The Brothers Four 四兄弟演唱組民謠歌曲欣賞

[c]美國民謠經典組合 --- 「四兄弟」合唱團組建於1958年，成員是華盛頓大學的4名學生，Bob Flick，Michael Kirkland，John Paine和Dick Foley。他們在教友社團里結識並開始合唱生涯。 1959年「四兄弟」與哥倫比亞唱片公司簽約，並迅速以一首「綠草地」(Greenfields)打入排行榜。

「四兄弟」合唱團的音樂大多以原聲木吉他、木貝司、班卓琴、曼駝林伴奏，並配以完美的四個聲部和音。 不管是對美國阿巴拉契亞地區民間歌曲的改編，還是對當今世上創作歌手作品的重新演繹，「四兄弟」合唱團一貫保持著他們圓潤悅耳且具有專業水準的的演唱風格。可以說他們的音樂是美國音樂中的永恆經典並廣為世界各國的人們所喜愛。

1996年「四兄弟」合唱團曾來中國大陸訪問演出，獲得了巨大的成功。他們的音樂更可被稱做美國音樂，因為他們的歌曲和故事紮根於美國傳統民謠音樂的巨大寶庫里。他們是「民謠復興」運動中為數不多的、作品在今天依然被人們廣為傳唱的先驅之一。

The Brothers Four 是一個四重唱演唱組，最經典的歌曲應該算是「Where have all the flowers gone」。這首歌的中文譯名是「花落誰家」，很有詩意，但是它要表達的卻不是詩意、愛情。

[CENTER]Where have all the flowers gone?
Long time passing.
Where have all the flowers gone?
Long time ago.
Where have all the flowers gone?
The girls have picked them every one.
Oh, when will you ever learn?
Oh, when will you ever learn? ...... [/COLOR][/CENTER]

這首歌是六十年代著名的反戰歌曲，歌詞大意是：姑娘們摘取了花朵，小夥子娶了姑娘，小夥子上了戰場，最終都到了墳墓。墳墓建在花叢中...... 在when will you ever learn?的低吟淺唱當中，他們表達了對戰爭的厭惡和無奈。

[c]《Try To Remember》

From the musical "The Fantasticks"
Try to remember the kind of September
when life was slow and oh, so mellow.
Try to remember the kind of September
when gras was green and grain was yellow.
Try to remember the kind of September
you were a tender and callow fellow.

Try to remember and if you rememer, then follow,
(echo) follow, follow, follow, follow
follow, follow, follow, follow.
Try to remember when life was so tender
that no one wept except the willow.
Try to remember when life was so tender
that dreams were kept beside your pillow.
Try to remember when life was so tender
that love was an ember about to billow.
[chorus]
Deep in December it's nice to remember it's nice
to remember altho' you know the snow will follow.
Deep in December it's nice to remember it's nice
to remember without a hurt the heart is hollow.
Deep in December it's nice to remember it's nice
to remember the fire of September that made use mellow. [/c]

[c]《Yellow Bird》鳥兒
Yellow bird,
up high in banana tree.
Yellow bird,
you sit all alone like me.
Did your lady friend leave the nest again?
That is very sad,
makes me feel so bad.
You can fly away,
in the sky away.
You\'re more lucky than me.
I also had a pretty girl,
she\'s not with me today.
They\'re all the same those pretty girls.
Take tenderness, then they fly away.
Yellow bird, yellow bird.
Did your lady friend leave the nest again?
That is very sad, makes me feel so bad.
You can fly away, in the sky away.
You\'re more lucky than me.
Wish that I were a yellow bird,
I\'d fly away with you.
But I am not a yellow bird,
so here I sit Nothing I can do.
Yellow bird, yellow bird.

《Seven Daffodils》（七朵水仙花）

I may not have a mansion
I havent any land
Not even a paper dollar
To twinkle in my hand
But I can show you morning
On a thousand hills
And kiss you and give you seven daffodils

I do not have a fortune
To buy you pretty thing
But I can weave you moonbeams
For necklaces and rings
And I can show you morning
On a thousand hills
And kiss you and give you seven daffodils
Oh， seven golden daffodils

All shinning in the sun
To light our way to evening
When our day is done
And I will give you music
And a crust of bread
A pillow of piney boughs
To rest your head
A pillow of piney boughs
To rest your head[/c]

[c]500 Miles 離家五百里
500 miles - the brother four
if you miss the train i'm on
you will know that i am gone
you can hear the whistle blow
a hundred miles
a hundred miles a hundred miles
a hundred miles a hundred miles
you can hear the whistle bow
a hundred miles
lord i'm one lord i'm two
lord i'm three lord i'm four
lord i'm five hundred miles
away home
away home away home
away home away home
lord i'm five hundred miles

not a shirt on my back
not a penny to my name
lord i can't go back home
this away

lord i can't go back home this away
if you miss the train i'm on
you will know that i am gone
you can hear the whistle blow
a hundred miles[/c]
