询问一首英文老歌!!
这首歌的名字,叫《神龙帕夫》<Puff, the magic dragon>。 这首歌可以说是欧美民谣中经典中的经典。每一本民谣教本的必选曲目。这是彼得所谱写的歌曲,用寓言的方式,唱出了为人父母者对于孩子成长的复杂感受。父母,就像是歌曲里面那只会喷火的龙,因为有了孩子而感受到无比的欢乐,可是等到孩子长大、有了自己的世界,父母又会变得像那只失去了小男孩的龙一样,生活在寂寞里……很多对这首歌的评论就是“失去的纯真”。到底对与否,对着歌词自己感受才是最真切的。
puff,the magic dragon
live by the sea
and frolicked in the autumn mist
in a land called honahlee
little jackie Paper
loved that rascal Puff
and brought him strings and sealing wax
and other fancy stuff
together they would travel
on a boat with billowed sail
Jackie's kept a look-out
perched on Puff's gigantic tail
noble kings and princes would bow
whenever they came
Pirate ships would lower their flags
when puff roared out his name
a dragon lives forever
but not little boys
painted wings and giant rings
make way for other toys
one grey night it happened
Jackie Paper came no more
and puff that mighty dragon
he ceased his fearless roar
his head was bent in sorrow
green scales fell like rain
Puff no longer went to play
along the cherry lane
without his lifelong friend
Puff could not be grave
so puff that mighty dragon
sadly slipped into his cave
中文大意:
"帕夫"这只神奇龙住在海边┇
在秋天的雾中嬉戏┇
在一个叫做"哈诺里"的地方┇
小杰奇佩柏喜欢这只调皮的龙┇
为它带来细线、封蜡┇
和一些好玩的东西┇
他们一起旅行,乘着船航过滔天巨浪┇
杰奇在帕夫巨大的尾巴上不停的张望┇
尊贵的国王和王子们在他们来到时也得行礼如仪┇
海盗船必须降下旗子┇
当帕夫咆哮着它的威名┇
龙可以长生不死,小男孩却没办法┇
用画的翅膀和巨人的戒指┇
即使想尽办法,找遍了各种玩具┇
一个灰蒙蒙的夜里,事情终于发生了┇
杰奇佩柏再也没有来了┇
帕夫这只力大无比的龙┇
停止了它肆无忌惮的怒吼┇
它的头哀伤的垂下来┇
绿色的鳞片像雨一样的掉落下来┇
帕夫从此再也不去樱桃小径玩耍┇
失去了它一生的朋友┇
帕夫再也勇敢不起来┇
于是,帕夫这只力大无穷的龙忧伤的潜入它的洞穴里……
