Suzanne Vega《Tom’s Dinner》（据说是全世界第一首mp3)

作者：admin 更新时间：2019-12-13 点击数：所属博物馆：

Suzanne Vega号称是美国民谣才女。她令民谣复兴于80年代流行乐坛，1987年她出版了第二张专辑「Solitude Standing」，以一首关怀受虐儿的单曲「Luka」为她在乐坛打响了知名度，让1985年即在歌坛出道的她，尝到了走红的滋味。而专辑中的另一首”纯清唱”单曲「Tom’s Dinner」更是令人惊艳。

《Tom’s Dinner》最初是纯清唱版本，叫好不叫坐，三年后，两位英国舞曲制作人将其加上较重的节奏，重新混音成一首舞曲，结果全球风行。据说，全世界第一首mp3就是《Tom’s Dinner》。

As I'm listening

我听着

To the bells

Of the cathedral

钟声

I am thinking

脑子里想着

Of your voice

And of the midnight picnic

和午夜的野餐

Once upon a time

从前呀

Before the rain began

雨还没有开始下的时候...

I finish up my coffee

我喝完咖啡了

It's time to catch the train

该去赶火车了

英文歌词

I am sitting in the morning

At the diner on the corner

I am waiting at the counter

For the man to pour the coffee

And he fills it only halfway

And before I even argue

He is looking out the window

At somebody coming in

"It is always nice to see you"

Says the man behind the counter

To the woman who has come in

She is shaking her umbrella

And I look the other way

As they are kissing their hellos

I'm pretending not to see them

And instead I pour the milk

And I open up the paper

There's a story of an actor

Who had died while he was drinking

It was no one I had heard of

And I'm turning to the horoscope

And looking for the funnies

When I'm feeling someone watching me

And so I raise my head

There's a woman on the outside

Looking inside. Does she see me?

No she does not really see me

Cause she sees her own reflection

And I'm trying not to notice

That she's hitching up her skirt

And while she's straightening her stockings

Her hair has gotten wet

Oh, this rain it will continue

Through the morning as I'm listening

To the bells of the cathedral

I am thinking of your voice…

And of the midnight picnic

Once upon a time before the rain began…

I finish up my coffee

It's time to catch the train
