老黑奴歌词 老黑奴歌词介绍
1.歌词:
Gone are the days when my heart was young and gay,
Gone are my friends from the cotton fields away,
Gone from the earth to a better land I know,
I hear their gentle voices calling Old Black Joe.
(合唱)
I’m coming, I’m coming, for my head is bending low:
I hear those gentle voices calling, Old Black Joe.
Why do I weep when my heart should feel no pain
Why do I sigh that my friends come not again,
Grieving for forms now departed long ago.
I hear their gentle voices calling “Old Black Joe”.
(合唱)
I’m coming, I’m coming, for my head is bending low:
I hear those gentle voices calling, Old Black Joe.
Where are the hearts once so happy and so free?
The children so dear that I held upon my knee,
Gone to the shore where my soul has longed to go.
I hear their gentle voices calling Old Black Joe.
(合唱)
I’m coming, I’m coming, for my head is bending low:
I hear those gentle voices calling, Old Black Joe.
翻译:
快乐童年,如今一去不复返,亲爱朋友,都已离开家园,离开尘世到那天上的乐园,我听见他们轻声把我呼唤,我来了,我来了,我已年老背又弯,我听见他们轻声把我呼唤。
为何哭泣,如今我不应忧伤,为何叹息,朋友不能重相见?为何悲痛,亲人去世已多年。我听见他们轻声把我呼唤,我来了,我来了,我已年老背又弯,我听见他们轻声把我呼唤。
幸福伴侣,如今东飘西散,怀中爱儿,早已离我去远方,他们已到我所渴望的乐园。我听见他们轻声把我呼唤,我来了,我来了,我已年老背又弯,我听见他们轻声把我呼唤。
2.《老黑奴》是一首由史蒂芬·柯林斯·福斯特(1826-1864)创作的美国民歌,原名《old black Joe》。作者写作本曲除了寄托对老黑奴的哀思以外,也融进了对自己当时境遇的哀叹。
