這首Wand'rin' star是1969年電影"Paint Your Wagon"中的歌曲,電影據說非常滑鐵盧,但男演員Lee Marvin在片中拒絕咪咀,自己唱所有作品,最後這套戲的原聲大碟,竟受歡迎得將Beatles同年的Let It Be大碟也壓到第二位去。

但嗓子比Tom Waits更沉的Lee Marvin,也沒有再繼續唱歌,就這樣成為了一碟歌王。Lee Marvin的歌聲真是過耳不忘;而歌詞也非常地美麗,深深刻劃了不羈的境界;音樂方面也有點令我想起Les Miserable 電影中的Can You Hear the People Sing。

Wand'rin' star
Written by Alan Jay Lerner
Music by Frederick Loewe

I was born under a wand'rin' star
I was born under a wand'rin' star
Wheels are made for rolling, mules are made to pack
I've never seen a sight that didn't look better looking back
I was born under a wand'rin' star

Mud can make you prisoner and the plains can bake you dry
Snow can burn your eyes, but only people make you cry
Home is made for coming from, for dreams of going to
Which with any luck will never come true
I was born under a wand'rin' star
I was born under a wand'rin' star

Do I know where hell is, hell is in hello
Heaven is goodbye forever, its time for me to go
I was born under a wand'rin' star
A wand'rin' wand'rin' star

(Mud can make you prisoner and the plains can bake you dry)
(Snow can burn your eyes, but only people make you cry)
(Home is made for coming from, for dreams of going to)
(Which with any luck will never come true)
(I was born under a wand'rin' star)
(I was born under a wand'rin' star)

When I get to heaven, tie me to a tree
For I'll begin to roam and soon you'll know where I will be
I was born under a wand'rin' star
A wand'rin' wand'rin' star

美好冬日周末

  滿地可冬天好凍。但在好凍的冬天中,有超凍、凍但係有陽光、好濕好凍同唔係太凍等等的不同細分。 這二月中的周日,就是落完雪不久但放晴的唔係好凍、不大風、濕度低的上等冬日。 大家宵禁了很久,在家工作和上學已呆掉,所以都湧出去好好玩一下。這段日子滿地可每日新感染人數是三百多,比起最高...
