It is a blue house Adjacent to the hill We walk there, we do not knock Those who live there have thrown away the key We meet together After years of journey And one comes to sit around the meal Everyone is there, at five o'clock in the evening
San Francisco gets foggy San Francisco lights up San Francisco, where are you Liza and Luc, Sylvia, wait for me...
It is a blue house Hooked to my memory We walk there, we do not hit Those who live there have thrown away the key People with long hair Large beds and music Populated with light, and populated by madmen She will be the last to stand If San Francisco collapses If San Francisco collapses San Francisco! Where are you Liza and Luc, Sylvia, wait for me
去年我们和一位文城网友姐姐换房度假,她和先生7月份在我家的独立小公寓里住了近三周;我和先生9月份开车去了米国,应他们夫妇之邀先去了他们Monterey家里的独立公寓住了近一周,然后去了他们旧金山的度假公寓住了近7周。实现了我们以前一直想多了解那个美丽城市的梦想。
在11月4号,我们去了旧金山的Castro小区,体会那里的文化和个性自由。我是吃货,当然也不会错过美坛哥们儿推荐那里的 Tartine Bakery。
在去吃午饭的路上,我们走过一栋蓝色房子,看见3位既不像当地人也不像是游客的人在对着房子指指点点。我(和以往一样)很好奇,走上前问他们:这个房子有什么问题吗?
没想到他们马上很兴奋,3个人你一句我一句地开始给我讲这个在旧金山并不出名,但在法国却很有名气的蓝房子故事:
那是嬉皮士年代的1971年,一位法国歌者Maxime Le Forestier应朋友之邀在这栋房子里做客住了一个夏天,并专门为这所蓝房子和主人写作了一首至今在法国还很流行的法语歌曲:旧金山。
这3位给我讲故事的,其中一位女士住在旧金山,另两位是从法国来玩儿的好朋友。他们讲完了故事,接着马上又即兴给我唱起了这首歌儿(当然是用法语啦)。我受宠若惊
注:对不起,我这几天忙,刚刚很匆匆地写下这段有趣儿的经历和星星们分享,写得很粗糙,请大家原谅啦!

Maxime Le Forestier的演唱和歌词的英文翻译:
It is a blue house
Adjacent to the hill
We walk there, we do not knock
Those who live there have thrown away the key
We meet together
After years of journey
And one comes to sit around the meal
Everyone is there, at five o'clock in the evening
San Francisco gets foggy
San Francisco lights up
San Francisco, where are you
Liza and Luc, Sylvia, wait for me...
It is a blue house
Hooked to my memory
We walk there, we do not hit
Those who live there have thrown away the key
People with long hair
Large beds and music
Populated with light, and populated by madmen
She will be the last to stand
If San Francisco collapses
If San Francisco collapses
San Francisco! Where are you
Liza and Luc, Sylvia, wait for me
在这,蓝房
