推荐两首英文歌


Artist: Collin Raye
Song: Love me

I read a note my grandma wrote back in 1923
Grandpa kept it in his coat and he showed it once to me
He said," Boy you might not understand, but a long long time ago
Grandma"s daddy din like me noone, but I loved your grandma so
We had this crazy plan to meet, and run away together
Get married in the first towm we come to and live forever
But nailed to the tree where we supposed to meet instead
i found this letter and this is what it said

If you get ther before I do, don"t give up on me
I"ll meet you when my chores all through, I don"t know how long I"ll be
But i"m not gonna let you down, Darling wait and see
But between now and then till I see you again
I"ll be loving you..love me

I read those words just hours before my grandma passed aways
In the doorway of a church where me and grandpa stopped to ray
I know I never seen him cry in all my fifteen years
But as he said those words to her
His eyes filled up with tears

If you get ther before I do, don"t give up on me
I"ll meet you when my chores all through, I don"t know how long I"ll be
But i"m not gonna let you down, Darling wait and see
But between now and then till I see you again
I"ll be loving you..love me

And between now and then till I see you again
I"ll be loving you... love me

 

Artist:Rufus Wainwright
Song:Hallelujah

I've heard there was a secret chord
That David played and it pleased the Lord
But you don't really care for music do you?

It goes like this, the fourth, the fifth
The minor fall, the major lift
The baffled King composing Hallelujah

Hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah

Your faith was strong but you needed proof
You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty in the moonlight overthrew you

She tied you to a kitchen chair
She broke your throne, and she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the hallelujah

Hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah

Maybe I've been here before
I know this room, I've walked this floor
I used to live alone before I knew you

I've seen your flag on the marble arch
Love is not a victory march
It's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah

Hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah

There was a time when you let me know
What's real and going on below
But now you never show it to me, do you?

And remember when I moved in you
The Holy Dark was moving too
And every breath we drew was hallelujah

Hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah

Maybe there's a God above
And all I ever learned from love
Was how to shoot at someone who outdrew you

And it's not a cry you can hear at night
It's not somebody who's seen the light
It's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah

Hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah

Hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah

  1. Hallelujah是leonard cohen写的,算是他的经典之作吧,引来不少大牌翻唱。jeff buckley有一版现场,我特别喜欢。不过这哥们英年早逝。Rufus Wainwright好像就几个星期前在纽约开演唱会呢。我对他不熟,没去看。知道你喜欢,就应该告诉你了。
     
    我mp3里面有五个版本的hallelujah,包括上面三个。回头有机会拷给你。
