Dolly Parton - The Grass Is Blue - ft Norah Jones

偶爾會像這樣，即將入夏的午後，穿起短袖已經不覺得冷，但風吹過的時候還是會稍稍把身子攏緊。像是偶爾想起許久之前逝去了的愛情，眼眶還是會淡淡發熱。



我喜歡這曲調如此簡單，而歌詞有些倔強。Dolly阿姨唱得顯得輕鬆自在，但不若加入Norah Jones助陣，把遠去的傷痛唱得飄渺，唱得雲淡風清。揪著的心臟，轉速過熱後，眼淚一觸碰就蒸發了。



I've had to think up a way to survive　我必須想個方式活下去

Since you said it's over　因為你說這一切都結束了

Told me good-bye　而向我道別

I just can't make it one day without you　沒有你我無法活下去

Unless I pretend that the opposite's true　除非我欺騙自己世界能倒著運轉



Rivers flow backwards　河水逆流

Valleys are high　山谷為高

Mountains are level　高山為平

Truth is alive　真理尚在

I'm perfectly fine　而我一切安好

And I don't miss you　絲毫不想念你

The sky is green　天色碧綠

And the grass is blue　而草色豔藍



How much can a heart and a troubled mind take　一顆混亂的心還能承受多少

Where is that fine line before it all breaks　一切分崩離析前的界線到底在哪

Can one end their sorrow　我們可否終止悲傷

Just cross over it　輕易跨越悲傷

And into that realm of insanitive bliss　進入狂喜的領地



There's snow in the tropics　赤道落雪

There's ice on the sun　日頭有冰

It's hot in the Arctic　極地為熱

And crying is fun　而哭泣很有趣

And I'm happy now　我現在很開心

And I'm glad we're through　我非常高興我們之間已經結束

And the sky is green　天色碧綠

And the grass is blue　草地豔藍



And the rivers flow backwards　河水逆流

And my tears are dry　我眼淚毫不濕潤

Swans hate the water　天鵝厭惡湖水

And eagles can't fly　老鷹不能展翅飛翔

But I'm alright now　我現在一切都安好

Now that I'm over you　因為我已經不再為你難過

And the sky is green　天色碧綠

And the grass is blue　草地豔藍

And I don't love you　我不愛你

And the grass is blue　而草地豔藍
