音乐咖啡厅:Do something 做点什么-The Eagles

The Eagles(老鹰)乐队是美国七十年代最成功的乐队，是继The Beatles、Led Zeppelin之后，名列史上3大最畅销乐团之一，在那个年代，没有电脑数位，没有镭射光效，老鹰合唱团用最简单的方式来传递音乐，无需经过修饰，无需计算秒数，音乐的感动来自简单的乐器，率性的节奏与直接的感性，这份音乐的感动，不因时间流逝而递减，反而更加坚固，因为勇敢与坚持，30年之后这份感动依然存在。老鹰合唱团曾拿过四座葛莱美奖：1975年以"Lying Eyes"得到最佳流行乐团；1977年"Hotel California"是年度最佳单曲；同年"New Kid In Town"获颁最佳和声编排；1979年以“Heartache Tonight”得到最佳摇滚乐团。

中英歌词:

I've been walkin' through the fields and on the streets of town 我穿过原野，步上小镇的街道
trying to make sense¹ of what you left me 努力探寻，你为何弃我而去
everything that i believed in 曾经的信仰
has been turned upside² down 已全部颠覆
and now it seems the whole wide world's gone crazy 现在看来，整个世界都已抓狂
but when i feel like giving up 但是当我意欲放弃
and i'm ready to walk away 打算离开
in the stillness, i can hear
a voice inside me say 在寂静中，我能听见内心的呼喊
do something 做点什么
do something做点什么
it's too late for saving³ face 挽救颜面已经太晚
don't just stand there takin' up space 不要傻站在这里占据空间
why don't you do something? 你为何不去做点什么？
do something 做点什么
it's not over还没结束
no, it's never too late 不，一切都还不算太迟
you were always on my side 你一直在我心里
love was all we had 爱是我们的所有
now i sit and watch our love unraveling 我在坐视 我们的爱被拆散
i pick up the morning paper 我拿起一份晨报
all the news is bad 都是一些坏的消息
how did we get on this road we're traveling? 我们的旅行，能怎么继续？
but when i feel like giving up 但是当我打算放弃
and there's nowhere⁴ left to go 才发现已无处可去
that's the time i dig⁵ down deep 我已陷得太深
the only thing i know 我唯一知道的就是
do something做点什么
do something 做点什么
don't leave it up for someone else 不要把一切抛给他人
don't feel sorry for yourself 不要责备自己
