Track 10

One summer night he'll light a lantern
He'll catch a tiny1)frefy in a jar
Set her dancing on the2)mantle
Like a piece of star
See how the boy3)lays low
He wants the4)shiver in her wing
See him hiding in the5)willow
Playing with lightning
*You don't know me (You don't know me)
I don't know you (I don't know you)
And the summer's come again
My oh my, the6)sparks are fying
All over Lousianne注*
There's lots of fshes in the sea
I7)swear I'm gonna catch one in my hand
Make him dance for me in the frying pan
You don't know me (You don't know me)
I don't know you (I don't know you)
And the summer's come again
My oh my, the fsh are fying
All over Lousianne
In your eyes there's a light
It comes and it goes without a sound
If I hold on tight
It's gonna8)burn me to the ground
Repeat*
Our lives go by like sparks are fying
All over Lousianne

在夏日的夜晚,他会点亮灯盏
捕捉一只小小的萤火虫,放进瓶中
任它在灯罩之上舞动
仿若一点星光
看那男孩如何隐匿自己
他渴望看到它颤动的双翼
看他隐身柳下
与闪光嬉戏
*你不认识我(你不认识我)
我亦不识你(我亦不识你)
重又夏日
哦,那点点萤火在飞舞
点缀着路易斯安那*

大海里游鱼满溢
我发誓一定要亲手捉住一尾
让它为我跃动在煎锅里
你不认识我(你不认识我)
我亦不识你(我亦不识你)
重又夏日
哦,鱼儿翻飞
穿梭在路易斯安那
你眼中闪烁着一道光
寂寂然忽明忽暗
假若我紧抓不放
它便将我彻底灼伤
重复*
我们的人生似那飞舞的萤火
消散在路易斯安那

詹妮弗·沃恩斯(Jennifer Warnes)这个名字对于我们大多数人来说,估计都是陌生的。詹妮弗于1947年生于美国西雅图,在她红极一时的时候,我们可能还未降生。但在音乐的世界里,时空之差永远都算不得是距离。只要两颗心离得够近,即便是相隔千万里,乐声也能引起你的共鸣。詹妮弗的音乐便是如此,虽隔了遥远的时空,却也能唤起人心底的律动。加拿大著名诗人、歌手伦纳德·科恩(Leonard Cohen)曾盛赞道:“她的嗓音就像加州的天气,充满着阳光,背后却又隐藏着如地震般强大的能量。”(“Her voice is like the California weather, flled with sunlight. But there's an earthquake behind it.”)詹妮弗的声音好似天生就带着引人感怀与念旧的丝丝情意,让人不由得沉醉在她用歌声织就的网里。……
