When the birds are sleeping
That’s when the trees sing
You left your winter clothes
And your teeth marks in my skin
当鸟儿入睡
就是树歌唱之时
你留下你的冬衣
和印在我皮肤上的齿印
So shake the leaves off the trees
Watch them float down the stream
Your son, your daughter
Swimming in the water
那么,摇落树叶吧
看它们顺着小溪漂流直下
你的儿子,你的女儿
在水里游泳
And I miss you
Even when you’re around
I’m a black cloud
Sending lightning to the ground
而我想念你
即使你就在我身边
我是一朵乌云
将闪电送往地面
Darling please, show your teeth
Just one more dance to help me sleep
Cold water eyes
Fill the past with friendly nights
Human skin can be hard to live in
You’ll feel better in the morning
Wash your hands in the lake
You’ve got a heart somewhere
亲爱的,请微笑吧
再跳一支舞,助我入眠
冰冷的泉眼
用温暖的夜填满过去
活在皮囊里不容易
早上你会感觉好些
在湖里洗手
你会在某处找到一颗心
Trails lost in the snow
Make way for winter’s eerie glow
And that black rock in your bedroom
I hope you’ll climb it soon
In your boat, tied to a tree
I hope you’ll find the sea
足迹消失在雪中
为冬日诡异的光芒让路
而你卧室里的那块黑石
我希望你能尽快爬上它
乘着你那系在一棵树上的船
我希望你会找到海
Throw me a dream please
It’s been a dreamless sleep
For such a long time, such a long time
Sing myself awake
Watch the branches break
No one could ever take your place
Wash your face in the lake
You’ve got a diamond under your skin
请抛给我一个梦
我这是一场无梦的睡眠
持续如此久,如此久
唱歌让我醒来
看着断开的树枝
没人能取代你
在湖里洗脸
你将在自己的皮囊里找到一颗钻石
无论何时,曲风清新、节奏明快的音乐总教人难以抗拒,就像这支来自冰岛的七人乐团Seabear的音乐,其曲风少了冰岛音乐以往常让人感受到的冰冷、另类、阴郁、唯美的特质,而是加进了许多清新质朴的元素,让人顿时耳目一新,心情大好。
“I Sing I Swim”选自该乐队首张专辑The Ghost That Carried Us Away。此曲中,多种乐器完美结合,歌词意境充满童趣,纯净轻柔的男音轻轻吟唱着,仿佛怕惊扰了谁午睡中的梦。轻快的旋律仿若叮咚的泉水,大自然的气息不断扑面而来,微风掠过山谷,湖畔泛起绿意,让这首歌伴我们去郊游,让我们的心情如水底的鱼儿那般吐出大串大串快乐的泡泡!
