我昨天請教網友金刀一個問題“台灣到底在學美國什麼“。其實我自己也沒有答案,我也不太知道怎麼才能好好描述美國。這幾年,我看到許多在各個角落辛勤工作的人民,他們樂天知命,實事求是,有時候大剌剌的,有點白目,純真,但有時候又非常細心,複雜。美國,一言難盡。 我常在收音機聽到的這首歌曲“Lucky Man“,在這邊給大家介紹一下,或許各位可以在裡面多少體會到一些美國人的價值觀,不然起碼你可以當KTV唱一唱。你或許會發現,其實美國人,台灣人,OOXX人,大家都差不多,都是在過日子,想擁有一個自己的家庭,有幾個好朋友和家人在身邊,週末出去釣魚,一年有幾天休假,對自己的生活感到自豪。雖然我不敢說所有人都是這樣,但起碼我可以向各位報告的是,我身邊有非常多這樣的例子。 每次聽到這樣的好歌,我就會很想找老朋友唱KTV,然後會忽然覺得,不知道這世界的人到底在吵什麼。 Lucky Man (Montgomery Gentry) I have days when I hate my job 我有的時候討厭我的工作 This little town and the whole world too 也討厭這個小鎮和整個世界 Last Sunday when my Bangals lost 上禮拜天喜歡的球隊輸了 Lord it put me in a bad mood 害我心情很不好 I have moments when I curse the rain 有時候我會詛咒雨 Then complain when the sun's too hot 然後抱怨太陽太熱 I look around at what everyone has 我看看周圍其他人有的好東西 And I forget about all I've got 然後忘記我自己已經擁有什麼 (chorus) But I know I'm a lucky man 但我知道我是個幸運的人 God's given me a pretty fair hand 上帝給我一手還不錯的牌 Got a house and a piece of land 有一棟房子和一塊土地 A few dollars in a coffee can 咖啡罐裡有幾塊錢 My old truck's still running good 我的舊卡車還很能跑 My ticker's tickin' like they say it should 幾張股票還算可以(?) I got supper in the oven, a good woman's loving 大烤箱裡有我的晚餐,一個好女人的愛 And one more day to be my little kid's dad 而且再一天,當我小小孩的爸 Lord, knows I'm a lucky man 主,知道我是個幸運的人 Got some friends who would be here fast 有些朋友快來了 I could call em any time of day 我什麼時候打電話給他們都可以 Got a brother who's got my back 有個罩我的老哥 Got a mama who I swear's a saint 有個像聖人一樣的老媽 Got a brand new rod and reel 有組新的釣具 Got a a full week off this year 今年有一整個禮拜休假 Dad had a close call last spring 去年春天我爸差點過世 It's a miracle he's still here 現在他還在這裡,真是奇蹟 And even my bad days ain't that bad 甚至壞日子也沒那麼壞 Yeah, I'm a lucky man 是的,我是個幸運的人 I'm a lucky lucky man 我是個幸運的人 歌手的話: David Cory Lee, Dave Turnbull "This is probably my favorite song on the whole album. I've been very blessed, and I might be singing this song for me more than anybody. I love what it says, I love the way it flows. To me, it doesn't get any more country than this." - Eddie "If you take the time to look around at what you've got, you're going to find somebody else that doesn't have it as well as you do. This song just makes me appreciate my family more, and the things my life and career have afforded me." - Troy |
