曾经让我们醉倒的经典老歌Yestoday once more
when i was young i'd listen to the radio 年少时我喜欢听着收音机
waiting for my favorite songs 等候我喜欢的歌曲轻轻响起
when they played i'd sing along, 我独自为它伴唱
it make me smile. 让我感到欢喜
those were such happy times and not so long ago 这样的幸福时光早已远去
how i wondered where they'd gone. 我多想知道他们到了那里?
but they're back again just like a long lost friend 象失散朋友再次回来
all the songs i love so well. 所有的歌曲 我还是那样喜欢
every shalala every wo'wo 每一句 sha la la la
still shines. 每一句wo wo 仍散发光芒
every shing-a-ling-a-ling that they're starting to sing 每一句sing aling aling
so fine 他们唱得还是如此动听
when they get to the part 当歌曲演绎到
where he's breaking her heart 伤心的地方
it can really make me cry 确实让我哭泣
just like before. 这是 昨日重现啊
it's yesterday once more. 回头看看走过的这些时光
(shoobie do lang lang)
looking bak on how it was in years gone by 曾有的幸福让今天的我很感伤
and the good times that had
makes today seem rather sad,
so much has changed. 有太多已经改变
it was songs of love that i would sing to them 那首我曾为他唱的爱情歌曲
and i'd memorise each word. 每句歌词还印在我脑海里
those old melodies still sound so good to me 那些旧的记忆依旧那么美妙
as they melt the years away 为我带走这么多年的忧伤
every shalala every wo'wo still shines 每一句 sha la la la
every shing-a-ling-a-ling that they're startingto sing 每一句wo wo 仍散发光芒
so fine 每一句sing aling aling 他们唱得还是如此动听
all my best memorise come back clearly to me 所有美妙回忆
some can even make me cry 清晰向我袭击 一些确实让我哭泣
just like before. 就象以前那样
it's yesterday once more.
(shoobie do lang lang) 这是昨日重现啊
every shalala every wo'wo still shines.
every shing-a-ling-a-ling that they're starting to sing
so fine
every shalala every wo'wo still shines.
every shing-a-ling-a-ling that they're starting to sing

卡朋特兄妹”是来自美国康涅狄格州纽黑文市的一支兄妹二重唱组合。哥哥理查德(Richard Carpenter,生于1946年10月15日,健盘手兼歌手)和妹妹卡伦(Karen Carpenter,生于1950年3月2日,歌手兼鼓手)。上帝总是嫉妒赋有才华的人,当我们想起卡朋特的时候,这样想是最好的安慰。这对兄妹组合无疑是七十年代最成功的流行音乐组合之一,他们在八十年代初结束演艺生涯前创作了无数好歌。虽然最先显现音乐天才的是哥哥Richard,可是妹妹Karen那近乎完美和极富感情的嗓音却更深地印刻在我们的心里。
卡朋特最初的道路并不顺畅,他们和好友Webs Jacobs的第一盒样带以失败告终,但这并未在他们日后的演艺生涯中带来丝毫阴影。1968年,兄妹俩的首张专辑《offering》借助beatles的《Ticket To Ride》得到注意,于是和当时许多成名歌手一样,他们开始走上流行摇滚之路。可是时代为卡朋特创造了机会,就象十九世纪的美国需要秀兰.邓波尔一样,六十年代的美国将卡朋特捧为了英雄。就在人们里和街道上的毫不间歇的骚乱暴动,经历着史上最大一次代沟问题,而陷入无助和绝望的时候,这对来自Downey小镇的,歌声醇美,轮廓鲜明,总爱唱着爱情歌曲的兄妹便成了救世主,一时间,所有的父母和孩子都开始聆听同一首歌“why do birds,suddenly appear,everytime you are near....”卡朋特用《close to you》搭起了两代人之间的桥梁,歌声里跃动着他们热爱生命的心。整个七十年代早期,卡朋特一直在不停的成长,慢慢成为了全世界最负盛名的流行音乐组合,录制了无数排行榜金曲,“Rainy Days and Mondays”,“Goodbye to Love”,“We've Only Just begun”和“Top of the World”都是当时耳熟能详的歌曲,Grammy奖也毫不迟疑的降临在他们的额上。可生活总不会是一帆风顺的,到了1975年,卡朋特一贯坚持的Pop-Rock路线逐渐变得不时髦了,Richard和Karen也被各自的个人问题所困扰,卡朋特有了解散的迹象,Karen和Phil Ramone 一起录制了一张个人专辑。但几个月后,兄妹二人又在一起演出了,1981年的《Made in America》是他们最出色的一张专辑。
就在人们以为卡朋特就要恢复昔日雄风时,悲剧发生了。----不幸地,她患了厌食症。在karen的墓碑上刻着这样简单的文字:a star on earth,a star in heaven.“A sang for you”,十七年后的今天,Karen还在深情地唱着:“and when my life is over, remember when we were together,we were alone and I was singing this song for you!” 仍旧是邻家那个嗓音恬美的女孩,和她的名字卡朋特一样纯朴。
