不過真正的發跡,要等到1959年離開西雅圖到舊金山發展, 他們1960年在哥倫比亞唱片發行的第二張單張——綠草原 一舉上升到排行榜的第二名。 同年底發行的長片——四兄弟也擠進前二十名。 我們今天貼的是他們另外一個曲子 “The Green Leaves of Summer” 是約翰偉恩的電影——邊城英烈傳(The Alamo)的插曲。 這首歌由Paul Francis Webster作詞, Dimitri Tiomkin作曲, 由四兄弟演唱的“The Green Leaves of Summer”, 得到1961年奧斯卡金像獎的提名, (該年的最佳歌曲金像獎得主是“Never on Sunday”).
The Green Leaves of Summer
Woo, woo, A time to be reaping A time to be sowing The green leaves of summer Are calling me home "
Twas so good to be young then In the season of plenty When the catfish were jumping As high as the sky
A time just for planting A time just for ploughing A time to be courting A girl of your own "
Twas so good to be young then To be close to the earth And to stand by your wife At the moment of birth, woo
A time to be reaping A time to be sowing A time just for living A place for to die "
Twas so good to be young then To be close to the earth Now the green leaves of summer Are calling me home "
Twas so good to be young then To be close to the earth Now the green leaves of summer Are calling me home
