Take off your hat, kick off your shoes. You know you ain't goin' anywhere. Spend all your time singin' your blues. You know you ain't goin' anywhere. You've always been a good friend of mine, but you always say farewell. And the only time that you're satisfied, is with your feet in the wishing well.
Throw down your gun, you might shoot yourself. Or is that what you're tryin' to do? Put up a fight you believe to be right, and one day the sun will shine through. You've always got somethin' to hide. Somethin' you just can't tell. And the only time that you're satisfied, is with your feet in the wishing well. In the wishing well.
But I know what you're wishing for. Love in a peaceful world. Love in a peaceful world. Love in a peaceful world. Hm, hm-m-m-m. Hah. You've always been a good friend of mine, but you always say farewell. And the only time that you're satisfied, is with your feet in the wishing well. In the wishing well. In the wishing well. Everybody's got a dream and they take it to the wishing well. Everybody's got a dream, hah. Wishing well.
这首歌是我随手买的一张碟THE MISSION 《Salad Daze》中的一首歌。有人翻译为使命乐队,有人翻译为教会乐队,且不管这些。我很喜欢这首歌。每当唱到But I know what you're wishing for,Love in a peaceful world的时候,眼泪总是不自觉悄悄沁出,让我想到马丁·路德·金的那句话:我有一个梦想——。Peaceful翻译为平等的也未尝不可,“我知道你的愿望,爱在一个平等的世界”。这首歌翻唱的很多,但我总觉得这个最好。它直接震撼到我们的灵魂,使我们无法再无动于衷。同一首歌和不同的歌手结合的效果就不一样,歌手个人感情的发挥很重要,涅磐的《where did you sleep last night?》让我们见识到个人感情发挥到极至的效果。“你一直是我的好朋友,但你总是说再见”,我知道很多贝侬都在外地工作,谨将这首歌送给你们,希望喜欢。
