路边的浓咖啡 (original) (raw)

歌手的声音柔和又低沉,就像夏日或秋日树下的老爷爷闲来无事低声向你说的陈年旧事,带着岁月的痕迹,但是又使你听得入神。它的确有点旧了,但是有着醇厚的香味。
我最爱的歌是里面的Father and son.父亲和儿子的对话:父亲是个谨小慎微的人,他老了,他希望儿子可以早早结婚,将生活安定下来,老了时有个保障;但是儿子的想法却与他背道而驰,他长大了,他不需要再听父亲的话了,路就在眼前,他渴望离开。父亲轻声述说着,然而儿子却高声反驳他。
Now there's a way, and I know 现在,路在眼前,我知道
That I have to go away 我必须要走了
父亲最终是同意了吧,年轻的、充满活力与激情的心,是什么枷锁都禁锢不了的,尽管无知,尽管伤痛。
也许他选择的就是浓咖啡,苦,直到喉间才有醉人的芳香。
而当他很久之后走在路上,是否会忽然忆起父亲对他说的话?

歌词(来自百度):
father:
It's not time to make a change 现在还不是做出改变的时候
Just relax--take it easy 请放松点吧,别紧张
You're still young--that's your fault 你还是太年轻了,那是你的命门 There's so much you have to know 你需要学习的东西还很多 Find a girl, settle down 找个女孩安定下来,不再浪迹天涯
If you want, you can marry 如果你想,那么你可以步入婚姻的殿堂 Look at me--I am old 看着我,我已逐渐老去
But I'm happy 但我却很活得很开心
I was once like you are now 我也曾像你这样年轻过
And I know that it's not easy 而且我知道那并不容易
To become when you've found 当你发觉外头有些奇妙的事情时 Something going on 务必保持冷静
But take your time--think a lot 凡事三思而后行
Think of everthing you've got 思考你所拥有的一切
For you will still be here tomorrow 因为明天你的人依然会在这儿 But your dreams may not... 而你的梦想却并非如此……
son:
How can I try to explain? 我该怎么和你解释呢?
When I do--it turns away again 事实总是和意愿背道而驰
And it's always been the same 历史不断犯着相似的错误
Same old story 同样的故事正在发生
From the moment I could talk 那我能够说话的那一刻起
I was ordered to listen 我就被要求必须倾听
Now there's a way, and I know 现在,路在眼前,我知道
That I have to go away 我必须要走了
I know, I have to go... 是的,我必须走……

It's not time to make a change 现在还不是做出改变的时候
Just sit down 请坐下
and take it slowly 慢慢去找出解决的办法
You're still young--that's your fault 你还是太年轻了,那是你的缺点 There's so much you have to go through 你还需要经历更多风雨的洗礼

All the times, that I've cried 每次当我泪流的时候
Keeping all the things I knew inside
And it's hard 这是很不容易的

f they were right--I'd agree我承认,有时候别人的生活是对的 But it's them--they know 但那是别人,是他们追求的生活
Not me. Now there's a way, and I know 不是我,现在我知道该怎么做了
That I have to go away 我会离开你的生活,自己去闯荡
I know, I have to go. 是的,我该走了……
