本網(wǎng)小評(píng)：“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(xiāng)村樂和搖滾樂交接點(diǎn)的kasey，音樂路逐漸拓寬并呈多元化趨勢(shì)。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(fā)展，而她對(duì)節(jié)奏、對(duì)鼓點(diǎn)的把握似乎也比以前沉穩(wěn)許多。

“Pony”以一個(gè)小孩的視角，描繪了只有小女孩才會(huì)做的愛情夢(mèng)：“擁有漂亮的‘小矮馬’、生個(gè)可愛的‘小寶寶’、或搖身變?yōu)槎饲f賢惠的‘淑女’”——這都是女孩子托腮做白日夢(mèng)時(shí)對(duì)未來的美好期盼，但無論做什么夢(mèng)，都離不開最真、最癡、最純、最可愛的夢(mèng)——我那一天會(huì)不會(huì)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 hermane

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 afterRalph 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 aten-gallonhat
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
