歌词
California - Joni Mitchell
坐在巴黎的公园里
读着报上糟糕的新闻
Sitting in a park in Paris, France
他们不给和平一个机会
Reading the news and it sure looks bad
和平只是我们一部分人的梦
They won't give peace a chance
大片河山尽收眼底
That was just a dream some of us had
但我仍然不愿留下
[00:29.87][00:40.67][00:51.09][01:15.89][01:32.49][01:41.97][02:01.07][02:47.61][02:55.11][03:04.92][03:09.64][03:22.88][03:31.63][03:36.68]
这儿太旧太冷 除非你愿自生自灭
Still a lot of lands to see
哦 除了加利福利亚
But I wouldn't want to stay here
加利福利亚 我回来啦
It's too old and cold and settled in its ways here
我要去看看我挖苦过的人们
Oh, but California
我甚至会亲吻一头黄昏的猪
[00:44.04][02:31.32][02:41.72]California I'm coming home
加利福利亚 我回来啦
I'm going to see the folks I dig
我在希腊岛上碰到一个红脖子
I'll even kiss a Sunset pig
正逗着山羊快意起舞
I met a redneck on a Grecian isle
他报我以微笑
Who did the goat dance very well
但他执意要买我的相机
He gave me back my smile
哦 这个无赖 这个红脖子无赖！
But he kept my camera to sell
他能做一手很棒的鸡蛋饼和炖菜
Oh the rogue, the red red rogue
因而我顺便留在那儿用饭
He cooked good omelettes and stews
但我的心始终呼唤着你 加利福利亚
And I might have stayed on with him there
哦 加利福利亚 我回来啦
But my heart cried out for you, California
哦 我就快看到伟大的摇滚乐队
Oh California I'm coming home
我是你们的铁粉
Oh make me feel good rock'n roll band
加利福利亚 我回来啦
I'm your biggest fan
哦 多么孤独
California, I'm coming home
当你走啊走
[02:51.00]Oh it gets so lonely
街上挤满了陌生的面孔
[02:55.80]When you're walking
你读的所有有关家乡的新鲜事
[02:57.63]And the streets are full of strangers
只会给你徒添悲伤
[03:00.79]All the news of home you read
只会给你徒添悲伤
[01:55.00]Just gives you the blues
所以我买了张票
So I bought me a ticket
飞赴西班牙
I caught a plane to Spain
参加红土地上的聚会
Went to a party down a red dirt road
许多体面的人聚集于此
There were lots of pretty people there
谈论着滚石杂志和时尚潮流
Reading Rolling Stone, reading Vogue
他们说 “你还能飘多久呢”
They said, "How long can you hang around?"
我说 “一到两周吧
I said "a week, maybe two,
直到我的皮肤晒成古铜色
Just until my skin turns brown
然后我就回我的加利福利亚”
Then I'm going home to California"
加利福利亚 我回来啦
Oh will you take me as I am
哦 你还会待我如初吗
Strung out on another man
你却吸毒成瘾判若两人
More about the war
加利福利亚 我回来啦
And the bloody changes
哦 多么孤独
Oh will you take me as I am?
当你走啊走
[03:18.44]Will you take me as I am?
街上挤满了陌生的面孔
Will you?
你读的所有有关家乡的新鲜事
[03:32.71]take me as I am?
