【英文歌曲】解析歌詞《RhythmoftheRain》

1、音樂欣賞 « Rhythm of the Rain »The Cascades (瀑布合唱團(tuán))來自加州圣地亞哥的這支樂隊，是由擅 長作曲以及吉他的主唱約翰甘莫(John Gummoe領(lǐng)軍的，他在1950年代末期結(jié)識了另外四位樂手，由于彼此十分投緣，決定共同組團(tuán)。他們以類 似屋頂歌手合唱團(tuán)(The Rooftop Singers )的流暢抒情曲風(fēng)，在許多 私人的宴會上演出，逐漸打響名聲。有一天晚上，他們正在某家俱樂部表 演的時候，有一家唱片公司的星探正好在場，立刻決定跟他們簽約。1962年底，唱片公司把他們帶到好萊塢的錄音室，幫他們錄制第一張單曲Second Chance，雖

2、然弁不成功，但是他們的第二張單曲，也就是 Rhythm of the Rain，卻得到了爆炸性的成功，在流行榜上獲得了第三名，同時更勇奪抒情歌曲排行榜的冠軍。只可惜，他們的運氣顯然不是很好(或許應(yīng)該說是生不逢辰吧)，接 下來的 Shy Girl和The Last Leaf雖然也還算很受歡迎，卻無法 再創(chuàng)同樣的高峰，加上披頭帶來的英國搖滾入侵狂潮，他們的唱片竟然被 認(rèn)為太美國而遭到了消費者的冷落，盡管他們繼續(xù)努力，卻依然改變 不了過氣的命運，團(tuán)員們先后打了退堂鼓，甚至連負(fù)責(zé)創(chuàng)作大部分歌曲的 約翰甘莫也宣告退出，到了 1969年，只剩下薩克斯風(fēng)手還是原始的團(tuán)員， 當(dāng)然也就更加的沒有東山再起的機會了

3、。不過，雖然他們只有一首真正暢 銷的歌曲，這首 Rhythm of the Rain卻成了流行音樂史上最令人難忘 的經(jīng)典之一，不但翻唱的人難以數(shù)計，更平均每隔幾年就要再流行一次， 最近的一次是丹佛格伯(Dan Fogelberg )在1990年推出的版本。而在我 國，它也被翻譯成國語歌曲雨的旋律，同樣也是三十多年以來始終大 受歡迎。1 / 5音樂欣賞Rhythm of the RainListen to the rhythm of the falling rain, Telling me just what a fool I've been.I wish that it would g

7、傻瓜。我真希望雨停下 來。讓我無望地哭泣，讓我再次孤身單影。我唯一在乎的姑娘已經(jīng)離去，去尋找她的新生活。然而，她不知道，當(dāng)她離去的那天，也將我的心帶走。雨呀，請告訴我，那樣公平嗎？她偷走了我的心，居然毫不在乎。我無法再愛別人，我的心已遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)漂向異地。雨呀，你就不能告訴她我多么地愛她，請讓太陽燃起她心中的愛苗，讓雨滋潤她的心田。讓我們愛情之花重新盛開。哦，聽那雨聲，嘛哩啪啦。歌詞、句型分析1、Listen to the rhythm Of the falling rain,telling me just whata fool I have been.=As I listen to the rhyt
