无趣的前言: 　Joni Mitchell的歌，虽然得益於她的极高演奏/演唱/写曲的才华因而旋律动听， 里头的故事往往还是集合sensitivity / thoughtfulness / melancholiness於一身的。 　例如说这首 The Circle Game (from 1970 "Ladies of the Canyon" album) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pTVjCWekS1Q&feature=related#t=3m50s (→请拨放再往下看) U管有人留言说这是他童年最喜欢的旋律，常常在嘴边唱。连蒋爸蒋国男都常在当兵站哨 时让自己的内建iPod(是颞叶某处的皮质吧)不断的"放"着这首歌 ( http://www1.iwant-pop.com/a-d0012/?sn=a-d0012_20021102_01 ) 但是我实在无法把整首歌听完，副歌严重戳中了我的Sad点。跟 Those Were the Days (1968 Mary Hopkins)这首老歌有异常相似，这是deja vu感啊啊~~~ 另外就是听心之谷的乡村路 仆は行かないさ　行けない　contry road 总会有莫名的感动 ∥u∥ 总之便听边看看The Circle Game 的歌词，是蒋爸翻译，窃小修： Circle Game ----- Joni Mitchell Yesterday a child came out to wander 昨日 一个孩子来到世上漫游 Caught a dragonfly inside a jar 捕一只蜻蜓 装在广口瓶中 Fearful, when the sky was full of thunder 天空的雷声隆隆 使他感到恐惧 And tearful at the falling of a star 而流星的殒落 则使他泫然欲泣 *And the seasons, they go round and round *而季节 它们不停的转了又转 And the painted ponies go up and down 五彩缤纷的木马 上下起伏 We're captive on the carousel of time 我们被困在时光的旋转木马上 We can't return, we can only look behind from where we came 我们不能回去了 只能回首眺望来时路 And go round and round and round in the circle game 继续不停的 不停的往前转了又转 In the circle game 在这回旋的游戏里 Then the child moved ten times round the seasons 然後这个孩子 度过了十个寒与暑 Skated over ten clear, frozen streams 滑过了十次清澈的 结冰的溪流 Words like "when you're older" must appease him 「等你长大些」之类的话 一定使他感到满意 And promises of someday make his dreams 而未来的期望 组成了他的梦想 (Repeat *) Sixteen springs and sixteen summers gone now 如今十六个春天 十六个夏季已经过去 Cartwheels turn to car wheels through the town 穿梭在镇上的 已经从马车变成了汽车 And they tell him, "take your time, it won't be long now" 而人们则告诉他 慢慢来 那一天很快就会到来 Till you drag your feet to slow the circle down 你会拖着你的脚步 减缓圈圈转动的速度 (Repeat *) So the years spin by and now the boy is twenty 岁月就这样流去 而今这个男孩已经二十 Though his dreams have lost some grandeur coming true 虽然他的梦想 在实现的过程中失去了些许的颜色 There'll be new dreams, maybe better dreams and plenty 但是在那轮回的最後一年转完之前 Before the last revolving year is through 他还会有更新 甚至更好、更多的梦想出现 (Repeat *) = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = 以Joni的文采，难怪被誉为20世纪创作歌手中足以匹敌Bob Dylan(怪怪的大叔一名) 的神级人物。但说真的，讲到演唱、演奏技巧的话，後者会被电爆、瞬杀吧。 然後是天籁般的童声合唱版 笔记:::本篇重点在此 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kmJ_nGOBV-w 某福音男与462儿童版。耳尖可发现有一段中文歌词 = = https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WJYB2jB8vis #t=3m48s 「来看季节复来又复去，看小马也缤纷转呀转。你我也为了时间而讶异。」→大概吧 谢谢收看，表演加油!! 祝我生日快乐 --
