lmagine
lmagine there is no heaven
lt's easy if you try
No heals blow us
Above us only sky
lmagine all the people
Living for today
You my say l'm a dreamer
but l'm not the only one
l hope some day you will join us
And the would will be as one
lmagine there's no possision
No greed nor hunger
a brotherhood of a man
lmagine all the people
Living life in peace
you may say l'm a dreamer
But l'm not the only one
l hope someday you'll join us
And the would will be as one

the greatest love of all
i believe the children are our future

teach them well and let them lead the wa
y

show them all the beauty they possess in
side

give them a sense of pride to make it ea
sier

let the children's laughter remind us ho
w we used to be
everybody searching for a hero
people need someone to look up to

i never found anyone to fulfill my needs

a lonely place to be
so i learned to depend on me

i decided long ago, never to walk in any
one's shadows
if i fail, if i succeed
at least i live as i believe
no matter what they take from me
they can't take away my dignity
because the greatest love of all
is happening to me
i found the greatest love of all
inside of me
the greatest love of all
is easy to achieve
learning to love yourself
it is the greatest love of all
i believe the children are our future

teach them well and let them lead the wa
y

show them all the beauty they possess in
side

give them a sense of pride to make it ea
sier

let the children's laughter remind us ho
w we used to be
and if by chance, that special place
that you've been dreaming of
leads you to a lonely place
find your strength in love

置身于冷战气氛下的60年代，Simon & Garfunkel亲切祥和的歌声在某种程度上似乎化解了美国人民紧张与不安的情绪，出道的《Wednesday Morning,3A.M.》、《Sounds Of Silence》、《Parsley,Sage,Rosemary And Thyme》这3张TOP 30专辑，让两个来自纽约昆士区小镇的年轻人顿时成为家喻户晓的知音。67年初，在美国民权运动演变成暴力与党派之争之前，Simon & Garfunkel以《He Was My Brother》、《A Church Is Burning》这些颇具社会抗争的歌曲为社会整合出正义之声，衔接在Bob Dylan 66年的《Blonde On Blonde》与披头四合唱团67年的《Sgt. Pepper`s Lonely Hearts Club Band》两张经典钜作之间，Simon & Garfunkel两人在67年1月22号于`纽约市林肯中心的爱乐厅` (Philharmonic Hall)所做的现场演唱也有其时代意义，因为，就在全美渴望和平与自由的文化冲击力量沸腾燃烧之前，两人以充满天真、自信与对文学的渴望心情凝聚了现场观众的信念。

　　此张于2002年夏季重新发行的现场演唱录音专辑《Live From New York City,1967》，Simon & Garfunkel以极具浪漫的心境，透过歌声与言语的交流，贯穿演唱者与听众的情绪，发挥了歌声沟通人性的最高境界，台上与台下的情绪静静的产生一波又一波的交流，听似静谧，实而澎湃。在唱到《The Sound Of Silence》、《The Dangling Conversation》、《I Am Rock》这些描绘疏离的歌曲时，两人紧密的歌唱情绪颇有呼吁世人对抗冷漠的示范作用，而《A Most Peculiar Man》里的自杀者、《Wednesday Morning,3A.M.》的绝望小偷都道出当时游走于人生边缘的社会性格。演唱会上，Simon的原音吉他加上两人意简情深的合声不时产生一种奇妙的心灵共鸣，Garfunkel在《For Emily,Whenever I Find Her》中深层的歌唱情绪转折，或是两人突破民谣领域的摇滚唱作《A Hazy Shade Of Winter》，两人的唱作情感总是那么的深情、自在与随性，虽然是35年前的演唱会，此刻听来依然有份溢于言表的兴奋与感动。


SIMON & GARFUNKEL-LIVE FROM NEW YORK, 1967

这是他们的演唱会，我从那盘原版CD中抓轨下来的。

01 He was my brother
He was my brother
Five years older than i
He was my brother
Twenty-three years old the day he died

Freedom writer
They cursed my brother to his face
Go home outsider
This town's gonna be your buryin' place

He was singin' on his knees
An angry mob trailed along
They shot my brother dead
Because he hated what was wrong

He was my brother
Tears can't bring him back to me
He was my brother
And he died so his brothers could be free
He died so his brothers could be free

2. Leaves That Are Green

I was twenty-one years when i wrote this song.
I'm twenty-two now but i won't be for long
Time hurries on.
And the leaves that are green turn to brown,
And they wither with the wind,
And they crumble in your hand.


