簡介
維拉·林出生於1917年3月20日,她的歌唱事業在二戰期間到達頂峰。有“軍中甜心”稱號。唱過很多戰爭歌曲。這首《多佛白崖》是她的代表作之一。多佛白崖是英格蘭的象徵之一,二戰時期,德國對英國進行了狂轟濫炸。在這種背景下,這首《多佛白崖》就具有了一種撫慰人心的力量。儘管戰火連天、炸彈聲隆隆在耳。戰爭總有一天會結束,堅強勇敢的人們終會重建家園。暴風雨過後,必定會有藍天,那象徵著英格蘭的多佛白崖的天空,也必將會有小鳥飛過。也許,就在明天……
原文歌詞
Artist: Vera Lynn
Song: (There'll Be Bluebirds Over) The White Cliffs of Dover
There'll be bluebirds over
The white cliffs of Dover
Tomorrow
Just you wait and see
I'll never forget the people I met
Braving those angry skies
I remember well as the shadows fell
The light of hope in their eyes
And though I'm far away
I still can hear them say
Bombs up...
But when the dawn comes up
There'll be bluebirds over
The white cliffs of Dover
Tomorrow
Just you wait and see
There'll be love and laughter
And peace ever after
Tomorrow
When the world is free
The shepherd will tend his sheep
The valley will bloom again
And Jimmy will go to sleep
In his own little room again
There'll be bluebirds over
The white cliffs of Dover
Tomorrow
Just you wait and see
There'll be bluebirds over
The white cliffs of Dover
Tomorrow
Just you wait and see...
