End of May(通讯员佳作)
[ 2006-11-13 17:19 ]

很多人都是透过Ann这张迷人的侧脸认识她的,而大凡听过Ann的人都会把她的音乐和诗联系在一起。春日午后、夜阑人静,你完全有理由让Ann诗一样的旋律——《五月末稍》&《哪儿也不去》——围绕你左右……

五月末稍End of May   
   
守候/哪儿也不去Not going anywhere

 我听之我见 “什么也不要说,黎明破晓,五月的尽头风吹起白色的沙子……” 曲中反反复复吟唱的这个旋律,营造的是怎样幽静的意境?我体会到了一种孤寂,但并不同于“千山鸟飞绝,万径人踪灭”中独钓渔翁所传达的禅意之寂。Keren想在歌中表达的是对逃离都市喧嚣,追求心灵自由的渴求。

     Lyrics       

End of May,五月末梢,Keren Ann,凯伦安End of May        by    Keren Ann 

Close your eyes and roll a dice
Under the board there's a compromise
If after all we only live twice
Which life is the run road to paradise

Don't say a word
Here comes the break of the day
In white clouds of sand raised by the wind of the end of May

Close your eyes and make a bet
Faced to the glare of the sunset
This is about as far as we get
You haven't seen me disguised yet

Don't say a word
Here comes the break of the day
In white clouds of sand raised by the wind of the end of May

Close your eyes and make a wish
Under the stone there's a stone-fish
End of May,五月末梢,Keren Ann,凯伦安Hold your breath, then roll the dice
It might be the run road to paradise

Don't say a word
Here comes the break of the day
In white clouds of sand raised by the wind of the end

  Don't say a word
Here comes the break of the day
In white clouds of sand raised by the wind of the end of May

  Words and phrases

1. dice:赌博,或者指赌博不可或缺的道具之一——骰子。

2. compromise:依据色彩意义的强弱程度,compromise可用来指“妥协,折衷”,或者指“危害,沦丧”。分别看例句:
Most wage claims are settled by compromise.(对提高工资的要求大都能折衷解决。)
Such behavior is actually a compromise of morality. (这种行为无疑是道德的沦丧。)

3. glare:该词的基本词义是指“光滑的冰的表层”;想象一下,这光滑的冰的表层反射的是什么呢?——炫目的光芒——这就是引申出来的意思啦!请看例句:
You should be careful to avoid the glare of the car headlights. (你得小心,以避免汽车前灯的强光。)

4. stone fishes:石鱼,这种鱼多产自印度洋和太平洋地区的海域中,可分泌剧毒无比的神经毒素。

歌手在此想以石鱼指代“有毒,会伤害人的东西”——或许是焦躁,亦或是愤怒,也许,可能是爱本身带来的伤害。

   中文歌词  

五月末梢                  凯伦·安

闭上双眼,甩个骰子
悄声地,做次让步
如果有来生
哪次生命,可以通往天堂
