上個月介紹過牙買加歌手巴布.馬利(Bob Marley)的〈Three Little Birds〉(三隻小鳥兒),這次再介紹〈Sun is shining〉(陽光閃耀)他的音樂曲調輕快,歌詞言簡意賅、激勵人向上,與村上春樹的作品同樣發人深省。
Sun is shining, the weather is sweet, yeah
Make you wanna move your dancing feet now
To the rescue, here I am
Want you to know, Y'all, can you understand?
(Monday morning)here I am
want you to know just if you can
(Tuesday evening)where I stand
(Wednesday morning)tell me a new day is rising
(Thursday evening)get on the rise
a new day is dawning
(Friday morning)here I am
(Saturday evening)want you to know just
want you to know just where I stand
When the morning gathers the rainbow
want you to know I'm a rainbow too
so, to the rescue here I am
陽光閃耀,天氣甜美,是耶
讓你想移動雙腳翩翩起舞
為了救贖,我來了
希望你知道,你們都能理解?
(周一早上)我在這裡
希望你知道,只要你能
(周二晚上)我站在哪裡
(周三上午)告訴我,新的一天剛破曉
(周四晚上)一起飛揚
新的一天即將來臨
(周五早上)我在這裡
(周六晚上)希望你知道
希望你知道我的立場
當清晨凝聚彩虹時
希望你知道我也是彩虹之一
所以,為了救贖,我來了
