前幾天廁所的燈炮壞掉了,昨天跑去跟學校講,今天早上就有人來換了耶,效率真快。

雖然我本身還算年輕,但我對老歌卻是情有獨鐘,我覺得經過了世世代代的相傳,能留傳下來的老歌一定不同凡響。今天介紹的這首Tie a Yellow Ribbon around the Ole Oak Tree前一陣子在公視常常播,我也順便找來了他背後的意義給大家參考看看!!
相信大家看完後,就應該知道黃絲帶是什麼意思了。
Tie a yellow ribbon around the ole oak tree
I'm coming home, I've done my time Now I've got to know what is and isn't mine If you received my letter Telling you I'd soon be free Then you'll know just what to do If you still want me, if you still want me Tie a yellow ribbon around the old oak tree It's been three long years Do you still want me If I don't see a ribbon around the old oak tree I'll stay on the bus, forget about us Put the blame on me If I don't see a yellow ribbon around the old oak tree Bus driver, please look for me Cause I couldn't bear to see what I might see I'm really still in prison And my love she holds the key Simple yellow ribbon what I need to set me free I've wrote and told her please Now the whole damn bus is cheering And I can't believe I see A hundred yellow ribbons around the old oak tree |
這首歌曲的內容,是一則發生在美國的真實故事。故事的主角是一位因倒閉破產而被判服刑三年的男子,在出獄前夕,他寫了一封信給在喬治亞州的妻子,問她是否還願意接納他,如果願意的話,便在他出獄當天,在家門前那棵老橡樹上繫上一條黃絲帶,如果答案是否的話,也就是他沒有看到黃絲帶的話,他會識趣的離開。
在返家的公車上,男主角的心裡七上八下,既期待又怕受傷害,在即將到家的時候,他甚至不敢睜開眼睛,而懇求公車司機幫他打探結果………………終於,謎底揭曉了,只聽見公車司機和車上所有的乘客同聲為他歡呼,他睜開雙眼,竟然看到老橡樹上數以百計的黃絲帶在風中飛舞,頓時感動得熱淚盈眶!
這首歌曾在1973年登上美國排行榜四週冠軍,後來並在美國成為一種風俗:在家門前的樹上繫上黃絲帶,以歡迎久別歸來的親人。
