【a day a song~2011.09.22】Bridge Over Troubled Water -- Anthony Callea

真正的旅者

想必这首来自1970年Simon & Garfunkel 的经典老歌大家都不会太陌生（虽然对于我来说才是第一次了解），这首被猫王Elvis Presley， Stevie Wonder等20多个上世纪大牌多次翻唱的曲目，今日被俺发掘到一个翻唱自出身选秀节目Australian Idol的年轻孩子的超好听版本~~~

这孩子叫Anthony Callea，声音清亮高亢却不刺耳，浑厚低沉却又婉转，如同美声般的流行唱腔，让人过耳难忘~（为毛我像在打广告。。）联想到同样出身于选秀节目的Leona Lewis, Shanye Ward, Kelly Clarkson, Chris Daughtry等人，感叹国内选秀与国外选秀选手的差距。。╮(╯▽╰)╭

废话不多说~大家仔细聆听，来自云和山的彼端的声音。



When you're weary, feeling small
When tears are in your eyes, I will dry them all
I'm on your side when times get rough
And friends just can't be found

[Chorus]
Like a bridge over toubled water
I will lay me down
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down

When you're down and out
When you're on the street
When evening falls so hard
I will comfort you
I will take your part when darkness comes
And pain is all around

[Chorus]

Sail on silver girl
Sail on by
Your time has come to shine
All your dreams are on their way
See how they shine
If you need a friend
I'm sailing right behind

[Chorus]



后记：
其实这首歌歌词简单，好懂，可是却很难翻译。
本来想译了跟大家一起分享，可是看到题目就已词穷。
What is Troubled Water?
浑水？湍急？抑或是平静下的波澜起伏？
youtube上原唱视频下的一位网友的回复或许能给我们一些启发。

My grandma is in the hospital, I failed a test, the love of my life is with someone else, I'm just having a hard time...Simon and Garfunkel give me 4 minutes and 52 seconds of reassurance that everything is going to be okay

Some say love, it is a river,
That drowns the tender reed.

爱，或许只是一种无私的给予，在最无助的时候，一点点的慰藉。

懦弱的人不敢爱，伤透的人不信爱，无情的人不懂爱，流浪的人不会爱。


Like a bridge over troubled water,
I will lay me down.
When you come across the love,
Will you lay you down ?

什么是爱？我想当每个人都能爱过，被爱过之后，都有权利在爱的词典上填上自己的注释。不一定完全一样，但或许殊途同归。

解不开的孽缘゛

高端了。。。。。。
