老黑奴歌詞 老黑奴歌詞介紹

1、歌詞：

Gone are the days when my heart was young and gay,

Gone are my friends from the cotton fields away,

Gone from the earth to a better land I know,

I hear their gentle voices calling Old Black Joe.

（合唱）

I’m coming, I’m coming, for my head is bending low:

I hear those gentle voices calling, Old Black Joe.

Why do I weep when my heart should feel no pain

Why do I sigh that my friends come not again,

Grieving for forms now departed long ago.

I hear their gentle voices calling “Old Black Joe”.

（合唱）

I’m coming, I’m coming, for my head is bending low:

I hear those gentle voices calling, Old Black Joe.

Where are the hearts once so happy and so free?

The children so dear that I held upon my knee,

Gone to the shore where my soul has longed to go.

I hear their gentle voices calling Old Black Joe.

（合唱）

I’m coming, I’m coming, for my head is bending low:

I hear those gentle voices calling, Old Black Joe.

翻譯：

快樂童年，如今一去不復返，親愛朋友，都已離開家園，離開塵世到那天上的樂園，我聽見他們輕聲把我呼喚，我來了，我來了，我已年老背又彎，我聽見他們輕聲把我呼喚。

為何哭泣，如今我不應憂傷，為何歎息，朋友不能重相見？為何悲痛，親人去世已多年。我聽見他們輕聲把我呼喚，我來了，我來了，我已年老背又彎，我聽見他們輕聲把我呼喚。

幸福伴侶，如今東飄西散，懷中愛兒，早已離我去遠方，他們已到我所渴望的樂園。我聽見他們輕聲把我呼喚，我來了，我來了，我已年老背又彎，我聽見他們輕聲把我呼喚。

2、《老黑奴》是一首由史蒂芬·柯林斯·福斯特（1826-1864）創作的美國民歌，原名《old black Joe》。作者寫作本曲除了寄託對老黑奴的哀思以外，也融進了對自己當時境遇的哀歎。
