" I am on a lonely road and I am traveling Traveling, traveling, traveling Looking for something, what can it be Oh I hate you some, I hate you some I love you some Oh I love you when I forget about me I want to be strong I want to laugh along I want to belong to the living Alive, alive, I want to get up and jive I want to wreck my stockings in some jukebox dive Do you want, do you want, do you want To dance with me baby Do you want to take a chance On maybe finding some sweet romance with me baby Well, come on
All I really really want our love to do Is to bring out the best in me and in you too All I really really want our love to do Is to bring out the best in me and in you I want to talk to you, I want to shampoo you I want to renew you again and again Applause, applause, life is our cause When I think of your kisses My mind see-saws Do you see, do you see, do you see How you hurt me baby So I hurt you too Then we both get so blue
I am on a lonely road and I am traveling Looking for the key to set me free Oh the jealousy, the greed is the unraveling It's the unraveling And it undoes all the joy that could be I want to have fun, I want to shine like the sun I want to be the one that you want to see I want to knit you a sweater Want to write you a love letter I want to make you feel better I want to make you feel free Hm, hm, hm, hm, Want to make you feel free I want to make you feel free"
看到Joni,想到影片Forrest Gump 里阿甘的女友Jenny,一个背上吉他闯天下的女子。Joni出生于加拿大小镇,她兼备北欧的修长身材和苏格兰爱尔兰能歌善舞的天性。王菲在访谈中提到joni mitchell 是她最喜爱的歌手,她自己唱的旋转木马让我想到joni唱的the circle game the circle game
Yesterday a child came out to wonder Caught a dragonfly inside a jar Fearful when the sky was full of thunder And tearful at the falling of a star
Then the child moved ten times round the seasons Skated over ten clear frozen streams Words like when you're older must appease him And promises of someday make his dreams
And the seasons they go round and round And the painted ponies go up and down We're captive on the carousel of time We can't return we can only look Behind from where we came And go round and round and round In the circle game *
Sixteen springs and sixteen summers gone now Cartwheels turn to car wheels thru the town And they tell him take your time it won't be long now Till you drag your feet to slow the circles down
And the seasons they go round and round And the painted ponies go up and down We're captive on the carousel of time We can't return we can only look Behind from where we came And go round and round and round In the circle game
So the years spin by and now the boy is twenty Though his dreams have lost some grandeur coming true There'll be new dreams maybe better dreams and plenty Before the last revolving year is through
And the seasons they go round and round And the painted ponies go up and down We're captive on the carousel of time We can't return we can only look Behind from where we came And go round and round and round In the circle game
Born with the moon in Cancer Choose her a name she will answer to Call her green and the winters cannot fade her Call her green for the children who've made her Little green, be a gypsy dancer
He went to California Hearing that everything's warmer there So you write him a letter and say, "Her eyes are blue." He sends you a poem and she's lost to you Little green, he's a non-conformer
Chorus: Just a little green Like the color when the spring is born There'll be crocuses to bring to school tomorrow Just a little green Like the nights when the Northern lights perform There'll be icicles and birthday clothes And sometimes there'll be sorrow
Child with a child pretending Weary of lies you are sending home So you sign all the papers in the family name You're sad and you're sorry, but you're not ashamed Little green, have a happy ending
CHORUS:
Just a little green Like the color when the spring is born There'll be crocuses to bring to school tomorrow Just a little green Like the nights when the Northern lights perform There'll be icicles and birthday clothes And sometimes there'll be sorrow
她的一生,注定漂泊;她的心灵,向往自由。她的最爱,是绘画,是歌唱,是作曲,是如诗的歌词。几十年后,她鼓足勇气寻找送走的女儿,她的声音已经从清澈变沧桑,她柔情地为团圆的女儿和孙儿女唱一曲,“我从两边看过了云彩。。。” both sides now
Bows and flows of angel hair And ice cream castles in the air And feather canyons everywhere I've looked at clouds that way
But now they only block the sun They rain and snow on everyone So many things I would have done But clouds got in my way
I've looked at clouds from both sides now From up and down, and still somehow It's cloud illusions I recall I really don't know clouds at all
Moons and Junes and Ferris wheels The dizzy dancing way you feel As every fairy tale comes real I've looked at love that way
But now it's just another show You leave 'em laughing when you go And if you care, don't let them know Don't give yourself away
I've looked at love from both sides now From give and take, and still somehow It's love's illusions I recall I really don't know love at all
Tears and fears and feeling proud To say "I love you" right out loud Dreams and schemes and circus crowds I've looked at life that way
Oh but now old friends are acting strange They shake their heads, they say I've changed Well something's lost but something's gained In living every day
I've looked at life from both sides now From WIN and LOSE and still somehow It's life's illusions I recall I really don't know life at all
I've looked at life from both sides now From up and down and still somehow It's life's illusions I recall I really don't know life at all
