想要一匹马: Pony
[ 2006-09-14 18:06 ]
本网小评：“Pony”出自Kasey Chambers第三张专辑“Wayward
angel”（《任性天使》）。在这张专辑里，一度走在乡村乐和摇滚乐交接点的kasey，音乐路逐渐拓宽并呈多元化趋势。专辑中，高音危危欲坠的“荆棘鸟”不见了，Kasey开始朝舒缓和流行化发展，而她对节奏、对鼓点的把握似乎也比以前沉稳许多。
“Pony”以一个小孩的视角，描绘了只有小女孩才会做的爱情梦：“拥有漂亮的‘小矮马’、生个可爱的‘小宝宝’、或摇身变为端庄贤惠的‘淑女’”——这都是女孩子托腮做白日梦时对未来的美好期盼，但无论做什么梦，都离不开最真、最痴、最纯、最可爱的梦——我那一天会不会成为你的新娘？

Lyrics
When I grow up I want a pony
I'm gonna
ride her from dust til dawn
I'm gonna brush her mane
 |
|
Pony | And feed her sugar cane
And keep her in safe from the storm
If I had a pony
I wonder could I be your girl
When I grow up I want a baby
I'm gonna name it after Ralph Stanley
And I sure won't mind if it cries
all night
Just as long as it looks like me
If I had a baby
I wonder could I be your girl
Yodelay he yodeloh oh
You rock my world
Yodelay he yodeloh
When I
grow up I wanna be your girl
When I grow up I want a cowboy
With dust all over his jeans
With a
horse named Jack
And a ten-gallon
hat
He is nice but looks so mean
If you were a cowboy
I wonder could I be your girl
 |
|
ten-gallon hat | Yodelay he yodeloh
oh
You rock my world
Yodelay he yodeloh
When I grow up I wanna be your
girl
When I grow up I'll be a lady
All my rings will be made of gold
I'll
put flowers in my room
I'll wear perfume
I won't listen to rock n
roll
If I was a lady
I wonder could I be your girl
Yodelay he
yodeloh oh
You rock my world
Yodelay he yodeloh
When I grow up I wanna
be your girl
When I grow up I want a pony
When I grow up I want a
baby
When I grow up I want a cowboy
When I grow up I'll be a
lady