Once my heart was filled with the love of a girl.
I held her close, but she faded in the night
Like a poem i meant to write.
And the leaves that are green turn to brown,
And they wither with the wind,
And they crumble in your hand.

I threw a pebble in a brook
And watched the ripples run away
And they never made a sound.
And the leaves that are green turned to brown,
And they wither with the wind,
And they crumble in your hand.

Hello, hello, hello, good-bye,
Good-bye, good-bye, good-bye,
That's all there is.
And the leaves that are green turned to brown,
And they wither with the wind,
And they crumble in your hand.

03  SPARROW live.mp3

Who will love a little Sparrow?
Who's traveled far and cries for rest?
"Not I," said the Oak Tree,
"I won't share my branches with
no sparrow's nest,
And my blanket of leaves won't warm
her cold breast."

Who will love a little Sparrow
And who will speak a kindly word?
"Not I," said the Swan,
"The entire idea is utterly absurd,
I'd be laughed at and scorned if the
other Swans heard."

Who will take pity in his heart,
And who will feed a starving sparrow?
"Not I," said the Golden Wheat,
"I would if I could but I cannot I know,
I need all my grain to prosper and grow."

Who will love a little Sparrow?
Will no one write her eulogy?
"I will," said the Earth,
"For all I've created returns unto me,
From dust were ye made and dust ye shall be."

04HOMEWARD BOUND live
I'm sittin' in the railway station
Got a ticket for my destination
On a tour of one night stands
My suitcase and guitar in hand
And every stop is neatly planned
For a poet and a one man band

Homeward bound
I wish i was
Homeward bound
Home, where my thought's escaping
Home, where my music's playing
Home, where my love lies waiting
Silently for me

Everyday's an endless stream
Of cigarettes and magazines
And each town looks the same to me
The movies and the factories
And every stranger's face i see
Reminds me that i long to be

Homeward bound
I wish i was
Homeward bound
Home, where my thought's escaping
Home, where my music's playing
Home, where my love lies waiting
Silently for me

Tonight i'll sing my songs again
I'll play the game and pretend
But all my words come back to me
In shades of mediocrity
Like emptyness in harmony
I need someone to comfort me

Homeward bound
I wish i was
Homeward bound
Home, where my thought's escaping
Home, where my music's playing
Home, where my love lies waiting
Silently for me
Silently for me
Silently for me

05YOU DON'T KNOW WHERE YOUR INTEREST LIES live

You don't know that you love me
You don't know but I know that you do
You may think you're above me, yeah
What you think isn't always true

Don't try to debate me,
You should know that I'm womanly wise
Still you try to manipulate me
You don't know where your interest lies

No, you don't know where your interest lies
You don't begin to comprehend

You're just a game I like to play
You may think that we're friends all right
But I won't let friendship get in my way,
No, I won't let friendship get in my way,

Indications indicate running the same riff will turn you around
Obviously you're going to blow it,
But you don't know it

You don't know that you love me
You don't know but I know that you do
You may think that you're above me, yeah
What you think isn't always true

Don't try to debate me,
You should know that I'm womanly wise
Still you try to manipulate me
You don't know where your interest lies

No, you don't know where your interest

白兰鸽 Paloma Blanca


When the sun shines on the mountains,
And the night is on  the run,
It's a new day,
It's a new way,
And I  fly up to the sun.
  
I can feel the morning sunlight,
I can smell the new-born hay,
I can hear God's voices calling
From my golden sky-like way.
  
Una paloma blanca,
I' m just a bird in the sky.
Una paloma blanca,
Over the mountains I  fly.
No one can take my freedom away.
  
Once I had my share of losing;
Once they locked me on a chain.
Yes, they tried to break my power.
Oh,  I still can feel the pain.
  
Una paloma blanca,
I'm just a bird in the sky.
Una paloma blanca,
Over the mountains I fly.
Yes,  no one can take my freedom away.
Yes, no one can take my freedom away.
  
When the sun shines on the mountains,
And the night is on the run,
It's a new day,
It's a new way,
And I fly up to the sun.
  
