老黑奴歌词 老黑奴歌词介绍

1.歌词:

Gone are the days when my heart was young and gay,

Gone are my friends from the cotton fields away,

Gone from the earth to a better land I know,

I hear their gentle voices calling Old Black Joe.

(合唱)

I’m coming, I’m coming, for my head is bending low:

I hear those gentle voices calling, Old Black Joe.

Why do I weep when my heart should feel no pain

Why do I sigh that my friends come not again,

Grieving for forms now departed long ago.

I hear their gentle voices calling “Old Black Joe”.

(合唱)

I’m coming, I’m coming, for my head is bending low:

I hear those gentle voices calling, Old Black Joe.

Where are the hearts once so happy and so free?

The children so dear that I held upon my knee,

Gone to the shore where my soul has longed to go.

I hear their gentle voices calling Old Black Joe.

(合唱)

I’m coming, I’m coming, for my head is bending low:

I hear those gentle voices calling, Old Black Joe.

翻译:

快乐童年,如今一去不复返,亲爱朋友,都已离开家园,离开尘世到那天上的乐园,我听见他们轻声把我呼唤,我来了,我来了,我已年老背又弯,我听见他们轻声把我呼唤。

为何哭泣,如今我不应忧伤,为何叹息,朋友不能重相见?为何悲痛,亲人去世已多年。我听见他们轻声把我呼唤,我来了,我来了,我已年老背又弯,我听见他们轻声把我呼唤。

幸福伴侣,如今东飘西散,怀中爱儿,早已离我去远方,他们已到我所渴望的乐园。我听见他们轻声把我呼唤,我来了,我来了,我已年老背又弯,我听见他们轻声把我呼唤。

2.《老黑奴》是一首由史蒂芬·柯林斯·福斯特(1826-1864)创作的美国民歌,原名《old black Joe》。作者写作本曲除了寄托对老黑奴的哀思以外,也融进了对自己当时境遇的哀叹。
