哦,苏珊娜是一首美国乡村民谣,这首欢快的歌谣曾经风靡全球,它是由斯蒂芬·福斯特1847年写的一首歌,同年9月11日在匹兹堡的“雄鹰沙龙”上首次演出。翌年美国西部发现金矿后,大批的淘金者就是唱着这支生动、活泼的歌直奔加利福尼亚的。后来这首歌曲又飘洋过海,传遍了整个世界,一直深受各国人民的喜爱。
I come from Alabama with my banjo on my knee
I"m going to Louisiana, my true love for to see
It rained all night the day I left
The weather it was dry
The sun so hot, I froze to death
Susanna don't you cry
Oh, Susanna,
Oh don "t you cry for me
For I "m going to Louisiana
With my banjo on my knee
I had a dream the other night when everything was still
I thought I saw Susanna a-coming down the hill
The buckwheat cake was in her mouth
The tear was in her eye
Says I, I "m coming from the south
Susanna, don "t you cry
Oh, Susanna,
Oh don "t you cry for me
For I "m going to Louisiana
With my banjo on my knee
我来自阿拉巴马,带上心爱的五弦琴;
要赶到路易斯安那,为了寻找我爱人。
晚上起程大雨下不停,但是天气还干燥,
烈日当空,我心却冰冷,苏珊娜,别哭泣。
哦,苏珊娜,你别为我哭泣。
我来自阿拉巴马,带上心爱的五弦琴。
昨晚上夜深人已静,我沉睡入梦境,
在梦中见苏珊娜漫步下山来相迎。
她嘴里吃着荞麦饼,但两眼泪晶莹,
我离开故乡来找你,苏珊娜,别哭泣。
哦,苏珊娜,你别为我哭泣,
我来自阿拉巴马,带上心爱的五弦琴。
我马上要去新奥尔良到四处去寻访,
当我找到苏珊娜,我愿跪倒在她身旁。
倘若不幸我要失望只有把命丧,
黄土长埋我也心甘愿,苏珊娜,别哭泣。
哦,苏珊娜,你别为我哭泣,
我来自阿拉巴马,带上心爱的五弦琴。
