這兩首歌曲是由六七零年代成軍於加州三蕃市San Francisco的迷幻民謠搖滾樂團 -- It’s a beautiful day的首張專輯. 他們帶著清新脫俗的優雅樂風是非常討喜. 樂團裡小提琴的編制讓他們的音樂有了弦樂營造出來的飄逸旋律.他們的音樂也可以是輕盈悅耳的. 在盲眼的女孩一曲中,一開始大鍵琴[harpsichord]鋪陳出來的旋律美的令人動容,再搭配上優美的男女雙聲交互合唱.略帶哀愁的歌曲氛圍讓聽者感染到一種深沉的無助.提琴的伴奏將歌曲染上一層淡藍, 唯美而令人感動.
總之,我實在太喜歡這張專輯,希望絞盡腦汁的描述能夠讓大家有機會一聞他們的好音樂.另附上自己翻譯的歌詞,詞義不盡然是正確的,還請多多包含.

Girl With No Eyes 盲眼的女孩

There’s a girl in my room and her face on the wall with no eyes.
There’s a girl in my room and her face on the wall with no eyes.
有個女孩在我房裡，眼盲的她面對著牆壁

Girl with no eyes,　
who can she be?　　
Girl with no eyes, 盲了眼的女孩，她會是誰呢？

she’s looking at me.　我們正互相望著對方

There’s a girl in my room and her face on the wall with no eyes.
有個女孩在我房裡，眼盲的她面對著牆壁

If I make a sound she’ll know that I’m stirring inside.　
If I make a sound she’ll know that I’m trying to hide.
如果我發出聲音，她就知道我在房裡走動
如果我發出聲音，她就知道我正試著躲開

Girl with no eyes,　失去了眼睛的女孩
who can she be?　　她會是誰呢？
Girl with no eyes,　 失去了眼睛的女孩
she’s looking at me.　他正在看著我
Beautiful girl,　　　美麗的女孩
who does she see?　她看見了誰呢？
Beautiful girl,
she seems to be staring.　她看起來像是在凝視

Doesn’t eveybody know, everybody know,love takes a lifetime.
And doesn’t everbody know,everbody know,love is the eye sight,
難道大家不知道愛是需要花一輩子去體驗的嗎？
難道大家不知道愛就是看見的感動

it’s the eye sight of a lifetime.
這看見的感動是一輩子的

She’s just a reflection of all of the time that’s gone by.　
She’s just a reflection of all of the time I’ve been high.
盲眼女孩只是所有逝去時光的反射
她只是所有我曾擁有過美好時光的反照

Girl with no eyes,
who can she be?
Girl with no eyes,
she’s looking at me.
Beautiful girl,
who does she see?
Beautiful girl,
she seems to be staring.

Doesn’t eveybody know, everybody know,
love takes a lifetime.
And doesn’t everbody know, everbody know,
love is the eye sight,
it’s the eye sight of a lifetime.

White Bird 　白鴿

White bird,　
in a golden cage, 在金色龍裡的白鴿啊
on a winter’s day, in the rain. 在冬日的雨裡

White bird,
in a golden cage, alone. 在金色龍裡的白鴿是孤獨的

The leaves blow,
Across the long black road. 被吹起的落葉穿過了既長又暗的道路
To the darkened skies,
in its rage 直到烏雲密佈,狂怒氛圍瀰漫的不安天際

But the white bird just sits in her cage, alone.
但白鴿只是孤獨的待在它的金色龍裡

White bird must fly
Or she will die
展翅吧,白鴿. 否則的話只有死路一條

White bird,
dreams of the aspen trees,
with their dying leaves,
turning gold. 白鴿啊,夢見山楊樹上已凋零的葉子又鮮活了起來

But the white bird just sits in her cage,
growing old. 但白鴿只是待在它的金色龍裡慢慢老去

White bird must fly or she will die.
White bird must fly or she will die. 展翅吧,白鴿. 否則只有一死


The sunsets come, the sunsets go.
The clouds pile high,the air moves slow.
And the young bird’s eyes do always know.
日出日落
高處雲朵堆疊, 微風輕柔地吹著
年輕的鳥兒看在眼裡, 他們知道

She must fly,
She must fly,
She must fly. 展翅吧,白鴿

White bird,
In a golden cage,
On a winter’s day, in the rain.

White bird,
In a golden cage alone.

White bird must fly or she will die.
White bird must fly or she will die.
White bird must fly or she will die.