Una paloma blanca,
I'm just a bird in the sky.
Una paloma blanca,
Over the mountains I fly.
No one can take my freedom away.

白兰鸽
当太阳照耀在高山上，
黑夜已经消亡，
这是新的一天，
新的生活！
我将飞向太阳。
  
我能感到早晨阳光，
我能闻到新晒干草，
我能听到上帝召唤之声，
声音来自金色天道。
  
一只白色的鸽子呀，
我只是天上一只鸟。
一只白色的鸽子呀，
我飞越群山。
没人能够剥夺我的自由。
  
有一次我也曾不幸；
有一次他们链上我，
想毁掉我的力量。
哦，至今我仍然感到痛。
  
一只白色的鸽子呀，
我只是天上一只鸟。
一只白色的鸽子呀，
我飞越群山。
没人能够剥夺我的自由。
没人能够剥夺我的自由。
  
当太阳照耀在高山上，
黑夜已经消亡，
这是新的一天，
新的生活！
我将飞向太阳。
  
一只白色的鸽子呀，
我只是天上一只鸟。
一只白色的鸽子呀，
我飞越群山。
没人能够剥夺我的自由。

Kiss Me Goodbye

  We choose it, win or lose it. Love is never quite the same. I love you, now I*ve lost you. Don*t feel bad. You*re not to blame.
   So kiss me goodbye, and I*ll try not to cry. All the tears in the world won*t change your mind. There*s someone new and she*s waiting for you. Soon your heart will be leaving me behind. Linger a while, then I*ll go with a smile. Like a friend who just happened to part. For the last time, pretend you are mine. My darling, kiss me goodbye. I know now. I must go now, though my heart wants me to stay. That girl is your tomorrow. I belong to yesterday.
   My darling, kiss me goodbye.

let it be


When I find myself in times of trouble,
Mother Mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom,
let it be
And in my hour of darkness
she is standing right in front of me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be
Let it be,
let it be,
let it be, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be
And when the broken hearted people
living in the world agree
There will be an answer,
let it be
For though they may be parted,
there is still a chance that they will see
There will be an answer,
let it be
Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be
There will be an answer,
let it be
Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom,
let it be
Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom,
let it be
(music)
And when the night is cloudy
there is still a light that shines on me
Shine until tomorrow, let it be
I wake up to the sound of music,
Mother Mary comforts me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be
Let it be, let it be, let it be,
yeah, let it be
There will be an answer, let it be
Let it be, let it be, let it be,
yeah, let it be

当我发觉自己陷入苦恼的时候
圣母玛利亚来到我面前
说着智能之语：让它去吧
在我黑暗的时刻里
她就在我的面前
说着智能之语：让它去吧

让它去吧，随它去吧
让它去吧，随它去吧
轻轻说着智能之语：让它去吧

当世上所有心碎的人们都同意
会有一个答案：让它去吧
虽然他们也许已经分手了
仍有机会可以看清楚
会有一个答案：让它去吧

让它去吧，随它去吧
让它去吧，随它去吧
轻轻说着智能之语：让它去吧

当夜晚乌云密布
有道阳光依然照耀着我
直到明日，让它去吧
我在音乐声中醒来
圣母玛利亚来到我面前
说着智能之语：让它去吧
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Rain And Tears


Rains and tears are the same        雨和泪都一样
But in the sun                  但在阳光中
You got to play the game           你得玩这个游戏
When you cry in wintertime          当你在冬天哭泣
You can't pretend                你无法假装
It's nothing but the rain          那是雨水

How many times I'v seen            多少次我看见
Tears coming from your blue eyes      泪水从你蓝眼睛中流下

Rain and tears are the same         雨和泪都一样
But in the sun                  但在阳光中
You got to play the game           你得玩这个游戏

Give me an answer,love            给我一个答案，吾爱
I need an answer,love             我需要一个答案，吾爱

Rain and tears in the sun          阳光中的雨和泪
But in your heart you feel the rain    在你心中你感觉到的是雨
The waves                     还是浪

Rain or tears both rush home        雨或泪冲刷着家园
For in my heart there never be the sun  我心里再也不会有阳光
Rain and tears are the same         雨和泪都一样
But in the sun                  但在阳光中
You got to play the game           你得玩这个游戏

06 A most peculiar man (p. simon, 1965)

He was a most peculiar man.
That's what mrs. riordan said and she should know;
She lived upstairs from him
She said he was a most peculiar man.

