金曲40首，怀念 Karen Carpenter

alfonso

除了"Top Of The World"最早还在学校里是通过当时流行的各种舞曲知道的, 听到此歌是后来的事...但其它的象" Yesterday Once More", "SING THE SONG" 还有"Jambalaya"当是都是通过当年红极一时的歌星成方圆演唱推出的...代表了那时代流行歌曲中的很主要的几首英语歌曲...

我那段时间最喜欢"Yesterday Once More",那时每当听到唱到:

"every sha-la-la-la

Every wo-wo-wo

Still shines

Every shing-a-ling-a-ling

That they’re starting to sing’s

So fine
很是被那种特有的韵味着迷...

同时大家也不会忘掉同时期还有另一首英语歌: DONNNA DONNA

On a waggon 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 with,
like the swallow so proud and free?“ + Chorus
Calves are easily bound and slaughtered,
never knowing the reason why.
But whoever treasures freedom,
like the swallow has learned to fly.
