把妳自己喜歡的歌曲說下!(只要傷感的。。)看妳跟我的喜歡的是不是壹樣!
下載地址 ments. Now make yourself a cup of hot tea, sit back, and I'll tell you a story about Bressanone...
Several years ago, I fell deeply in love with a young woman, and also with a part of northern Italy known as South Tyrol. It borders Austria, just south of the Brenner mountain pass which separates Italy from Austria.
South Tyrol used to be joined with North Tyrol (now a part of Austria) and West Tyrol (now a part of Switzerland). The people of this area speak a dialect of German. But since Tyrol was divided and South Tyrol became a part of Italy, all the place names are in both German and Italian.
Anyway... I once worked for Greenpeace many years ago, where I met a young woman who melted my heart. We met while on a retreat in California's Yosemite National Park. After the retreat, she returned to the Colorado Greenpeace office, and eventually went back to school in New York state. I returned to the San Diego Greenpeace Office, and eventually went back to my home in the Yukon, Canada.
Over the months we stayed in touch. Soon we discovered that we would both be close again. She was going to study art in Florence, Italy, and I was going to live in Munich, Germany performing with a rock band called "Marching Powder"... ahhhh yes, Marching Powder... but that's another story.
When we were both in Europe, we made arrangements to meet in a place that was close to being between Florence and Munich. This was the South Tyrolian town called "Brixen" in German, or "Bressanone" in Italian. Bressanone is a beautiful town surrounded by small villages high in the mountain valleys with churches ringing and sheep in the meadows, and the awesome peaks of the Dolomite mountains towering beyond.
We spent several days exploring the mountain villages and each other's hearts. And when the day came for her to return, I took her to a train station in a nearby village, and we said goodbye. It was very sad to be going our own ways again. With tears in my eyes, I got on a bus and headed for the train station in Bressanone. During the short 40 minute bus ride, I fell asleep. And while I slept, I had a dream in which I could hear this song, complete with the words and music. When I awoke, I got off the train and went to the nearest coffee shop to write the words and music on a napkin, so I would not forget.
It was years later when I finally recorded the song. I will always have a place in my heart for her... and for that village... and for this song.
Thank you for listening. Now... off to bed with you!!!

Bressanone
布列瑟農
Here I stand in Bressanone
我站在布列瑟儂的夜色裏
With the stars up in the sky
滿天的星星在天上閃耀
Are they shining over Brenner
遠在布雷納的妳
And upon the other side
是不是也能看到它們的眼睛
You would be a sweet surrender
如果妳心甘情願放棄
I must go the other way
我只有走上另壹條路
And my train will carry me onward
火車將載著我繼續旅行
Though my heart would surely stay
可我的心卻會留下
Wo my heart would surely stay
哦,我的心壹定會留下
Now the clouds are flying by me
流雲從我的身邊飄飛而去
And the moon is on the rise
那壹輪月亮正在升起
I have left stars behind me
所有的星星我都留在身後
They were diamonds in your sky
如鉆石般點綴妳的夜空
You would be a sweet surrender
如果妳心甘情願放棄
I must go the other way
我只有走上另壹條路
And my train will carry me onward
火車將載著我繼續旅行
Though my heart would surely stay
可我的心卻會留下
Wo my heart would surely stay
哦,我的心壹定會留下
薩克斯的伴奏給這首歌奠定了壹個棉輕的背景
憂郁的歌聲,寬泛的音域遠處飄近的鐘聲,中間部分相當長的薩克斯部分,結尾遠去的火車聲......
這些都給這首歌增色不少,也給這首歌壹個很廣的遐想範圍!!
