【听歌练听力】A Bad Dream

前川
楼主 (文学城)

想到无数正在奋斗的人们。

这是英国摇滚乐队Keane 所唱的一首歌,2007年出品。据说这首歌借鉴了爱尔兰诗人Yeats所写的描写第一次世界大战一首诗,诗开头的几句是:

I know that I shall meet my fate
Somewhere among the clouds above;
Those that I fight I do not hate
Those that I guard I do not love;

Yeats为什么会这样写?因为战争初期爱尔兰还属于英国,所以爱尔兰士兵要为英国打仗去。后来爱尔兰独立并成立国家,北方的几个郡仍留在英国,形成“北爱尔兰”,因此英国的全称为United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland。下面歌词里的那句:And you that I defend, I do not love  也有它自己的意义吧。

Why do I have to fly
Over every (       ) up and down the line?
I'll (       ) in the clouds above
And you that I defend, I do not love

I wake up, it's a bad dream
No one on my side
I was fighting
But I just feel too tired to be fighting
Guess I'm not the fighting (      )

Where will I meet my (      )?
Baby I'm a man, I was born to fight
And when will I meet my (      )?
In a better time you could be my friend

I wake up, it's a bad dream
No one on my side
I was fighting
But I just feel too tired to be fighting
Guess I'm not the fighting (     )
Wouldn't mind it
If you were by my side
But you're long gone
Yeah you're long gone now
Yeah

Where do we go?
I don't even know
My strange old face
And I'm thinking about those days
And I'm thinking about those days

I wake up, it's a bad dream
No one on my side
I was fighting
But I just feel too tired to be fighting
Guess I'm not the fighting (       )
Wouldn't mind it
If you were by my side
But you're long gone
Yeah you're long gone now
Yeah

答案在此, 谢谢大家。

         A Bad Dream

Why do I have to fly
Over every town up and down the line?
I'll die in the clouds above
And you that I defend, I do not love

I wake up, it's a bad dream
No one on my side
I was fighting
But I just feel too tired to be fighting
Guess I'm not the fighting kind

Where will I meet my fate?
Baby I'm a man, I was born to fight
And when will I meet my end?
In a better time you could be my friend

I wake up, it's a bad dream
No one on my side
I was fighting
But I just feel too tired to be fighting
Guess I'm not the fighting kind
Wouldn't mind it
If you were by my side
But you're long gone
Yeah you're long gone now
Yeah

Where do we go?
I don't even know
My strange old face
And I'm thinking about those days
And I'm thinking about those days

I wake up, it's a bad dream
No one on my side
I was fighting
But I just feel too tired to be fighting
Guess I'm not the fighting kind
Wouldn't mind it
If you were by my side
But you're long gone
Yeah you're long gone now
Yeah

 

HEARTLAND by Irish singers

When the storm is ( raging ),

and thunder rolls.

Deliver us from the ocean

Save our (souls ).

A THIARNA DEAN TROCAIRE (This is Irish for Lord have Mercy)

A CHRIOST DEAN TROCAIRE (This is Irish for Christ have Mercy)

When the winds are ( howling ), vigil keep

Shelter us and save us from the ( deep ).

A THIARNA DEAN TROCAIRE

A CHRIOST DEAN TROCAIRE

Thank you, Lord, you have brought us safe to shore

Be our strength and (protection ) evermore.

I wake up, it's a bad dream                                            恶梦惊醒

No one on my side, I was fighting                                   孤军无援

But I just feel too tired to be fighting                              倦极怠战

Guess I'm not the fighting (kind)                                 盖非斗徒

Wouldn't mind it if you were by my side                          吾不退缩,若君在侧

But you're long gone, yeah, you're long gone now, yeah   憾君早去!!

谢谢前川主持听歌练听力节目!欢迎大家来玩这个游戏!练习英文听力,了解欧美文化,更培养对英文歌词的感觉!百利无害!那谁谁们快来!:
前川
谢谢,译得很好。
前川
大家都累。
移花接木
我问过几次rock与pop在作曲,配器有什么不同,都没得到明确答案,二者确实很难分辨,只好凭感觉去判断
移花接木
这首歌虽然比较轻柔,但我的确感受到了摇滚的因素, rock不一定比pop更重,更快.
前川
我也不太懂,只见到有一处说他这属于“soft rock". 到底摇滚音乐的定义是什么,还要请教。

Why do I have to fly
Over every (  town     ) up and down the line?
I'll (   die    ) in the clouds above
And you that I defend, I do not love

I wake up, it's a bad dream
No one on my side
I was fighting
But I just feel too tired to be fighting
Guess I'm not the fighting (   kind   )

Where will I meet my (  fate    )?
Baby I'm a man, I was born to fight
And when will I meet my (  end    )?
In a better time you could be my friend

I wake up, it's a bad dream
No one on my side
I was fighting
But I just feel too tired to be fighting
Guess I'm not the fighting ( kind    )
Wouldn't mind it

都对了,问号的地方也都对。

我也听了这首,很好。还在youtube 上看到这个歌手年纪大点时的歌。
前川
是的,他们用了暗影,形象缩小等技巧,歌曲开头时这人就是躺着的。
