A Whiter Shade Of Pale (Brooker / Reid 1967)…..林碩彥(译)
We skipped the light fandango我倆輕舞於曼妙燈光裡
Turned cartwheels ‘cross the floor
優雅地環繞著舞池
I was feeling kinda seasick
我感到有些暈眩
But the crowd called out for more
但人群不斷喝采
The room was humming harder
整個房間都鼓噪起來
As the ceiling flew away
連天花板都要被掀出去
When we called out for another drink
當我們另外點飲料
The waiter brought a tray
侍者只端來碟子
And so it was that later
然而過一會兒之後
As the miller told his tale
主人開始訴說她的故事
That her face, as first just ghostly,
她的臉龐如初生般的朦朧
Turned a whiter shade of pale
變為一抹幽暗的蒼白
She said, there’s no reason
她說, 人世間是沒有理性
And the truth is plain to see
且真相是顯而易見的
But I wandered through my playing cards
但我卻迷失於紙醉金迷裡
And would not let her be
不致使她成為
One of sixteen vestal virgins
獻身神祇的女尼
Who were leaving for the coast
孤伶地前往海濱
And although my eyes were open
雖然我的雙眼是雪亮的
They might have just as we’ve been closed
它們仍好像是閉起來似的無知
She said, I ‘m home on shore leave,
她還說, 我在返家的陸岸上
Though in truth we were at sea
即使實際上我們還身在大洋中
So I took her by the looking glass
因此我帶著她透過鏡子
And forced her to agree
強迫她不斷去妥協
Saying, you must be the mermaid
我說, 妳必定是人魚
Who took Neptune for a ride
傳說中帶著海神遨遊
But she smiled at me so sadly
但她對我的笑意是如此悲戚
That my anger straightway died
以致使我怨憤消失殆盡
If music be the food of love
倘若音樂是愛情的食糧
Then laughter is its queen
笑聲則是音樂之根本
And likewise if behind is in front
同樣的如果後者顛倒在前方
Then dirt in truth is clean
灰塵實際上也可說是乾淨的
My mouth by then like cardboard
我的嘴當時如同紙板
Seemed to slip straight through my head
溜也似的滑過腦海
So we crash-dived straightway quickly
因而我們急速地往下潛航
And attack the ocean bed
到達無人探知的深海底

敢说我嫖。。:mad:。。:kill: 以前在厦门，有个好玩儿的咖啡馆儿老板，台湾老色狼，常在夏天的下午跟他一起听A Whiter Shade of Pale。一个很贤淑的女孩在院子里垫着脚尖儿采刚熟的桑葚，老板偷偷跟我说：你看她的屁股很长。

有老色狼
必有小色狼:obasan:
补一张
上次贴的时候死活想不起这人的名字。RICCARDO COCCIANTE后来成了拉丁流行的巨星，可他的处男作却是正儿八经的意大利PROG ROCK。由跨国KRAUTROCK名团BRAINTICKET的键盘/主脑Joel Vandroogenbroeck操刀，带来一张人声主导PROG的上品。
还有就是包装，实在:sese:！！！俺买下它就是冲着套子去的，哈哈

是牙牙啦：） 昨天看BIG CHILL又听到了A Whiter Shade of Pale:yearn: an awful shade of blue 我靠。听的真杂， 看来大家的眼光都落在了些psy－rock，prog东西上了，好遗憾那个年代没有多听，只听了Pink Floyd和Tangerine Dream，记得着也只有一些感觉，更加没怎研究后面是谁在贡献着什么～～～～
看中了marvin gaye和Isaac Hayes，这些old school骚灵不知有没有人喜欢呢？？
自己喜欢的还有Lalo Schifrin的black willow和The Crusaders的Free as the Wind都是些很是令人雀跃的jazz funk。
喜欢那种旧旧的感觉，不嫌弃可以听听ALICIA KEYS的新碟，有点作风！
提起MARVIN GAYE其实他还有一张值得留意的 What's Going On ！！！ 与LET'S GET IT ON简直就像一set的！

WHATS GOING ON是我最最最爱的碟之一咯:lol:
今年听到了好多OTIS REDDING和ISAAC HAYES的东东，好喜欢哦
遇上老灵歌的同好要拥抱一下儿：）） 突然发现竟把我今年黑乐的头牌给漏掉了
EDWIN STARR啊。。。俺对不起你:tearing:
http://image.allmusic.com/00/amg/cov200/drf000/f017/f01775e1ybz.jpg 哇～～ 好经典兼老旧啊～～:nbe: 像在听酒吧的点唱机一样。
虽然都是soul和jazz funk可我一般能介绍很是blues或rock的那种，像
说道soul，我喜欢的是smooth点的，像Burt Bacharach 的或Dusty Springfield，Dionne Warwick。嘻嘻～～ 基本上都是些女歌手。:sese:
好像看起来，我的更像bar放的。。。 哦！喜欢Burt Bacharach
更热爱Dusty Springfield
那么多的THE LOOK OF LOVE
只有DUSTY的版本真正叫人迷醉。
DUSTY在孟菲斯的录音每回一钻进我的CD机，不播个5，6遍是绝不肯出来的：）
