Seasons in the Sun

Seasons in the Sun

Goodbye to you, my trusted friend

We've known each other since we were nine or ten

Together we've climbed hills and trees

Learned of love and ABC's

Skinned our hearts and skinned our knees

[Bryan:]

Goodbye, my friend, it's hard to die

When all the birds are singing in the sky

Now that spring is in the air

Pretty girls are everywhere

Think of me and I'll be there

[All:]

We had joy, we had fun, we had seasons in the sun

But the hills that we climbed were just seasons out of time

[Shane:]

Goodbye, Papa, please pray for me

I was the black sheep of the family

You tried to teach me right from wrong

Too much wine and too much song 

Wonder how I got along

[Mark:]

Goodbye, Papa, it's hard to die

When all the birds are singing in the sky

Now that the spring is in the air

Little children everywhere

When you see them I'll be there

[All:]

We had joy, we had fun, we had seasons in the sun

But the wine and the song like the seasons have all gone

We had joy, we had fun, we had seasons in the sun

But the wine and the song like the seasons have all gone

[Nicky:]

Goodbye, Michelle, my little one

You gave me love and helped me find the sun

And every time that I was down

You would always come around

And get my feet back on the ground

[Shane:]

Goodbye, Michelle, it's hard to die

When all the birds are singing in the sky

Now that the spring is in the air

With the flowers everywhere

I wish that we could both be there

[All:]

We had joy, we had fun, we had seasons in the sun

But the hills that we climbed were just seasons out of time

We had joy, we had fun, we had seasons in the sun

But the wine and the song like the seasons have all gone

We had joy, we had fun, we had seasons in the sun

But the wine and the song like the seasons have all gone

We had joy, we had fun, we had seasons in the sun

But the wine and the song like the seasons have all gone

这首歌也许很久很久以前就听过了吧... 只是在大学的某一年，一听就记得那旋律了...
从那个时候开始，一直都只是听而已.. 只知道这旋律很顺、很易记..直到今天，突然间好想看看那真正的歌词...
一看... 就有种感觉 - 这首歌背后应该存在某种意义..
结果就去找了伟大的谷先生 (Mr. Google)..
果然，这歌不简单...~

Seasons in the sun.. 阳光季节...
看歌名，像是一首非常阳光、充满盼望的歌吧？
至少在今天之前，我一直都是这样认为的...
旋律很轻松，感觉就是一首很开心、很阳光的歌..
可是当看了真正的歌词，还有整首歌背后的故事后，就明白了这其实是一首极为悲伤的歌～
这首歌其实一开始是源自于一首法国歌曲 Le Moribond (意思为“临终的人”）..
我去找了这首原创来听... 其实感觉很恐怖.. 因为不明白法国音调，加上如此悲哀的意思.. 可以说实在，我听不下去～

Seasons in the sun... 诉说着一段故事，一段三角恋的故事...
简单来说就是，两个男主角喜欢上一个女主角，女主角和第一男主角结婚了，有了孩子...
后来因某些原因，女主角和第二男主角出轨了，被第一男主角发现后，就把他们双双击毙～
最后留下了一个女儿，名为Michelle..
我就是看到歌词说“爸爸，请为我祈祷”，再加上Michelle这个名字，让我顿时觉得这背后有故事，而且极大可能是一个悲伤的故事...
果然如此.....~

后来再听，就是以着另外一种心情了～
有悲哀、有希望.....
