第一次听到这首歌,还真以为它是首情歌, 仔细听其实是一首带有浓郁民谣唱腔的思乡之歌,描述了远离家乡后依依不舍又孤寂的心情。
演唱者是凯尔特女人组合中的 Lisa Kelly :她有着一个明亮高亢,充满活力,又不失圆润,无须太多修饰的漂亮声音。如果你曾感受过大河之舞的恢弘,一定会对她振奋人心,极富时代感的嗓音念念不忘。事实是,Lisa在作为女主唱加入大河之舞之前,已有了非同寻常的履历——七岁开始演唱的她曾在多部音乐剧中担任过重要角色。2005年,Lisa应邀加入凯尔特女人这个神奇的非凡团队,毫无疑问,这是她职业生涯的又一次重要转折。 很遗憾,据说她因为个人原因暂时离开组合一段时间了,,,
歌词:
I don't know if you can see
The changes that have come over me
In these last few days I've been afraid
That I might drift away
I've been telling old stories, singing songs
That make me think about where I've come from
That's the reason why I seem
So far away today
[Chorus:]
Let me tell you that I love you
That I think about you all the time
Caledonia, you're calling me, now I'm going home
But if I should become a stranger
Know that it would make me more than sad
Caledonia's been everything I've ever had
Now I have moved and I've kept on moving
Proved the points that I needed proving
Lost the friends that I needed losing
Found others on the way
I have kissed the fellas and left them crying
Stolen dreams, yes, there's no denying
I have traveled hard, sometimes with conscience flying
Somewhere with the wind
[Chorus]
Now I'm sitting here before the fire
The empty room, the forest choir
The flames have cooled, don't get any higher
They've withered, now they've gone
But I'm steady thinking, my way is clear
And I know what I will do tomorrow
When hands have shaken, the kisses float
Then I will disappear
Caledonia原本是苏格兰的某个地方,歌中唱的是指苏格兰,而不是狭义的Caledonia。
在苏格兰享受的就是一种自然。这里的景色类似于我们四川九寨沟,只是没有那么高的海拔,却更开阔、荒芜。除了高地湖水,最不容错过的自然景观便是纯静的岛屿。有的被云层覆盖,好像隐藏在天空中的神秘小岛。
古老而凝重的城堡
宽广的山地草原上牛羊成群
荒凉与凄美的壮阔高地:那里才是苏格兰人的灵魂所在
有人比较喜欢这个男声版的,演唱者是 Dougie MacLean., 据说是这首歌的原唱。这个视频可以看到Calediniade 的无限风光,有网友说:“ 天堂也就是这样了!”~=~

再看一个Lisa在古堡前的现场, 大家可以和上面的男声比较一下。

**无论走多远,无论在哪里,家乡就象那根牵着风筝的线,,,萦绕着
祝大家中秋快乐,常回家看看 ,,,,,,,,**
