電影《費(fèi)城故事》的結(jié)尾:清晨,空曠孤寂的費(fèi)城大街上,主人公蹣跚而行,滿臉的疲憊,雙眼充滿著無助和絕望。此時音樂響起,便是這首“Streets Of Philadelphia”(費(fèi)城的街道)。這首歌曲由以前從不為電影跨刀的美國著名的搖滾詩人布魯斯·斯普林斯廷(Bruce Springsteen)譜詞作曲,并親自演唱,并一舉獲得獲得奧斯卡最佳歌曲獎。斯普林斯廷的歌曲內(nèi)容雖然充滿了憂慮甚至絕望,但他的性格中仍保留有許多執(zhí)著的信念,這點(diǎn)在這首歌曲中表現(xiàn)得淋漓盡致。當(dāng)我們聆聽這首歌時,可以充分感受到對愛滋病患者的包容,亦或是為移民鳴不平,展現(xiàn)了一種直視美國靈魂深處的內(nèi)省力。



Streets Of Philadelphia
by Bruce Springsteen


I was bruised and battered and I couldn't tell
What I felt
I was unrecognizable to myself
I saw my reflection in a window I didnt know
My own face
Oh brother are you gonna leave me
Wastin′away
On the streets of philadelphia

I walked the avenue till my legs felt like stone
I heard the voices of friends vanished and gone
At night I could hear the blood in my veins
Black and whispering as the rain
On the streets of philadelphia

Aint no angel gonna greet me
Its just you and I my friend
My clothes dont fit me no more
I walked a thousand miles
Just to slip the skin

The night has fallen, I'm lyin awake
I can feel myself fading away
So receive me brother with your faithless kiss
Or will we leave each other alone like this
On the streets of philadelphia
