Surfin' - The Beach Boys

گروه پاپ آمریکایی The Beach Boys در سال 1961 ترانه‌ای با عنوان «Surfin'» منتشر کرد که به سبب هارمونی‌های نوآورانه و اجرای ملودی بسیار پیچیده، به شهرت رسید. این ترانه که به‌دست برایان ویلسون و مایک لاو نوشته‌شد، بسیار کوتاه (حدود دو دقیقه) بود اما همین ترانه‌ی دو دقیقه‌ای، این گروه را در ژانر Surf Rock قرار داد! از معروف‌ترین گروه‌هایی که در همین سبک فعالیت می‌کردند می‌توان به The Astronauts اشاره کرد که معاصر The Beach Boys بود و این تقارن زمانی، تاثیر موسیقایی متقابلی روی هر دو گروه به جا گذاشت و ترانه‌ی Surfin' شروع قدرت‌مند این تقارن بود. از این‌جا بشنوید.

Surfin' is the only life
The only way for me.
Now surf, surf with me

Bom Bom Dit Di Dit Dip
Bom Bom Dit Di Dit Dip
I got up this mornin' turned on my radio
I was checkin' on the surfin' scene
To see if I would go
And when the DJ tells me that the surfin' is fine
That's when I know my baby and I will have a good time

We're going surfin'
Bom bom dip di dit
Surfin'
Bom bom dip di dit

Surfin' is the only life the only way for me
Now surf
Surf with me
Bom bom dip di dit
Bom bom dip di dit

From the early morning to the middle of the night
Any time the surf is up the time is right
And when the surf is down to take its place
We'll do the Surfer's Stomp it's the latest dance craze

We're going surfin'
Bom bom dip di dit
Surfin'
Bom bom dip di dit
Surfin'
Bom bom dip di dit

Surfin' is the only life the only way for me
Now surf
Surf with me
Bom bom dip di dit
Bom bom dip di dit

Now the dawn is breaking and we really gotta go
But we'll be back here very soon that you better know
Yeah my surfer knots are rising and my board is losing wax
But that won't stop me baby cause you know I'm coming back

As I walk along I wonder what went wrong
With our love, a love that was so strong
And as I still walk on I think of the things
We've done together while our hearts were young

I'm a walking in the rain, to the bone I feel the pain
Wishing you were here by me to end this misery
And I wonder, I w-w-wonder, why, you ran away
And I wonder if you will stay, my little runaway, my runaway

I'm a walking in the rain, to the bone I feel the pain
Wishing you were here by me to end this misery
And I wonder, I w-w-wonder baby yeah, you know why, you ran away
And I wonder if you will stay, my little runaway, my little runaway

Come back baby
Run, run, runaway
You left me standing in the rain
(Run, run, runaway)

Come back baby
Run, run, runaway
Standing in the rain
Run, run, runaway

Chris de Burgh _ The Words I Love You

يكي از زيباترين و بانشاط ترين كارهاي كريس دي برگ آهنگ "دِ وُردز آي لاو يو" از آلبوم "دِ روُد تو فرييدِم" است. "اين آهنگ دلنشين تركيبي ست از حرف هاي جدي و مِلودي ساده و جذاب! شايد همين سادگي به نگهداشتن نكات مهم تر آهنگ در ذهن و قلب شنونده بيانجامد، چيزي كه وجودش براي موضوع اصلي اين آهنگ يعني "عشق" ضروري به نظرمي رسد. همانطوركه از اسم آهنگ نيز پيداست موضوع اصلي اين آهنگ، "عشق" و بيان نمودن آن است." (به نقل از بِري دُنُوان)
شايد اين ترانه براي ايراني ها به خاطر اجراي آن توسط كريس با گروه ايراني "آرين" به نوعي متفاوت باشد.

متن ترانه:

The Words "I Love You" from The Road To Freedom

By Chris de Burgh

Year Released: 2004

Playing Time: 3:26

There are those who think that love comes with a lifetime guarantee,

But we know from those around us, that this may not always be,

It’s the simple things that come between a father and a son,

But when they try to talk, the knives are out before they have begun;

Well that was me, and I have seen the light that shines for eternity,

Because I learned to say the words “I love you;”

So many hearts have been broken by the lies of history,

And so many arms are still open for that final mystery;

We must show respect for all the rest, and what a man believes,

And the one who died upon the cross, well he is the one for me,

And he said “Come with me and you will see the light that shines

For eternity, be strong and learn to say the words “I love you;”

And this endless road that we are on just keeps on going round,

So come with me, and you will see the light that shines for eternity,

Be strong and learn to say the words “I love you,”

Be strong and learn to say the words “I love you,” the words “I love you,”

The words “I love you,” the words “I love you.”

But there’s one destination that always is here to be found;
