單爸吉他朽木琵琶

最近我發現我的部落格裡訪客數多了很多，也增加了不少人訂閱我的部落格。但回應變的很少，不只如此連我所訂閱的部落格大家發文也少了很多，忽然有一種感覺似乎大家的心情都悶著‧‧‧‧‧

這段時間早在H1N1流行前社會上沒什麼大變化，我才發現原來寫不出字的不只是我。為什麼會發生這現象呢？我覺得莫名‧‧‧

我知道很多單親媽媽與些許單親爸爸經由中華單親協會或單親爸爸俱樂部點到我的格子裡來，也知道該來拜訪的一些感性文字高手都沒少來。但大家怎麼了是我多想還是真的大家都少了歡顏？

有位單爸（你知道我在說你）鼓起了勇氣去闖蕩一段愛情，感性的中年人踏出的第一步‧‧〝艱難〞！持續加油吧！或著你也一樣看清了自己的所以然的鎩羽而歸回到老巢？

一位住南部的單親媽媽（妳也知道我在說妳）瘋狂遠距離戀愛應該還順利吧！所以沒有時間寫文章。我不去催稿是不想變成了電燈泡，依舊一段時間到你的格裡瞧瞧。

一些堅強的單媽也喊累了，有人停止發文先下車不再尋一個依靠！

在婚姻中的依舊懷念舊情，而且男的女的都和我一樣活的糟糕。

又有幾位朋友離婚了，連自己家人都不知道！唉！

不婚主義者依然逍遙在自己房間的電腦，嘲笑這最可笑的現代制度舊儀式的八股？

我的兄弟是否依然為了無解的愛情苦惱？著了魔就得樂著上道！

我認識的女性朋友你們好不好？太熟了也失去了想念你們的味道。

『哪個人不孤單？』也許只是我的想像！我在車上看到了一個畫面，我不知道他們是不是一對戀人，但我多麼希望他們是恩愛的一對，起碼讓我對『地久天長』還懷抱著希望‧‧‧‧‧‧

把車停在路旁，不加修改的用筆電打上這篇文章，留下這個畫面，希望大家都好，至少跟我一樣還能在鬧區好好的聽一首歌曲，回憶一些美麗，停格住一些想像中的美好。

Joni Mitchell - Both Sides Now 2000 lives

Joni Mitchell : Both Sides Now With LA Express , 1974

==============*************==============

Jason 音樂筆記

我試圖翻譯這首歌詞，並且用了不少的時間。完成時再聽一遍，不得不的我刪掉了所有的中文翻譯，無論如何我終究無法翻出這體會〝愛情的兩面〞那種感覺。

我反而建議不懂英文的朋友，直接用你電腦上任何翻譯的網頁，了解意思後再重聽一遍，或許這樣的體會才是屬於你自己的感覺。如同我在鬧區好好的聽一首歌曲，看到的那個畫面

關於Joni Mitchell：

“ wrote this song when she was around 25. It was a precocious song really, talking about love and life and all that, when she was just a young girl really. But many years later, she sang this song again, with this kind of voice that had smoked 10,000 cigarettes, it all makes sense.”

簡譯如下：

joni mitchell both sides now lyrics

Rows and floes of angel hair

And ice cream castles in the air

And feather canyons evrywhere

Ive looked at clouds that way

But now they only block the sun

They rain and snow on evryone

So many things I would have done

But clouds got in my way

Ive looked at clouds from both sides now

From up and down, and still somehow

Its cloud illusions I recall

I really dont know clouds at all

Moons and junes and ferris wheels

The dizzy dancing way you feel

As evry fairy tale comes real

Ive looked at love that way

But now its just another show

You leave em laughing when you go

And if you care, dont let them know

Dont give yourself away

Ive looked at love from both sides now

From give and take, and still somehow

Its loves illusions I recall

I really dont know love at all

Tears and fears and feeling proud

To say I love you right out loud

Dreams and schemes and circus crowds

Ive looked at life that way

But now old friends are acting strange

They shake their heads, they say Ive changed

Well somethings lost, but somethings gained

In living evry day

Ive looked at life from both sides now

From win and lose and still somehow

Its lifes illusions I recall

I really dont know life at all

Ive looked at life from both sides now

From up and down, and still somehow

Its lifes illusions I recall

I really dont know life at all
