让生活充满阳光
Keep On the Sunny Side,中文翻译作让生活充满阳光,是一首著名的美国蓝草歌曲。1928年美国民歌组合卡特家族录制了这个歌曲,从此这首歌成为他们演唱会的压轴歌曲,从而被人们广为传唱。
歌曲的原型是一首古老的民歌小调,作者是两位福音歌曲作者阿达·布伦克霍恩(Ada Blenkhorn,生于1858年~1927年)和霍华德·安特委索(J. Howard Entwisle,生于1866年~1903年)。歌词由布伦科霍恩创作,灵感来自于她残废的侄子,每天他都坐在轮椅上被推倒街上晒太阳。卡特家族是从A.P.的叔叔那里学到这首歌,1928年在新泽西肯顿录制发行后,这首歌被广为传唱,成为了卡特家族的保留曲目[1][2]。
这首歌曲被用在了《逃狱三王》(O Brother, Where Art Thou?)里[3]。简·卡特的丈夫著名乡村音乐歌手约翰尼·卡什在他的专辑《Junkie and the Juicehead Minus Me》中翻唱了这首歌[4]。乡村音乐组合Nitty Gritty Dirt Band,在民歌专辑《Will the Circle Be Unbroken》中收录了这首歌[5]。
歌词
- There's a dark and a troubled side of life
- There's a bright and a sunny side, too
- Tho' we meet with the darkness and strife
- The sunny side we also may view
- [chorus]
- Keep on the sunny side, always on the sunny side,
- Keep on the sunny side of life
- It will help us every day, it will brighten all the way
- If we'll keep on the sunny side of life
- The storm and its fury broke today,
- Crushing hopes that we cherish so dear;
- Clouds and storms will, in time, pass away,
- The sun again will shine bright and clear.
- Let us greet with the song of hope each day
- Tho' the moment be cloudy or fair
- Let us trust in our Saviour always
- Who keepeth everyone in His care[6]
