強力推薦 Chris de Burgh (克利斯‧迪博夫)的歌

他是位擅長說故事的抒情詩人，被封為”英國吟唱詩人”

生涯至今發行18張專輯，超過50項音樂大獎得主；200張白金及金唱片紀錄，

全球銷量累積突破4500萬張，他早已注定是名留樂壇的經典人物!

其詩意的詞彙、優美的旋律，以及數十年如一日的嘹亮嗓音，

都是後繼者無法模仿、獨一無二的招牌標誌，

已逝世的黛安娜王妃、前俄羅斯總統葉爾欽都是他的忠實歌迷，

在國內，齊秦、齊豫、陳淑樺、辛曉琪等歌手也競相翻唱他的歌曲。

其中的這ㄧ首是英文課時老師給大家聽的，我好喜歡~


Chris De Burgh - The Girl With April in Her Eyes


There once was a king, who called for the spring,
For his world was still covered with snow,
But the spring had not been, for he was wicked and mean,
In his winter fields nothing would grow;
And when a traveller called, seeking help at the door,
Only food and a bed for a night,
He ordered his slave to turn her away,
The girl with april in her eyes...

Oh, oh, oh, on and on she goes,
Through the winter’s night, the wild wind and the snow,
Hi, hi, hi, on and on she rides,
Someone help the girl with april in her eyes...



She rode through the night till she came to the light,
Of a humble man’s home in the woods,
He brought her inside, by the firelight she died,
And he buried her gently and good;
Oh the morning was bright, all the world snow-white,
But when he came to the place where she lay,
His field was ablaze with flowers on the grave,
Of the girl with april in her eyes...

Oh, oh, oh, on and on she goes,
Through the winter’s night, the wild wind and the snow,
Hi, hi, hi, on and on she flies,
She is gone, the girl with april in her eyes...
