歌曲簡介
六十年代美國民謠團體The Brothers Four最為國人所熟悉的歌應該就是 Try to Remember(試著回憶),這是一首發表於1965年的名副其實的“老”歌。《玻璃之城》里,Try to Remember一遍一遍的響起,很多人從這裡認識了它。而這首歌的特別之處也在於,即使是初聽也會有似曾相識的感覺。或許是因為歌唱的就是回憶吧

Try to remember
The kind of September
When life was slow and also mellow;
Try to remember
The kind of September
When grass was green and grain was yellow.
Try to remember
The kind of September
When you were
A young and callow fellow;
Try to remember
And if you remember,
Then follow, follow...
Deep in December
It's nice to remember
Although you know
The snow will follow;
Deep in December
It's nice to remember
The fire of September
That made us mellow;
Deep in December
Our hearts should remember,
And follow, follow...
Try to remember
The kind of September
When grass was green and ,grain was yellow.
Try to remember
The kind of september
When you were
A young and callow fellow;
Try to remember
And if you remember,
Then follow, follow…
[參考譯文]
試著回憶
那九月的日子:
日子悠閒並且香醇;
試著回憶
那九月的日子:
草兒青青,穀物金黃。
試著回憶
那九月的日子;
當時你
還是個年輕幼稚的孩子;
試著回憶
如果你能回憶,
那就回憶,回憶。
深冬十二月,
值得回憶,
儘管你知道,
雪要來了。
深冬十二月,
值得回憶,
九月的火,
使我們成熟,
深冬十二月,
我們的心應記住,
那就記住,記住。
試著回憶
那九月的日子:
草兒青青,穀物金黃。
試著回憶
那九月的日子:
當時你
還是個年輕幼稚的孩子;
試著回憶
如果你能回憶,
那就回憶,回憶。
賞析
這首歌由四兄弟合唱團演唱。
試回首,那九月里生活悠閒,日子香醇。這是對怡然自在的生活方式的追求。這種生活能把許多不快趕走。
試回首,想那九月的景色:草兒青青、穀物金黃、一片生命的顏色,一派豐收在望的景象。
試回首,想起那時的你還是年輕稚子,也許還很天真,不怎么懂事。
深冬十二月也值得回憶。十二月之景雖沒青草黃谷,但有白雪蓋地。九月的火使我們百鍊成熟。十二月隨九月之後,我們則更為老練。所以這十二月也應記住。
這是一首追憶往日生活的歌曲,沒有愛情歌曲的喜樂哀愁,卻發現生活中仍有許多事值得我們去回憶,去思慮。
