淡滋味中，一种无力挽回的哀伤 Connie Dover <I Am Going to The West> - 德化论坛

Connie Dover是美国本土密苏里州人，在美国本土的一个爱尔兰乐队scartaglen中出名，以往我们接触的celtic美声大多都是来自欧洲大陆，这个美国漂亮歌手饱含celtic风的歌声却使我不得不赞叹celtic音乐的魅力和影响是多么的巨大。仔细听她的音乐中，民谣和美声的成分居多。用了大量celtic特有的乐器，却也不忘加上点标志美国民谣的吉他声..这个金发美女不仅人美歌靓，自己也是个键盘手和作曲家，本专辑中就有好多歌曲是她自己作曲改编的。

Connie Dover 的声音很平稳，就像砂漏里的砂往下流过一样，淡淡的，看不出什么滋味，口感却又很深远，不过，就像 CD 听完可以重来，沙漏滴完可以再翻转过来，时间却还是一样离开，淡滋味中，有一种无力挽回的哀伤。

I Am Going to The West

In this fair land, I’ll stay no more

Here labor is in vain

I’ll seek the mountains far away

And leave the fertile plain

Where waves of grass in oceans roll

Into infinity

I stand ready on the shore

To cross the inland sea

I am going to the West

Chorus

You say you will not go with me

You turn your eyes away

You say you will not follow me

No matter what I say

I am going to the West

I am going to the West

I will journey to the place

That was shaped by heaven hand

And I will build for me a bower

Where angels?footprints mark the land

Where castle rocks in towers high

Kneel to valleys wild and green

All my thoughts are turned to you,

My waking hope, my sleeping dream

I am going to the West

And when sun gives way to moon

And silver starlight fills the sky

In the arms of these last hills

Is where I bound to lie

Wind, my blanket, earth, my bed

My canopy, a tree

Willows by the river edge

Will whisper me to sleep

I am going to the West
