“Solitary Man”
by Johnny Cash
Belinda was mine ’til the time that I found her
Holdin’ Jim
And lovin’ him
Then Sue came along, loved me strong, that’s what I thought
But me and Sue,
That died, too.
Don’t know that I will but until I can find me
A girl who’ll stay and won’t play games behind me
I’ll be what I am
A solitary man
A solitary man
I’ve had it here – being where love’s a small word
A part time thing
A paper ring
I know it’s been done havin’ one girl who loves you
Right or wrong
Weak or strong

Ne me quitte pas

突然听到Barb Jungr的这首歌。真是好听。然后马上去淘宝上搜索一下有没有她的LP唱片卖来着，结果没有。
时代被数码化了，硬盘里面堆满了MP3,唱片上布满了灰尘。每过几天才听一次的LP唱机，的确带来了很多有音乐感的时刻。不过如果没有那些数码音乐，我们的所得会更少。
离开我们的，是那种“珍贵”的感觉。一切都变得更多，更简单，更不需要思索。当然，另外一方面，需要思索的东西变得前所未有的多，在任何一个选择上只要多停留一些，生活就会马上被拥堵。

那到底应该乐观或者悲观，因为被抛于这样的世界上？

Don’t leave me now
All we can forget
We must just forget
All we did till now
Let’s forget the cost
Of the breath we’ve spent
Saying words unmeant
And the times we’ve lost
Hours that must destroy
Never knowing why
Everything must die
At the heart of joy
Don’t leave me now
Don’t leave me now
Don’t leave me now

I’ll bring back to you
The clear pearls of rain
From a distant domain
Where rain never fell
And though I grow old
I’ll keep mining the ground
To deck you around
In sunlight and gold
I’ll build you a desmene
Where love’s everything
Where love is the king
And you are the queen
Don’t leave me now
Don’t leave me now
Don’t leave me now

Don’t leave me now
For you I’ll invent
Words and what they meant
Only you will know
Tales of lovers who
Fell apart and then
Fell in love again
Since their hearts stayed true
There’s a story too
That I can confide
Of that king who died
From not meeting you
Don’t leave me now
Don’t leave me now
Don’t leave me now

And often it’s true
That flames spill anew
From ancient volcanos
We thought were too old
When all’s said and done
Scorched fields of defeat
Could give us more wheat
Than the fine April sun
And when evening is nigh
With flames overhead
The black and the red
Aren’t they joined in the sky?
Don’t leave me now
Don’t leave me now
Don’t leave me now

Don’t leave me now
I will cry no more
I will talk no more
Hide myself somehow
And I’ll see your smile
And I’ll see you dance
And I’ll hear you sing
Hear your laughter ring
Let me be for you
The shadow of your shadow
The shadow of your hand
The dog at your command
Don’t leave me now
Don’t leave me now
Don’t leave me now

Translation: Deptford and Greenwich, London, 2 August 1999

Simple twist of fate

They sat together in the park
As the evening sky grew dark
She looked at him and he felt a spark tingle to his bones
It was then he felt alone and wished that he’d gone straight
And watched out for a simple twist of fate.

They walked alone by the old canal
A little confused I remember well
And stopped into a strange hotel with a neon burning bright
He felt the heat of the night hit him like a freight train
Moving with a simple twist of fate.

A saxophone someplace far off played
As she was walking on by the arcade
As the light bust through a-beat-up shade where he was waking up
She dropped a coin into the cup of a blind man at the gate
And forgot about a simple twist of fate.

He woke up the room was bare
He didn’t see her anywhere
He told himself he didn’t care pushed the window open wide
Felt an emptiness inside to which he just could not relate
Brought on by a simple twist of fate.

He hears the ticking of the clocks
And walks along with a parrot that talks
Hunts her down by the waterfront docks where the sailers all come in
Maybe she’ll pick him out again how long must he wait
One more time for a simple twist of fate.

People tell me it’s a sin
To know and feel too much within
I still believe she was my twin but I lost the ring
She was born in spring but I was born too late
Blame it on a simple twist of fate.

Tim Buckley
Sing A Song For You

In my heart is where I long for you
In my smile I search for you
Each time you turn and run away I cry inside
My silly way, just too young to know any more

In my world the devil dances and dares
To leave my soul just anywhere,
Until I find peace in this world
I’ll sing a song everywhere I can
Just too young to know any more

The wind covers me cold
The starry skies all around my eyes
Far behind the city moans
Well worthy of the people there
Oh, the psalms they love to hear

So let me sing a song for you
Just to help your day along
Let me sing a song for you
One I’ve known so very long
Oh, please could you find the time

最喜欢末尾那段。Tim Buckley 和Jeff Buckley真像。

[*Sung By Clint Eastwood*]
　　So tenderly your story is
　　nothing more than what you see
　　or what you’ve done or will become
　　standing strong do you belong
　　in your skin; just wondering
　　
　　gentle now the tender breeze blows
　　whispers through my Gran Torino
　　whistling another tired song
　　
　　engine humms and bitter dreams grow
　　heart locked in a Gran Torino
　　it beats a lonely rhythm all night long
　　it beats a lonely rhythm all night long
　　it beats a lonely rhythm all night long
　　
　　[*sung by Jamie Cullum*]
　　Realign all the stars above my head
　　Warning signs travel far
　　I drink instead on my own Oh! how I’ve known
　　the battle scars and worn out beds
　　
　　gentle now a tender breeze blows
　　whispers through a Gran Torino
　　whistling another tired song
　　
　　engines humm and bitter dreams grow
　　heart locked in a Gran Torino
　　it beats a lonely rhythm all night long
　　
　　these streets are old they shine
　　with the things I’ve known
　　and breaks through the trees
　　their sparkling
　　
　　your world is nothing more than all the tiny things you’ve left behind
　　
　　So tenderly your story is
　　nothing more than what you see
　　or what you’ve done or will become
　　standing strong do you belong
　　in your skin; just wondering
　　
　　gentle now a tender breeze blows
　　whispers through the Gran Torino
　　whistling another tired song
　　engines humm and bitter dreams grow
　　a heart locked in a Gran Torino
　　it beats a lonely rhythm all night long
　　
　　may I be so bold and stay
　　I need someone to hold
　　that shudders my skin
　　their sparkling
　　
　　your world is nothing more than all the tiny things you’ve left behind
　　
　　so realign all the stars above my head
　　warning signs travel far
　　i drink instead on my own oh how ive known
　　the battle scars and worn out beds
　　
　　gentle now a tender breeze blows
　　whispers through the Gran Torino
　　whistling another tired song
　　engines humm and better dreams grow
　　heart locked in a Gran Torino
　　it beats a lonely rhythm all night long
　　it beats a lonely rhythm all night long
　　it beats a lonely rhythm all night long
