Norma Winstone’s “Drifter”

Norma Winstone，英国歌手。2008年和弹钢琴的Glauco Venier及吹号的Klaus Gesing出了一张专辑叫“Distances”。这里面的一首“Drifter”，我读了歌词以后觉得满嘴都是欧洲味儿，好像以前看的一些欧洲艺术片，红白蓝维朗尼卡的双重生活之类的，看了一个小时之后精神状态就会发生变化，把不太正常的事情当成正常。

（岔开一句说，好莱坞的电影也可以有类似的效果。比如我年轻时看了大量的好莱坞电影后，就曾经误认为男性，不管长的多磕碜，都可以通过强吻的手段获得女性的芳心。我的内心曾经激烈的冲突过，想要在现实生活里验证这一结论，不过最后幸亏，像张楚说的，我的“纯洁战胜了好奇”。）

 

Always knew he’d do what he wanted to do,
The way that a wind that changes its direction will turn
And leave you wondering
Where did summer go.

And now he looks around him and detects the coming of the rain.
The tumbleweed rolls ‘cross the plain,
His heels in the dust that lifts leave no impression at all,
No sign he came here.

Moving on again.
A wandering star is he,
A shadow that moves through the day
And is lost.

Somewhere is the girl with the Spanish eyes
That thinks of a drifter she knew long ago.
The fatherless child grown and gone away,
Resembles a stranger that he’ll never know.
