这两天一直忙到很晚,抽点时间上来看看这个帖子,听听这首歌。多听一次,多受一次感动。旋律委婉平和,歌词寓意深长。真是金曲。
在现实社会,我们已经没有闲暇和心情,也可以说已经没有能力去像古代的哲人那样静思自然世界和人在其中的位置。对大自然的漠视、疏远和放纵使得人类看上去是那么自私,自大。这首歌用简单的叙述和比喻向人们提出了这个意义深远的问题。歌中所怀念、怨恨的你也许是一个美丽但却虚荣易变的姑娘,也许是已消失的对大自然的热爱和珍惜。
Coming of the Roads
(Billy Ed Wheeler)
Now that our mountain is growing
With people hungry for wealth
How come it's you that's a'going
And I'm left all alone by myself
We used to hunt the cool caverns
Deep in our forest of green
Then came the road and the tavern
And you've found a new love it seems
Once I had you and the wild wood
Now it's just dusty road
And I can't help but blaming your going
On the coming, the coming of the roads
Look how they've cut all to pieces
Our ancient poplar and oak
And the hillsides are stained with the greases
That burned up the heavens with smoke
You used to curse the bold crewmen
Who stripped the earth of its ores
Now you've changed and you've gone over to them
And You've learned to love what you hated before
Once I thanked God for my treasures
Now like rust, it corrodes
I can't help bur blaming you going
On the coming, the coming of the roads
