曲名:Lights of Lousianne  

演唱:Jennifer Warnes  

选自:《The Hunter》ATIC ACD-1344

one summer night he'll light a lantern

he'll catch a tiny firefly in a jar

set her dancing on the mantle

like a piece of star

see how the boy lays low

he wants the shiver in her wing

see him hiding in the willow

playing with lightning

you don't know me

I don't know you

and the summer's come again

my oh my, the sparks are flyin'

all over Lousianne

there's lots of fishes in the sea

I swear I'm gonna catch one in my hand

make him dance for me

in the fryin' pan

you don't know me

I don't know you

and the summer's come again

my oh my, the fish are flyin'

all over Lousianne

in your eyes there's a light

it comes and it goes without a sound

if I hold on tight?

it's gonna burn me to the ground?

you don't know me

I don't know you

and the summer's come again?

my oh my, the sparks are flyin'?

all over Lousianne?

our lives go by like sparks are flyin'

all over Lousianne

歌曲虽然叫做《路易斯安那的灯火》,但这首歌怎么听都让人感到有浓烈的苏格兰草原气息。也许苏格兰也有一个口叫路易斯安那的地方?

  这是美国知名女歌手詹妮弗·沃娜斯1992年的专辑《猎人》中的一首。这之前,她的一张叫《蓝雨衣》的唱片几乎成为发烧友的身份证,成为试音校声的必播碟。事实上,詹妮弗的每一张唱片录音都很上乘,好象是专为发烧友演唱的女歌手。

  詹妮弗的歌声自然成熟,不乏知性色彩,有点象大家熟悉的台湾歌星蔡琴,不经意地透露着妖媚。这首歌她真假声并用,显示出扎实的技巧。

  这首歌的开头部分是最优美迷人的,手风琴奏出十分苏格兰风的引子,接着有几声夜莺的啼鸣,然后吉他的轻拨慢拢带出詹妮弗的哦吟,犹如乘着晚风,在星空中鸟瞰美丽的城市,一片阑珊灯火。这也是发烧友最乐意用来试音的段落。
