听歌学英语:《触不可及》的情谊 Feeling good
妮娜·西蒙(Nina Simone;1933年2月21日-2003年4月21日),是一位美国歌手、作曲家与钢琴表演家。一般人认为她是一位优秀的爵士女伶、但妮娜不喜欢被这样归类。她的创作歌曲类型主要包括蓝调、节奏蓝调和灵魂乐。她的演唱方式则以富有情感、带有气息的变化音(tremolo['trem?l?u] 颤音)为主要特色。Nina曾说过:Jazz is a white term to define Black people. My music is Black classical music.(爵士是白人对黑人音乐的用词。我的音乐是黑色古典乐。)今天要推荐的这首电影插曲——Feeling Good便是由Nina翻唱。
Feeling good
Birds flying high you know how I feel
Sun in the sky you know how I feel
Reeds driftin' on by you know how I feel
It's a new dawn
It's a new day
It's a new life
For me
And I'm feeling good
Fish in the sea you know how I feel
River running free you know how I feel
Blossom in the tree you know how I feel
It's a new dawn
It's a new day
It's a new life
For me
And I'm feeling good
Dragonfly out in the sun you know what I mean, don't you know
Sleep in peace when the day is done
And this old world is a new world
And a bold world
For me
Stars when you shine you know how I feel
Scent of the pine you know how I feel
Oh freedom is mine
And I know how I feel
It's a new dawn
It's a new day
It's a new life
For me
And I'm feeling good
