從前聽這首歌的時候,
是在愛音樂,
想聽各種不同東西的時期.
囫圇吞棗的狀況下聽來的.
愛它旋律優美, 淡淡的哀傷.
Whoever Finds This, I Love You
(Mac Davis , 1972)
On the quiet street in the city
A little old man walked alone
Shuffing through the autumn afternoon
And the autumn leaves reminded him
Another summers come and gone
He had a long long midnight ahead waiting for June
The among the leaves near an orphans home
A piece of paper caught his eyes
And he stood to pick it up with trembling hands
And as he read the childish writing
The old man began to cry
Cause the words burned inside him like a brand
" Whoever finds this, I love you
Whover finds this, I need you
I even got no one to talk to
So, whoever finds this, I love you "
Well, the old mans eyes searched the orphans home
And came to rest upon a child
With her nose pressed up against the window pane
And the old man knew hed found a friend at last
So he waved at her and smiled
And they both knew theyd spend the winter
Laughing at the rain
And they did spend the winter laughing at the rain ,
Talking through the fence,
Exchanging little gifts theyve made for each other.
The old man wold carve toys,
And the little girl would draw pictures fo beautiful ladies
And they laughed a lot.
But then one day, on the first of June,
The lttle girl ran to the fence --
the old man wasn there.
And , somehow she knew he was never coming beck.
So she went back to her lttle room , took a crayon
And wrote :
" Whoever finds this, I love you
Whover finds this, I need you
I even got no one to talk to
So, whoever finds this, I love you"
誰撿到這張紙條, 我愛你
(Mac Davis , 1972)
城裡寂靜的街道上
一個老人獨自走著
打發秋日午後
一地的落葉提醒他
又一個夏季過去了
在下個六月來臨前
還有許許多多孤獨的夜, 要他度過
孤兒院附近的一堆落葉裡
老人發現一張紙條
他用顫抖的雙手撿起紙條
他讀起紙上童稚的筆跡時
淚水忍不住落下了
因為那些字像火炬一樣地
在他心中灼熱的燃燒
------
誰撿到這張紙條, 我愛你
誰撿到這張紙條, 我需要你
我甚至連個說說話的人都沒有
所以, 無論誰撿到這張紙條, 我愛你
------
於是老人雙眼搜尋著孤兒院最後,
停在一個小女孩身上
小女孩鼻頭抵著玻璃窗
老人心想
" 我終於找到了一個朋友 "
於是他含笑對她揮手
兩人都知道, 他們將會在笑聲, 雨聲中
度過這個寒冬
就這樣,
隔著矮牆, 他們在笑聲, 雨聲中
度過一個寒冬
他們交換彼此親手做的禮物
老人雕刻玩具小女孩則在紙上畫著美女
他們是那麼的喜悅
直到有一天,
恰巧是六月的第一天
小女孩像往常一樣跑向牆邊
老人卻沒出現
那一刻她似乎知道, 老人不會再回來了
於是她黯然回到自己的小房間
拿起蠟筆, 又開始寫:
------
誰撿到這張紙條, 我愛你
誰撿到這張紙條, 我需要你
我甚至連個說說話的人都沒有所以,
無論誰撿到這張紙條, 我愛你
------
多少年過了
再聽這首歌,
旋律還是優美, 仍舊有淡淡的哀傷.
不過當初小夥子長大了, 變老了
這回換我這個老人來寫:
" 誰看到這篇文章, 我愛你 "
