唱方大同的歌，学自己的英语（四）

    这首由“灵魂歌王”雷•查尔斯•鲁滨逊（Ray Charles）深情演演绎的“Georgia On My Mind”---《乔治亚州驻我心》是这位的黑人歌手经典的代表作之一。出生于美国乔治亚州的乔治亚州的雷•查尔斯•鲁滨逊曾经因反对乔治亚州的种族隔离制度，被禁止在自己的家乡乔治亚州演出，他创作了这首歌曲，表达了对于家乡的热爱。后来美国的种族歧视状况终于得到了很大的改善，雷•查尔斯•鲁滨逊也因此得到了平反，而这首《乔治亚州驻我心》也在1979年被选为乔治亚州的州歌。每当这个旋律响起，便会让人想起充满眷恋与热爱的家乡，也是这样的情愫让这首歌仿佛从过往的苍茫岁月中走来，散发着历史的余味，悲情中充满爱意。

《Georgia On My Mind》
Georgia, Georgia, the whole day through
Just an old sweet song
Keeps Georgia on my mind
Talkin' 'bout Georgia
I'm in Georgia
A song of you
Comes as sweet and clear
as moonlight through the pines
Other arms reach out to me
Other eyes smile tenderly
Still in peaceful dreams I see
The road leads back to you
Georgia, sweet Georgia, no peace I find
Just an old sweet song
Keeps Georgia on my mind
Other arms reach out to me
Other eyes smile tenderly
Still in peaceful dreams I see
The road leads back to you
I'm in Georgia, Georgia
No peace, no peace I find
Just this old, sweet song
Keeps Georgia forever... on my mind
Just an old sweet, sweet song
Keeps Georgia forever on my mind
