美国歌手保罗-西蒙（Paul Simon）65岁发行的专辑《惊奇》（Surprise）中的单曲《父与女》。一份舔犊之爱在民谣味道的歌声中款款道来：如果你遇事不顺，想想当年我们一起在山间草地上数星星；虽然不能保证你的前方一片坦途，但我会像明信片上的金毛猎狗那样守护着你；只要1加1还等于2，我就是世界上最爱女儿的父亲……含蓄的亲情，简洁的语言，收敛的曲风，就着电子音乐元素，颂唱着爱与尊严的乐章。 由于40年前电影《毕业生》插曲《沉默之声》（Sound Of Silence）我们记住了这位歌坛老将，顺便重温一下他的经典作品也好。 Father And Daughter
Paul Simon If you leap awake in the mirror of a bad dream
And for a fraction of a second you can't remember where you are
Just open your window and follow your memory upstream
To the meadow in the mountain where we counted every falling star I believe the light that shines on you will shine on you forever
And though I can't guarantee there's nothing scary hiding under your bed
I'm gonna stand guard like a postcard of a Golden Retriever
And never leave till I leave you with a sweet dream in your head I'm gonna watch you shine, gonna watch you grow
Gonna paint a sign. So you'll always know:
As long as one and one is two there could never be a father
Who loved his daughter more than I love you Trust your intuition. It's just like going fishing
You cast your line and hope you get a bite
But you don't need to waste your time worrying about the market place
Try to help the human race struggling to survive it's harshest night I'm gonna watch you shine, gonna watch you grow
Gonna paint a sign. So you'll always know:
As long as one and one is two there could never be a father
Who loved his daughter more than I love you (Repeat) 重点词汇 Golden Retriever n. 金毛猎犬 postcard n. 明信片 scary a. 引起惊慌的 gonna （美语）将要（=going to） intuition n. 直觉，直觉的知识 harsh a. 粗糙的，荒芜的 one and one is two 1加1等于2 as long as 只要…… meadow n. 草地，牧场 upstream adv. 溯流而上，逆流地 |
