这将歌词进行简单注释,使大家能够深刻体会歌曲的丰富涵义!
《Donna, Donna》
Artist:Joan Baez
《这是一首传统歌曲,深受犹太人的喜爱,流传甚广。这首歌的词曲作者都是韶勒姆•赛肯达(Sholom Secunda)。《多纳,多纳》是一个寓言,一个难懂的寓言。我们首先看到的是这样一个画面:要入城进市的马车上绑着一头满脑忧伤的小牛;天空中轻快地飞着一只小燕子。这两个意境形成鲜明对比,中心问题是自由。小牛被绑,失去自由;小燕轻飞,自由自在;一个在地上受苦,一个在空中享受。鸟兽如此两分,风见此状,狂笑不止。
Donna, Donna
On a wagon bound for market
There's a calf with a mournful eye,
High above him there's a swallow
Winging swiftly through the sky.
*How the winds are laughing.
They laugh with all their might,
Laugh and laugh
The whole day through
And half the summer's night.
Donna, Donna, Donna, Donna,
Donna, Donna, Donna, Don.
Donna, Donna, Donna, Donna,
Donna, Donna, Donna, Don.*
Stop complaining, said the farmer,
Who told you a calf to be?
Why don't you have wings to fly
Like the swallows so proud and free ?
Calves are easily bound
And slaughtered,
Never knowing.the reason why.
But whoever treasures freedom
Like a swallow has learned to fly?
歌词大意
多纳,多纳
马车要入市,
车上有小牛,它满脸是忧伤。
在它上方有一只燕子
在天空轻快地飞翔。
风儿在狂笑。
笑声是那么响,
笑呀笑,
笑了整天,
又笑半个夏夜。
多纳,多纳,多纳,多纳,
多纳,多纳,多纳,多。
多纳,多纳,多纳,多纳,
多纳,多纳,多纳,多。
“不要抱怨”,农民对牛说。
谁叫你是小牛?
你为什么不长翅膀
像那小燕子自由飞翔?
小牛容易绑,
又容易被杀,
从来不知道为什么,
但哪个珍视自由的人
已像燕子那样会飞?
