Seasons in the Sun

좋은 시절은 지나간 걸까요? 아님 아직 오지 않은 걸까요?

제가 중학생 때부터 들었던 올드팝 Seasons in the Sun을 소개합니다. 70년대 유명 올드팝 중의 하나죠. 생각해보니, 제가 주말에는 음악을 남기는 버릇이 있네요. 주말이 되면 더욱 센치해지는 걸까요? ^^

눈을 감으면 우울하고 슬펐던 아련한 그 시절로 돌아갑니다. 경쾌한 리듬에 실린 서글픈 가사.

하단의 노래는 Terry Jacks가 부르는 Seasons in the Sun입니다.



이 노래의 원곡은 자크 브렐이 부른 샹송이죠. 즉 Seasons in the Sun은 번안곡입니다. 원곡도 한번 들어보시죠.



그리고 왠지 지치고도 퇴폐적으로 부르는 너바나의 노래로도 들어보세요. 특히 연주가 훌륭하죠.

Seasons in the Sun

Goodbye to you my trusted friend
We've known each other since we were nine or ten
Together we've climbed hills and trees
Learned of love and ABC's
Skinned our hearts and skinned our knees

Goodbye my friend it's hard to die
When all the birds are singing in the sky
Now that the spring is in the air
Pretty girls are everywhere
Think of me and I'll be there

We had joy, we had fun
We had seasons in the sun
But the hills that we climbed
Were just seasons out of time

Goodbye Papa, please pray for me
I was the black sheep of the family
You tried to teach me right from wrong
Too much wine and too much song
Wonder how I got along

Goodbye Papa, it's hard to die
When all the birds are singing in the sky
Now that the spring is in the air
Little children everywhere
When you see them I'll be there

We had joy, we had fun
We had seasons in the sun
But the wine and the song
Like the seasons have all gone

We had joy, we had fun
We had seasons in the sun
But the wine and the song
Like the seasons have all gone

Goodbye Michelle, my little one
You gave me love and helped me find the sun
And every time when I was down
You would always come around
And get my feet back on the ground

Goodbye Michelle, it's hard to die
When all the birds are singing in the sky
Now that the spring is in the air
With the flowers everywhere
I wish that we could both be there

We had joy, we had fun
We had seasons in the sun
But the stars we could reach
Were just starfish on the beach

We had joy, we had fun
We had seasons in the sun
But the stars we could reach
Were just starfish on the beach

We had joy, we had fun
We had seasons in the sun
But the wine and the song
Like the seasons have all gone

All our lives we had fun
We had seasons in the sun
But the hills that we climbed
Were just seasons out of time