He was a most peculiar man.
He lived all alone within a house,
Within a room, within himself,
A most peculiar man.

He had no friends, he seldom spoke
And no one in turn ever spoke to him,
'cause he wasn't friendly and he didn't care
And he wasn't like them.
Oh, no! he was a most peculiar man.

He died last saturday.
He turned on the gas and he went to sleep
With the windows closed so he'd never wake up
To his silent world and his tiny room;
And mrs. riordan says he has a brother somewhere
Who should be notified soon.
And all the people said, "what a shame that he's dead,
But wasn't he a most peculiar man?"

07 THE 59TH STREET BRIDGE SONG

Slow down, you move too fast.
You got to make the morning last.
Just kicking down the cobble stones.
Looking for fun and feelin' groovy.

Hello lamppost,
What cha knowing?
I've come to watch your flowers growing.
Ain't cha got no rhymes for me?
Doot-in' doo-doo,
Feelin' groovy.

Got no deeds to do,
No promises to keep.
I'm dappled and drowsy and ready to sleep.
Let the morning time drop all its petals on me.
Life, i love you,
All is groovy.

08 The Dangling Conversation

it's a still life water color,
Of a now late afternoon,
As the sun shines through the curtained lace
And shadows wash the room.
And we sit and drink our coffee
Couched in our indifference,
Like shells upon the shore
You can hear the ocean roar
In the dangling conversation
And the superficial sighs,
Are the borders of our lives.

And you read your emily dickinson,
And i my robert frost,
And we note our place with bookmarkers
That measure what we've lost.
Like a poem poorly written
We are verses out of rhythm,
Couplets out of rhyme,
In syncopated time
Lost in the dangling conversation
And the superficial sighs,
Are the borders of our lives.

Yes, we speak of things that matter,
With words that must be said,
"can analysis be worthwhile?"
"is the theater really dead?"
And how the room is softly faded
And i only kiss your shadow,
I cannot feel your hand,
You're a stranger now unto me
Lost in the dangling conversation.
And the superficial sighs,
In the borders of our lives.

09 Richard Cory

They say that richard cory owns one half of this whole town,
With political connections to spread his wealth around.
Born into society, a banker's only child,
He had everything a man could want: power, grace, and style.

But i work in his factory
And i curse the life i'm living
And i curse my poverty
And i wish that i could be,
Oh, i wish that i could be,
Oh, i wish that i could be
Richard cory.

The papers print his picture almost everywhere he goes:
Richard cory at the opera, richard cory at a show.
And the rumor of his parties and the orgies on his yacht!
Oh, he surely must be happy with everything he's got.

But i work in his factory
And i curse the life i'm living
And i curse my poverty
And i wish that i could be,
Oh, i wish that i could be,
Oh, i wish that i could be
Richard cory.

He freely gave to charity, he had the common touch,
And they were grateful for his patronage and thanked him very much,
So my mind was filled with wonder when the evening headlines read:
"richard cory went home last night and put a bullet through his head."

But i work in his factory
And i curse the life i'm living
And i curse my poverty
And i wish that i could be,
Oh, i wish that i could be,
Oh, i wish that i could be
Richard cory.

10 HAZY SHADE OF WINTER

Time, time, time, see what's become of me
While i looked around
For my possibilities
I was so hard to please
But look around, leaves are brown
And the sky is a hazy shade of winter

Hear the salvation army band
Down by the riverside, it's bound to be a better ride
Than what you've got planned
Carry your cup in your hand
And look around, leaves are brown now
And the sky is a hazy shade of winter

Hang on to your hopes, my friend
That's an easy thing to say, but if your hopes should pass away
Simply pretend
That you can build them again
Look around, the grass is high
The fields are ripe, it's the springtime of my life

Ahhh, seasons change with the scenery
Weaving time in a tapestry
Won't you stop and remember me
At any convenient time
Funny how my memory slips while looking over manuscripts
Of unpublished rhyme
Drinking my vodka and lime

But look around, leaves are brown now
And the sky is a hazy shade of winter

Look around, leaves are brown
There's a patch of snow on the ground...
