约翰丹佛是霭青很熟悉很喜欢的歌手,他那首乡村的路带我回家人人都能哼唱。霭青现在坐在乔治和维克之间,“你会唱吗?”
乔治摇摇头,琴弦一拨,一首欢快的曲调出来。
grandma"s feather bed by john denver
when i was a little bitty boy just up off the floor 小时候刚会跑
we used to go down to grandma"s house every month end or so 常常去奶奶家玩
we"d have chi pie, try ham 鸡肉饼,火腿肉
homemade butter on the bread 自制黄油抹面包
but the best darn thing about grandma"s house 奶奶家最好玩的
was the great big feather bed 是个大褥子
it was ni high and six feet wide 九尺长六尺宽
and soft as a downy chick 柔软舒适
it was made from the feathers of forty "leven geese 四十多只鹅毛的大褥子
took a whole bolt of cloth for the tick 用了一大卷布
it could hold eight kids and four hound dogs 上面躺着八个孩子四条狗
and a piggy we stole from the shed 外加一头猪
we didn"t get much sleep but we had a lot of fun 疯玩半宿不睡觉
on grandma"s feather bed 奶奶的大褥子
after supper we"d sit around the fire, the old folks"d spit and chew 围着篝火嚼烟叶
pa would talk about the farm and the war 老爸聊聊牧场事
and granny"d sing a ballad or two 奶奶哼首民歌听
and i"d sit and listen and watch the fire till the cobwebs filled my head 我乖乖的听着了
hing i"d know i"d wake up in the m 早晨醒来
in the middle of the old feather bed 睡在大褥子上
it was ni high and six feet wide 九尺长六尺宽
and soft as a downy chick 柔软舒适
it was made from the feathers of forty "leven geese 四十多只鹅毛的大褥子
took a whole bolt of cloth for the tick 用了一大卷布
it could hold eight
