。
Baby I see this world has made you sad
Some people can be bad
The things they do, the things they say
But baby I’ll wipe away those bitter tears
I’ll chase away those restless fears
That turn your blue skies into grey
Why worry, there should be laughter after the pain
There should be sunshine after rain
These things have always been the same
So why worry now
Baby when I get down I turn to you
And you make sense of what I do
I know it isn’t hard to say
But baby just when this world seems mean and cold
Our love comes shining red and gold
And all the rest is by the way
Why worry, there should be laughter after pain
There should be sunshine after rain
These things have always been the same
So why worry now
桥人:昨天读到一首新西兰诗人Brian Potiki写的诗,其中有一句:your love like rain on a green leaf。美而忧伤的。也许很多西方诗人在描写爱情时,也爱用“悲剧”手法。
Portia : 哦,这很美,很有诗意,可我并没有忧伤的感觉啊。爱是很delicate 的,这让我想起一首很有名的英文歌曲 – John Denver的《安妮之歌》(Annie’s Song), 里面的歌词也有这种诗意。
“You fill up my senses
Like a night in a forest
Like the mountains in springtime
Like a walk in the rain
Like a storm in the desert
Like a sleepy blue ocean ”
