想要一匹馬: Pony
[ 2006-09-14 18:06 ]
本網小評：“Pony”出自Kasey Chambers第三張專輯“Wayward
angel”（《任性天使》）。在這張專輯里，一度走在鄉村樂和搖滾樂交接點的kasey，音樂路逐漸拓寬并呈多元化趨勢。專輯中，高音危危欲墜的“荊棘鳥”不見了，Kasey開始朝舒緩和流行化發展，而她對節奏、對鼓點的把握似乎也比以前沉穩許多。
“Pony”以一個小孩的視角，描繪了只有小女孩才會做的愛情夢：“擁有漂亮的‘小矮馬’、生個可愛的‘小寶寶’、或搖身變為端莊賢惠的‘淑女’”——這都是女孩子托腮做白日夢時對未來的美好期盼，但無論做什么夢，都離不開最真、最癡、最純、最可愛的夢——我那一天會不會成為你的新娘？

Lyrics
When I grow up I want a pony
I'm gonna
ride her from dust til dawn
I'm gonna brush her mane
 |
|
Pony | And feed her sugar cane
And keep her in safe from the storm
If I had a pony
I wonder could I be your girl
When I grow up I want a baby
I'm gonna name it after Ralph Stanley
And I sure won't mind if it cries
all night
Just as long as it looks like me
If I had a baby
I wonder could I be your girl
Yodelay he yodeloh oh
You rock my world
Yodelay he yodeloh
When I
grow up I wanna be your girl
When I grow up I want a cowboy
With dust all over his jeans
With a
horse named Jack
And a ten-gallon
hat
He is nice but looks so mean
If you were a cowboy
I wonder could I be your girl
 |
|
ten-gallon hat | Yodelay he yodeloh
oh
You rock my world
Yodelay he yodeloh
When I grow up I wanna be your
girl
When I grow up I'll be a lady
All my rings will be made of gold
I'll
put flowers in my room
I'll wear perfume
I won't listen to rock n
roll
If I was a lady
I wonder could I be your girl
Yodelay he
yodeloh oh
You rock my world
Yodelay he yodeloh
When I grow up I wanna
be your girl
When I grow up I want a pony
When I grow up I want a
baby
When I grow up I want a cowboy
When I grow up I'll be a
lady
