一首聽起來非常舒適的歌曲叫做"Florence",來自于非典型女聲鄉村樂隊Crooked Still,這支樂隊于2004年成立于波士頓,自稱為“另類蘭草風格”,現有成員5名。這首歌以大提琴為基調,在這首歌里面,以往扮演悲情角色的大提琴已經不再哀傷,它變的悠揚而且溫暖 ,它還穿插著班卓琴,如此大膽混搭出來的音樂風格更加精致而人文,就適合慢慢悠悠的時光里靜靜地聆聽。本期主播:小C姐(主播微信公眾號:小C微英語 / 抖音: 198211980)
Not many years their rounds shall roll
Each moment brings it nigh
And all your glories stand revealed
To our admiring eye
You wills of nature speed your course,
You mortal powers decay
Fast as you bring the night of death
You bring eternal day
人在世上的日子何其短暫
分分秒秒都在奔向死亡
在我們欣羨的眼里
你的榮耀卻亙古光照
與生俱來的欲望催人老去
肉體的力量轉眼消亡
你瞬間帶來死亡之夜
轉眼又帶來永恒白晝
You weary heavy-laden souls
Who are oppressed sore
You travelers through the wilderness
To Canaan's peaceful shore
Through beating winds and chilly rains,
And waters deep and cold
And enemies surrounding you
Have courage and be bold
酸楚壓迫之下的人們
疲憊的肩負重軛的靈魂
你們穿越曠野
去往迦南和平之地
大風撲面 寒雨淋漓
河深且冷
眾敵環伺
你們應當剛強壯膽
The storms and hurricanes arise
The desert all around
And fiery serpent soft appear
Through the enchanted ground
Dark night and clouds and gloomy fear
And dragons often roar
But when the gospel trump we hear
We'll press for Canaan's shore
暴雨颶風涌起
曠野茫茫
火蛇出沒
魔鬼轄制的大地上
黑夜、烏云和絕望一齊降臨
惡龍依舊咆哮
但當福音的號筒聲傳入耳中
我們將義無反顧 奔向迦南
講解歌詞段:
And all your glories stand revealed
你的才華總有一天會展現
To our admiring eye
我們總是那樣的羨慕你
Your wills of nature speed your course,
你的意志幫你度過重重難關
You mortal powers decay
如果只是個凡人這是何等銷蝕
