《Seven Lonely Days》


  《Georgia Gibbs原名Fredda Gibbons,1920年8月17日出生于麻省的Worcester。从15岁开始就在广播电台的Hit Parade和Camel Caravan 1节目中表演。1938年和Hudson-Delange乐队一起表演时的名曲有《If We Never Meet Again》,1940年和Frankie Trumbauer合作时的名曲有《Laziest Girl In Town》,1942年和Artie Shaw乐队合作时的名曲有《Not Mine》,《Absent Minded Moon》。也就是在这段期间,她改名为Georgia Gibbs。随后,在Jimmy Durant/Garry Moore主持的广播节目时,Moore给她起了个‘Her Nibs’的外号。她坚定而准确的嗓音以及良好的艺人风范令她在1950到1959间获得15支排行榜前40位的歌曲。最开始的两支是Coral唱片公司发行的《If I Knew You Were Comin’》及《I’d’ve Baked A Cake》。


  1951年,她和Mercury唱片公司签了约。她52年演唱的《Kiss Of Fire-火之吻》是由一支阿根廷探弋《El Choclo》改编的。53年演唱的《Seven Lonely Days-七个寂寞的日子》则是原来Bonnie Lou唱到乡村排行榜前10位的一支歌曲。她唱的热门曲多是翻唱的R&B歌曲。如:55年原来LaVerne Baker唱的《Tweedle Dee》,《Dance With Me Henry》是改动了歌词的原Hank Ballard的歌曲《Work With Me Annie》,以及Ballard,Johnny Otis,Etta James的性感歌曲《Roll With Me Henry》等。


  后来,她不断的改变合作的唱片公司,先是跳到RCA公司。然后58年到Rou8lette公司,出了她最后一支进入排行榜前40位的《The Hula-Hoop Song》。后又在Mercury公司录了含有《Swinin’ With Her Nibs》一曲的专辑。63年在Epic公司录了《Georgia Gibbs》,64年在Imperial公司录了《Something’s Gotta Give》。64年以后,她在意大利过着半隐居的生活。


Seven Lonely Days


 


Seven lonely days make one lonely week.
Seven lonely nights make one lonely me.
Ever since the time you told me
We were through, seven lonely days,
I cried and cried for you.


Oh, my darling,
You're crying-boo-hoo-hoo-hoo.
There's no use in denying I cried for you.
It was your favorite pastime 2 making me blue.
Last week was the last time I cried for you.


Seven hankies blue are filled with my tears,
Seven letters, too, are filled with my fears.
Guess it never pays to make your lover 3 blue.
Seven lonely days I cried and cried for you.

Oh, my darling, I cried and cried for you.


歌词大意:


七个寂寞的日子 一周的寂寞
七个寂寞的夜 寂寞的我
自从你说我们已結束
七个寂寞的日子
我一直一直为你而哭泣


噢!亲爱的
你哭泣着
无须否认我为你而哭
你过去总是让我忧伤
上周是我最后一次为你而心伤


七条蓝色的手帕盈滿我的泪水
七封信也盈滿我的心情
不费心思的让所爱的人忧伤
七个寂寞的日子 我一直一直为 你而哭泣
噢!亲爱的,我一直一直为你而哭泣


七个寂寞的日子 一周的寂寞
七个寂寞的夜 寂寞的我
自从你说我们已結束
七个寂寞的日子
我一直一直 为你而哭泣


歌词、句型分析


 


1.Seven lonely days make one lonely week.
  make:构成;成为
  例如:12 months make one year. 12个月为一年。


2.Seven lonely nights make one lonely me.
  这种相同的结构在本句中产生了很好的表达,即
  lonely me. Seven对one,lonely对lonely, nights对me, 中间有动词make。假如我们把句子换成Seven lonely
  nights make me lonely,意思无大变动,但那种lonely 效果不如lonely me所表达的涵义。
  例如:Sunshine always makes a happy me.阳光总是造就幸福的我。


3.Ever since the time you told me we were through
  =Since the time when you told me our love came to an end,…
  be through(with):与……断绝关系;结束与……的关系,结束
  例如:When were you through? 你们之间的关系是什么时候断绝的?


4.It was your favorite pastime making me blue
  pastime:消遣;娱乐
  favorite: best liked最喜欢的;特别受喜爱的人物
  
  例如:Playing at chess is my favorite pastime.下象棋是我最喜爱的消遣。
  Mark Twain is my favorite writer.马克·吐温是我最喜欢的作家。


5.Seven hankies blue are filled with my tears
  =Seven blue handkerchieves are wet with my tears.
  blue可作双关语,一是蓝颜色,一是伤心。blue表伤心时是一种移情用法,给handkerchieves也注入了感情。


6.Guess it never pays to make your love blue.
  =I think I cannot gain anything even if I make your love sad.
  guess:猜想;估计;臆测;推测;猜出;猜着;猜中
  at a guess:依猜测
  pay在此处为“有利或有好处”。
  to make your love blue= to make your love sad.
  blue:(口语)sad; depressed忧伤;沮丧
