Achilles'heel

Kashmir (克什米尔)
(Bonham/Jones/Page/Plant)

Oh let the sun beat down upon my face, stars to fill my dream

哦  就让阳光直射我的脸      星星弥漫着我的梦
I am a traveler of both time and space, to be where I have been

我是个时空间的旅行者        在未知中穿梭

To sit with elders of the gentle race, this world has seldom seen

和优雅的老者坐在一起        这世界已看不见
They talk of days for which they sit and wait and all will be revealed

他们整天坐等着闲谈           真相却将被揭露.......

Talk and song from tongues of lilting grace, whose sounds caress my ear

用欢快的音调说话歌唱        声音抚慰着耳朵 
But not a word I heard could I relate, the story was quite clear

可一个词也无法联想        这故事过于直白 

 Oh, oh.

哦,哦. 

 Oh, I been flying... mama, there ain't no denyin'

哦,我想飞 ..妈妈..妈妈..请不要拒绝...

I've been flying, ain't no denyin', no denyin'

我在飞...不要拒绝.. 妈妈....请不要拒绝.....

All I see turns to brown, as the sun burns the ground

眼前的一切转变为褐色       太阳的火舌炙烤着大地
And my eyes fill with sand, as I scan this wasted land

沙子渐渐渗入了眼睛       当我凝视着这荒芜之地
Trying to find, trying to find where I've been.

尽力去找    尽力去找    我去向何方..... 

Oh, pilot of the storm who leaves no trace, like thoughts inside a dream

哦,风暴驾御者从不留痕迹    就像梦中转瞬即逝的思绪
Heed the path that led me to that place, yellow desert stream

沿着足迹我找到了那地方     黄色沙漠中奔流的小溪 

My Shangri-La beneath the summer moon, I will return again

满月下我田园诗般的天堂      我将再次回归
Sure as the dust that floats high in June, when movin' through Kashmir.

六月里飘浮起高高的尘埃      当人们穿越克什米尔

Oh, father of the four winds, fill my sails, across the sea of years

哦   四季风的父亲啊   请助我们航行   穿越那岁月的海洋
With no provision but an open face, along the straits of fear

沿着这恐怖的峡谷   没有粮食的供应    却有笑脸的补给      ...

Ohh.

哦
When I'm on, when I'm on my way, yeah

当我在  当我在我的路途上
When I see, when I see the way, you stay-yeah

当看到 当我看到   你仍伫立遥望着......

Ooh, yeah-yeah, ooh, yeah-yeah, when I'm down...

哦....是的....哦.....是的........我   ..被打败了.......
Ooh, yeah-yeah, ooh, yeah-yeah, well I'm down, so down

哦..真的...... 哦......真的.......我被打败了....打败了.......
Ooh, my baby, oooh, my baby, let me take you there

哦..宝贝....就让我带你到那儿.......
Let me take you there. Let me take you there

让我带你到那儿  .. 宝贝 ..  就让我带你到克什米尔........

 

     1979年8月,LED ZEPPELIN在Knebworth表演了这首Kashmir (克什米尔).感谢前不久出版的LZ精选LIVE,通过这些珍贵的影象资料让我有幸目睹了四位团员英姿勃发的现场演.Kashmir (克什米尔).被公认为是LZ的代表作之一,其中蕴涵的东方神秘主义将LED ZEPPELIN的音乐提升到了哲学高度.当最后ROBRET PLANT喊出":PEOPLE! LET ME TAKE THERE!PEOPLE!LET ME TAKE THERE!...."的时候,现场的观众都点亮了他们的打火机,诺大的场馆星星点点,一种超越现实的神圣感弥漫开来.那时我感到这已经不是演唱会,而是一场宗教朝圣了,.JIMMYPAGE在此曲中弱化了他的吉他炫技,Bonham出神入化的鼓技成了主角,由于一年后Bonham就死于酗酒,伟大的LED ZEPPELIN的传奇也将划上句号,这段现场更显得弥足珍贵;Jones的背景弦乐一遍遍冲击着你的耳朵和神经.与日后那些乐队先进前卫的现场电子乐氛围,五彩缤纷的激光束映称相比,LED ZEPPELIN的现场始终忠于原始乐器弹奏,没有胡里花哨摆噱头的东西.这正是老一辈摇滚人的魅力----除了给你感官上的刺激外,更多的是精神上的震撼.
