summer wine

《Summer Wine》是一首经典老歌，首唱者是60年代在美国最受欢迎的“军中情人”Nancy Sinatra和Lee Hazelwood，歌曲作者就是Lee Hazelwood。这位老哥是美国音乐史上的一位传奇人物，不仅能唱歌，也能写歌，还会自己制作。在遇见Lee Hazelwood之前，Nancy Sinatra的事业很不顺利，没有多大的成功。再者婚姻也没有白头到老，很是失意。歌曲推出之时并没有作为主打歌，但是受到许多DJ的追捧，流传至今，于是成为上个世纪流传下来的一首经典老歌。

Nancy Sinatra的父亲是好莱坞的五鼠党之一、外号为“瘦皮猴”的法兰克辛纳屈拉（Frank Sinatra），他与黑手党的渊源颇深，后来也真的曾经获得过奥斯卡，同时他也是一位超级歌星。

《Summer Wine》这首歌在后来也有许多歌手翻唱过，包括The corrs乐队的Andrea和U2乐队的Bono两人合唱，但是最好听的还是原唱者。Lee Hazelwood的歌声有着美国乡村歌手的韵味，又夹杂点慢摇滚的漫不经心，而Nancy Sinatra的歌声则还带点美国甜姐的甜美稚嫩。感觉就像一杯曼哈顿鸡尾酒：Lee Hazelwood是酒杯底下的威士忌，而Nancy Sinatra就是酒杯顶上那颗鲜艳欲滴的甜美樱桃。

《Summer Wine》中英文歌词欣赏：

Strawberries, cherries and an angel''s kiss in spring

草莓，樱桃，还有春天的天使之吻

My summer wine is really made from all these things

我的夏日美酒真的是用这些酿造的

I walked in town on silver spurs that jingled to

我走进城里，脚下踩着白银的马刺

A song that I had only sang to just a few

随着一首我很少唱给别人听的歌曲叮当作响

She saw my silver spurs and said let''s pass the time

她看见我的银马刺，说让我们消磨点时光

And I will give to you summer wine

我会招待你喝夏日美酒

Oh, summer wine

噢，夏日美酒

Oh, summer wine

噢，夏日美酒

My eyes grew heavy and my lips they could not speak

我的眼皮逐渐沉重，我的嘴唇无法说话

I tried to get up but I couldn''t find my feet

我想要站起来，可是双脚不听使唤

She reassured me with an unfamiliar line

她用一句陌生的言语安抚着我

And then she gave to me more summer wine

然后又给我更多的夏日美酒

Oh, summer wine

噢，夏日美酒

When I woke up the sun was shining in my eyes

My silver spurs were gone my head felt twice its size

我的银马刺已经不翼而飞，我的脑袋好像变成两个大

She took my silver spurs, a dollar and a dime

她拿走了我的银马刺、钞票与铜板

And left me cravin'' for more summer wine
