取消只看楼主收藏回复

可能大家都常听: Tiny Dancer by Elton John
Blue jean baby, L.A. lady, seamstress for the band
Pretty eyed, pirate smile, you'll marry a music man
Ballerina, you must have seen her dancing in the sand
And now she's in me, always with me, tiny dancer in my hand
Jesus freaks out in the street
Handing tickets out for God
Turning back she just laughs
The boulevard is not that bad
Piano man he makes his stand
In the auditorium
Looking on she sings the songs
The words she knows the tune she hums
But oh how it feels so real
Lying here with no one near
Only you and you can hear me
When I say softly slowly
Hold me closer tiny dancer
Count the headlights on the highway
Lay me down in sheets of linen
You had a busy day today
Hold me closer tiny dancer
Count the headlights on the highway
Lay me down in sheets of linen
You had a busy day today

    歌词是Elton John的老合作伙伴Bernie Taupin写的。 唱的很好听,歌词也很有意思,虽然有点跳跃,不太好翻译。欢迎大家尝试。

          这首歌是讲英国人到了L.A.以后,对当地女性,当地文化的感受。 也有一说,歌里的 L.A.lady 是他的女友,乐队的临时裁缝,后来的妻子。
          Bernie Taupin 写的歌词,一个特点是 mecurial, 就是说很跳跃,翻译时要注意这一点。另外因为是歌词,音节与原文要尽量接近,不然就没法唱,如果你要用中文唱的话。

            一个问题 : Jesus freaks out in the street, 该怎么理解?
            如果当成一个完整句子来理解,或者Jesus换成其他任何一个名字,意思是很明白的: Jesus在街上发飙了!
            但是Jesus在英美文化里不是一个普通的名字,也不能随便freak out.
            如果你听Elton唱这句的时候,是这样断句的: Jesus freaks, out in the street, 而不是这样断句的: Jesus freaks out, in the street. 二者的意思就完全不一样了!
            那么 Jesus freaks 是什么样的人呢? 就是下边这些人:

            在美国待久的人,都会在校园、街道等公共场合碰见这些 bible-thumping preachers, 可能英国人初见,也有点惊奇。

              关于 Tiny Dancer 这首歌,最后再说些花絮趣事。
              当年,也就是三年前,川总宣布竞选总统时,用的出场音乐是加拿大乐坛巨匠 Neil Young 的歌曲 Rockin in the Free World。 但是 Neil Young 的政治立场和川总可以说是水火不相容,马上宣布禁止川总使用他的歌!
              音乐界一般是很左的,其他的巨星们也纷纷宣布禁止川总用他们的音乐。
              最后的结果是, 川总竞选集会时,很多时候播放的音乐就是这首歌: Tiny Dancer
              可能是川总和 Elton John 是好朋友吧,没有下禁令。
              再说这首歌没有政治色彩,用在竞选集会上总感觉有点怪。
