音乐随身听: Alison Krauss - When You Say Nothing At All (知行英语)

Alison的歌曲之所以吸引人是因其个人演唱魅力和她所创作的精致、纯正的兰草音乐。Alison的歌曲中使用的乐器依然是小提琴、曼陀铃、木吉他和斑鸠琴这样兰草的标准乐器，编曲配器也绝少矫饰，没有任何世俗渲染的音乐配上Alison Krauss清泉般透彻的歌声，使得兰草音乐愈加发扬光大。“When You Say Nothing At All”是Julia Roberts 与 Hugh Grant¹ 领衔主演的浪漫文艺片《Notting Hill》的主题曲，95年由Alison Krauss翻唱，她凭借这首歌以精湛传情的演唱勇夺格莱美奖，声音听得让人舒服的无法形容。

It's amazing² how you can speak right to my heart³
Without saying⁴ a word, you can light up the dark⁵
Try as⁶ I may, I could⁷ never explain⁹
What I hear when you don't say a thing

The smile on your face lets me know that you need me
There's a truth¹⁰ in your eyes saying you'll never leave me
The touch of your hand says you'll catch me if ever⁸ I fall
You say it best when you say nothing at all

All day long I can hear people talking out loud
But when you hold me near, you drown¹¹ out the crowd¹²
Old Mr. Webster could never define
What's being said between your heart and mine

The smile on your face lets me know that you need me
There's a truth in your eyes saying you'll never leave me
The touch of your hand says you'll catch me if ever I fall
You say it best when you say nothing at all

The smile on your face lets me know that you need me
There's a truth in your eyes saying you'll never leave me
The touch of your hand says you'll catch me if ever I fall
You say it best when you say nothing at all
