约翰·丹佛的老吉他

约翰·丹佛这位创作型乡村音乐歌手,一把吉他,自弹自唱,深情动听的歌声,自然亲切的风格,以一曲《乡村路带我回家》走进了无数人的心。(请点击聆听)

约翰·丹佛出生于军人家庭,小的时候,约翰·丹佛常因军人父亲的工作调动,而不停地搬迁。他刚到新的学校就读不久,又得转校,他所交的朋友甚少。

在约翰·丹佛12的时候,他的祖母给了他一把老吉他,那把吉他是1910年制作的,是他祖母少女时候弹过的吉他。从此,约翰·丹佛开始学弹吉它,他祖母给他的老吉他,就伴随着他的一生,无论去哪,约翰·丹佛带着他的老吉他。

后来,约翰·丹佛不幸弄掉了他的老吉他,他非常的伤感。5年后,他又意外地找到了他的老吉他,他惊喜万分,弹着老吉他,他创作了这首《This Old Guitar》。


Song: This Old Guitar
Artist: John Denver

This old guitar taught me to sing a love song
it showed me how to laugh and how to cry
It introduced me to some friends of mine
and brightened up some days
and helped me make it thru some lonely nights
What a friend to have on a cold and lonely night

This old guitar gave me my lovely lady
it opened up her eyes and ears to me
it brought us close together
and I guess it broke her heart
it opened up the space for us to be
What a lovely place and a lovely space to be

This old guitar gave me my life my living
all the things you know I love to do
to serenade the stars that shine
from a sunny mountainside
and most of all to sing my songs for you
I love to sing my songs for you
Yes I do, you know
I love to sing my songs for you
