. . . . . . John Lennon
| Picture yourself in a boat on a
river With tangerine trees and marmalade skies Somebody calls you, you answer quite slowly The girl with kaleidoscope eyes Cellophane flowers of yellow and green Towering over your head Look for the girl with the sun in her eyes and she's gone Lucy in the sky with diamonds Lucy in the sky with diamonds Lucy in the sky with diamonds Ooh Follow her down to s bridge by a fountain Where rocking horse people eat marshmallow pies Everyone smiles as you drift past the flowers That grow so incredibly high Newspaper taxis appear on the shore Waiting to take you away Climb in the back with your head in the clouds and you're gone Lucy in the sky with diamonds Lucy in the sky with diamonds Lucy in the sky with diamonds Ooh Picture yourself on a train in a station With plasticine porters with looking-glass ties Suddenly someone is there at the turnstile The girl with kaleidoscope eyes Lucy in the sky with diamonds Lucy in the sky with diamonds Lucy in the sky with diamonds Ooh Lucy in the sky with diamonds Lucy in the sky with diamonds Lucy in the sky with diamonds Ooh |
. . . . . . 約翰連儂 (陳智德 譯自Set.Pepper's Lonely Hearts ClubBand,1967 )
想像自己在河中一條船上 黃黃綠綠的玻璃紙花 露絲在天空與鑽石為伴 跟隨她在一條噴泉築起的橋上拾步而下 報紙的士在岸邊出現 露絲在天空與鑽石為伴 想像自己在列車站裏 露絲在天空與鑽石為伴 |
約翰連儂(John Lennon, 1940-1980 ) ──
生於利物浦一個貧困的家庭.他16歲時已經組織一隊樂隊,在一次演出中,遇到保羅.麥卡尼( Paul Mc Cartney )後,決定一起組成樂隊,並加入兩位成員:George Harrison 和 Ringo Star,於1959年成立了Beatles.他們一起創作,演出.特別是約翰連儂和保羅.麥卡尼都格外下功夫,不久便寫好一批樂曲,如< I want to hold your hand>,<She love your>等,開始引起人們的注意.1960年,他們去漢堡等地演出,進一步提高他們的演出水準.1962年,推出單曲<Love me do >,樂隊成立初期,Beatles的歌唱內容多數是歌頌友誼,愛情.歌曲風格也純樸簡明,演出時的裝束也比較簡單整潔,每唱完一曲,均向觀眾鞠躬,顯得彬彬有禮.他們只是在留了長髮,因此有人稱他們為"坡頭四"~1963年,Beatles推出第一個專輯< With the beatles >,銷量達百萬! 1969年,Beatles推出最後一張專輯<Abbey road>,於 1970年,Beatles宣告正式解散. 六十年代末至七十年代的披頭四(Beatles)，由於音樂的愈趨豐富和信息上的複雜，超越了早期作為偶像的層次，而更根本的原因是他們四人各自都有思想上的獨特發展。七十年代的約翰連儂
( John Lennon ) 以各種方式宣揚和平與愛，幾可視為特立的教士。
披頭四時期的連儂，歌曲常見特立獨行的訴求，拆夥後，他的歌曲仍有訴求，但似乎有更多的同情和理解。他自身也歷經反思和探索，經過七十年代一段長時間的歸隱，最後決意更平實地面對新降臨的八十年代。
