成事想心——《Thank God I'm A Country Boy》

 陈嘻_yh 2021-09-15

周五快乐!来听《Thank God I'm A Country Boy》

这首歌由美国著名乡村民谣歌手John Denver演唱,歌词描述的是乡村男孩的幸福生活,旋律洒脱不羁,很适合在周五晚上听,听完是不是放松了许多呢?不管是城市精英还是乡村男孩,都可以过得很开心呀。

记不清是小学还是初中,做过一道题,让列出几个顺序和倒序意思完全不同的词语,比如“事故”和“故事”,“火柴”和“柴火”,等等。不知为什么,这道题时常在我脑中浮现,所以我看到一个词,总是习惯性地想想倒序是不是能念得通。

今天看到一个很好的词,心想事成,心中所求都能成真,这是多美妙的一件事,如果倒着念呢?成事想心,当你所求之事成真之后,还应该想想自己的初心,想想当初做成这件事的目的到底是什么,有没有迷失。

我当初咬着牙自己买车买房,是为了能不用被工资高低绑架,够养活自己就行,可后来也忍不住起了攀比之心,有了一套小房子,还想要大房子;有了一辆代步车,还想要豪车;有了一份稳定工作,还想要高薪工作……这山望着那山高,把自己整的疲惫不堪,总觉得自己的生活不够好。

但John Denver之所以能酣畅淋漓地笑着喊出“Oh!Thank God I'm a country boy”是因为他记得自己的本心啊,他觉得简单悠闲的生活就是幸福,所以他不会妄自菲薄,也不会羡慕旁人,只会发自内心感激上帝。

希望我能时不时想想这句话——成事想心

希望你能过上最想要的生活——心想事成

歌词如下:

Well life on the farm is kinda laid back

乡村生活有那么一点舒服悠闲

Ain't much an old country boy like me can't hack

咱这样能干的乡下小伙可不多

It's early to rise, early in the sack

天亮扛锄上山,傍晚日落回家

Thank god I'm a country boy

感谢上帝,让咱是个乡下小伙

Well a simple kinda life never did me no harm

简单生活带着一点点平静安宁

A raisin' me a family and workin' on a farm

带着一家老小,在农庄里劳作

Days are all filled with an easy country charm

Thank god I'm a country boy

感谢上苍,让咱是个乡下小伙

Well I got me a fine wife I got me a fiddle

娶了个好老婆,得了把旧提琴

When the work's all done and the sun's settlin' low

I pull out my fiddle and I rosin up the bow

拿出我的提琴,绷紧我的琴弓

Kids are asleep so I keep it kinda low

孩子都已入睡,我也轻轻演奏

Thank god I'm a country boy

感谢上苍,让咱是个乡下小伙

I'd play Sally Goodin' all day if I could

我会整天拉着那首漫步莎莉园

But the lord and my wife wouldn't take it very good

但是主和咱的老婆不会很喜欢

So I fiddle when I could, work when I should

Lid rather have my fiddle and my farmin' tools

咱更喜欢咱的提琴和那些农具

Thank god I'm a country boy

Well, my fiddle was my daddy's till the day he died

咱这提琴是我爸走时留给我的

And he took me by the hand and held me close to his side

他拉着我的手,叫我在他身旁

Said "live a good life and play my fiddle with pride"

告诉我要好好生活,自在拉琴

Well my daddy taught me young how to hunt and how to whittle

我爸教会咱怎么打猎和做木工

Taught me how to work and play a tune on the fiddle

教我怎样去爱,怎样拿捏火候

Thank god I'm a country boy, Yeah

感谢上苍啊,咱是个乡下小伙
