0728 Hell Among The Yearlings--Gillian Welch

🌟🌟🌟🌟

这是Gillian Welch 的第二张录音室音乐专辑,发表在1998年的7月28日。
这张专辑 Gillian Welch 与 David Rawlings 已经在合作了,此后他们一直合作到了现在,3年之后Gillian Welch才会发布那张让她彻底走红的「TIme」。
如果你喜欢民谣,就不会错过Gillian Welch,她身上有个标签是什么「新传统主义」,也够绕的。她的歌里面大量使用了班卓琴,有的歌还有那么一点点诡异,比如这首《Caleb Meyer》,被称之为谋杀民谣(murder ballad)。
Caleb Meyer, he lived alone
In them hollering pines
And he made a little whiskey for himself
Said it helped to pass the time
凯勒布·迈耶独自生活
住在呼啸的松林间
他自酿了一点威士忌
说那能帮他打发时光
⸻
Long one evening in back of my house
Caleb come around
And he called my name ‘til I went out
With no one else around
某个黄昏,在我家后头
凯勒布悄悄来到
他一再呼唤我的名字
直到我走出去,四下无一人
⸻
Caleb Meyer, your ghost is gonna
Wear them rattling chains
But when I go to sleep at night
Don’t you call my name
凯勒布·迈耶,你的鬼魂将会
拖着叮当作响的铁链游荡
可当我夜里入睡
别再来叫我的名字
⸻
Where’s your husband, Nellie Kane
Where’s your darling gone?
Did he go on down the mountainside
And leave you all alone?
“你的丈夫去哪了,内莉·凯恩?
你心爱的人跑哪去了?”
“他是不是顺着山坡走下去
把你孤零零地留下?”
⸻
Yes, my husband’s gone to Bowling Green
To do some business there
Then Caleb threw a bottle ‘cross the floor
And broke a chair
“是的,我丈夫去了博灵格林
他到那儿去办点事”
随后凯勒布朝地上扔了一瓶酒
还把椅子砸了个粉碎
⸻
Caleb Meyer, your ghost is gonna
Wear them rattling chains
But when I go to sleep at night
Don’t you call my name
凯勒布·迈耶,你的鬼魂将会
拖着叮当作响的铁链游荡
可当我夜里入睡
别再来叫我的名字
⸻
I threw myself against the wall
And I tore my dress in shame
And he pinned me down on the floor
My tears they fell like rain
我狠狠撞向墙壁
羞愧中撕破了自己的裙子
他将我压倒在地
我的泪水如雨般落下
⸻
The knife was in my hand and I
Stuck it in his head
And I felt his blood run fast and hot
Around me where I lay
我的手中握着一把刀
我将它刺入他的头颅
我感觉他的血迅速滚烫地
流淌在我躺着的地方
⸻
Caleb Meyer, your ghost is gone
To wear them rattling chains
But when I go to sleep at night
Don’t you call my name
凯勒布·迈耶,你的鬼魂已经走了
将永远拖着叮当作响的铁链
可当我夜里入睡
别再来叫我的名字
