TakeMeHome,CountryRoads,中文译为乡村路,带我回家,是约翰•丹佛(JohnDenver,1943-1997)的成名作。此歌创作于1971年,使丹佛一跃成为著名乡村音乐歌星。
乡村路,带我回家。多么深挚的乡恋情!是啊,天堂般的西弗吉尼亚,那里有崇山峻岭,有清澈的河流;那里生命常在,树木参天,青山不老,一切都缓缓生长,如徐徐微风,吹拂着浓浓的乡情。是啊,这天堂般的家乡,怎能使人不怀恋?
乡村路,带我回家。鸟恋旧林,人思故乡,这是有史以来难以抹掉的乡情。游子思归,欲归之处不仅是那西弗吉尼亚,更重要的是回到山里的妈妈身旁。还家路上,汽车奔驰,所有的记忆全是围绕自己的生母亲娘。这山里的妈妈,一个矿工的太太,从未走出深山,从未见过大海,皮肤黝黑,尘土沾襟,清楚的记忆,模糊的印象,似隐似现。这便是养育自己成人的山里母亲。想起这山里纯朴的母亲,怎不令人潸然泪下?
这乡村路非同寻常,它连接了山村与外边的世界。它把游子送出深山,又把游子带回家园。外边的世界很精彩,但怎能令游子留恋不归?难怪几位外国朋友听见这首歌顿起归思,难怪有那么多人对它深深地喜爱。
Almost heaven West Virginia
Blue ridge mountain Shenandoah river
Life is old there older than the trees
Younger than the mountains blowing like a breeze
Country roads take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia mountain mamma
Take me home country roads
All my memories gather round her
Miners' lady stranger to blue water
Dark and dusty painted on the sky
Misty taste of moonshine teardrop in my eye
Country roads take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia mountain mamma
Take me home country roads
I hear her voice in the morning hour she calls me
Radio reminds me of my home far away
Driving down the road I get a feeling
That I should have been home yesterday yesterday
Country roads take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia mountain mamma
Take me home country roads
Country roads take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia mountain mamma
Take me home country roads
Take me home country road
Take me home country road
