英文诗歌分享Streets of London

 

HELLO! 我是乐欣，又到英文歌分享的时间了，不过今天介绍的不是诗歌，而是~~~~~流行歌《Streets of London》！歌词中讲到在伦敦的街头可看见不同的“风景”，当见到衣衫褴褛的他和穷困潦倒的她时，你又如何能说自己Lonely呢...

送给你这首歌，也谢谢为我弹唱此歌的朋友。

歌名：《Streets of London》
歌手：Ralph Mctell
Have you seen the old man
In the closed down market
Kicking up the papers with his worn out shoes
In his eyes you see no pride
Hands held loosely at his side
Yesterday's paper, telling yesterday's news
So how can you tell me you're lonely
And say for you that the sun don't shine
Let me take you by the hand
And lead you through the streets of London
I'll show you something
To make you change your mind

Have you seen the old girl
Who walks the streets of London
Dirt in her hair and her clothes in rags
She's no time for talking
She just keeps right on walking
Carrying her home in two carrier bags
So how can you tell me you're lonely
And say for you that the sun don't shine
Let me take you by the hand
And lead you through the streets of London
I'll show you something
To make you change your mind

In the old night cafe at a quarter past eleven
The same old man sitting there on his own
Looking at the world over the rim of his teacup
Each tea lasts an hour, and he wanders home alone
So how can you tell me you're lonely
And say for you that the sun don't shine
Let me take you by the hand
And lead you through the streets of London
I'll show you something
To make you change your mind

Have you seen the old man
Outside the seaman's mission
Memory fading with the minor ribands that he wears
In our winter city the rain cries little pity
For one more forgotten hero
And a world which doesn't care
