 Dire Straits - Sultans Of Swing (Live)

曾有人如此形容:  聽過他們音樂的人沒有一個人會忘却其靈魂

Mark Knopfler超凡的吉他技藝,嗓音雄渾低沉,吉他冰涼入心.

去年聽到這首歌 看到這影片....很喜歡的一首歌...中間間奏很長 

但整首歌聽下來卻很過癮...主唱兼吉他手Mark Knopfler

對音樂的執著讓我很感動....

這個live show 是這2 前年的表演 主唱已近60歲...哇..依然寶刀未老..

 


You get a shiver in the dark
你在黑暗中打了個顫
Its been raining in the park but meantime
此時此刻在公園一直下著雨
South of the river you stop and you hold everything
你停止了南方的河而且擁著一切 (無人能敵的意思吧）
A band is blowing dixie double four time
一個樂團吹著四次 Dixie Double
You feel all right when you hear that music ring
當你聽到這個音樂時感覺很好

You step inside but you dont see too many faces
你走了進去但是你沒看見許多熟面孔
Coming in out of the rain to hear the jazz go down
為了要聽爵士樂從雨裡走了出來
Too much competition too many other places
太多競爭太多其他地方
But not too many horns can make that sound
但是不太多的管樂器可以發出那樣的聲音
Way on downsouth way on downsouth london town
正前下往南方 正前下往南方的倫敦小鎮

You check out guitar george he knows all the chords
你向吉他喬治請教 他知道所有的和旋
Mind hes strictly rhythm he doesnt want to make it cry or sing
他小心的作詩，他不想要讓他哭或唱
And an old guitar is all he can afford
他所能擁有的就只有一把老吉他
When he gets up under the lights to play his thing
他在燈光焦點底下演奏的他東西

And harry doesnt mind if he doesnt make the scene
哈利並不在乎他是否有鏡頭
Hes got a daytime job hes doing alright
他有一份還不錯白天工作
He can play honky tonk just like anything
他把鄉村音樂演奏的很好
Saving it up for friday night
留給星期五
With the sultans with the sultans of swing
跟蘇丹人，跟搖擺的蘇丹人

And a crowd of young boys theyre fooling around in the corner
一全年輕的男孩在角落玩耍
Drunk and dressed in their best brown baggies and their platform soles
醉了的穿著他們最好的咖啡色游泳短褲和平底鞋
They dont give a damn about any trumpet playing band
他們並不在乎任何的小號樂團在演奏
It aint what they call rock and roll
這不是他們所謂的搖滾
And the sultans played creole
然而蘇丹人演奏克里奧爾語

And then the man he steps right up to the microphone
然後一個男人站往麥克風前面
And says at last just as the time bell rings
然後說了就像鐘聲在最後時響了
thank you goodnight now its time to go home
謝謝你 晚安了 是時候回家了
And he makes it fast with one more thing
然後他快速的說了一件事
we are the sultans of swing
