<p class="ql-block">《Population Zero》</p><p class="ql-block">创作及演唱：金松（校联杯海外校友原创歌曲冠军获得者）</p> <p class="ql-block">介绍： 一块”人口：0“的路牌，一首点唱机里的老歌， 让两个陌生人有了交集。一句”我会回来”留在了西部旷野的风中，也留在了四季等候里。木工的《Population Zero》讲的是他一位牛仔朋友的故事。真实内容包括两位主角，他当过海军，以及他和他太太的一见钟情，也包括这块独特路牌。剩下的就是故事了。#原创音乐#英文歌曲#乡村音乐#民谣#木工棚（微信视频号）</p> 视频 歌词 <p class="ql-block">1 October sunset painted Rocky Mountain gold, 十月的落日,把落基山染成金色,</p><p class="ql-block">2 He drove north as the evening air grew cold. 他驱车北上,夜风渐渐变凉。</p><p class="ql-block">3 “Population Zero,” read a weathered sign, “人口为零”,一块风化的路牌写着,</p><p class="ql-block">4 Two old pumps stood past the county line. 两台老旧的油泵,立在县界之外。</p><p class="ql-block">5 He stopped for gas and a bite to eat, 他停下加油,顺便吃点东西,</p><p class="ql-block">6 She smiled and offered him a seat. 她微笑着,给他让了个座。</p><p class="ql-block">7 He passed her a twenty dollar bill, 他递给她一张二十美元,</p><p class="ql-block">8 Their fingers touched, and the world went still. 指尖相触的瞬间,世界仿佛静止。</p><p class="ql-block">9 He put a quarter in the jukebox and picked that song again, 他往点唱机投了枚硬币,又点了那首歌,</p><p class="ql-block">10 Old George was singin' “I can still make Cheyenne.” 老乔治唱着“我还能赶到夏延”。</p><p class="ql-block">11 “May I have this dance?” She smiled and took his hand. “可以请你跳支舞吗?”她微笑着牵起他的手。</p><p class="ql-block">12 Between the coffee pots and the souvenir stands, 在咖啡壶和纪念品架之间,</p><p class="ql-block">13 The song kept playing until God knows when. 那首歌一直放着,不知放到了几时。</p><p class="ql-block">14 He said, “I'll be back.
