Hank Williams ——当代乡村音乐之父。25岁的时候他就是一个超级明星,但是他死于29岁。在那短短的4年里,他为跟随他的乡村表演者确定了大多数规则实际上也影响了流行音乐。他写的大部分歌曲成了流行的经典之作,他直接、感性的歌词和嗓音成了大多数流行音乐表演者的效仿的典范。他的生活就像他的歌词所描述的一样充满麻烦,不计后果。
Hank Williams 1923年9月17号生于阿拉巴马州的奥利弗山区。8岁的时候她妈妈给了他一把吉他。如果说他受过音乐教育的话他是跟当地的一个在街上唱布鲁斯的Rufus Payne,人们也叫他Tee Tot。从Tee Tot那里Hank Williams 学会了怎么弹吉他和唱布鲁斯,这些可能为Hank Williams 以后的创作听过了强烈的影响。
Your Cheatin' Heart
Your cheatin’ heart will make you weep.
You’ll cry and cry and try to sleep,
but sleep won’t come
the whole night through,
your cheatin’ heart will tell on you.
When tears come down like falling rain,
you’ll toss around and call my name.
You’ll walk the floor the way I do.
Your cheatin’ heart will tell on you.
Your cheatin’ heart will pine someday,
And crave the love you threw away.
The time will come when you’ll be blue.
Your cheatin’ heart will tell on you.
歌词大意:
你欺骗的心会使你哭泣
你哭了又哭并想法子入睡
但你整夜都睡不着
你欺骗的心有一天会泄露你的底细
当泪如雨下
你会辗转反侧并呼唤我名字
你会象我一样在地板上踱来踱去
你欺骗的心有一天会泄露你的底细
总有一天你会为了我们的爱感到痛苦而消瘦
也渴望重新拾回这份被抛弃的爱
这个时刻就要来临了,那时你会悲伤
你欺骗的心有一天会泄露你的底细
