Turn, Turn, Turn
Music by Pete Seeger
Lyrics by Pete Seeger, based on the Book of Ecclesiastes, from the King James Bible

To everything (turn, turn, turn)
There is a season (turn, turn, turn)
And a time for every purpose, under heaven

A time to be born, a time to die
A time to plant, a time to reap
A time to kill, a time to heal
A time to laugh, a time to weep

To everything (turn, turn, turn)
There is a season (turn, turn, turn)
And a time for every purpose, under heaven

A time to build up,a time to break down
A time to dance, a time to mourn
A time to cast away stones, a time to gather stones together

To everything (turn, turn, turn)
There is a season (turn, turn, turn)
And a time for every purpose, under heaven

A time of love, a time of hate
A time of war, a time of peace
A time you may embrace, a time to refrain from embracing

To everything (turn, turn, turn)
There is a season (turn, turn, turn)
And a time for every purpose, under heaven

A time to gain, a time to lose
A time to rend, a time to sew
A time to love, a time to hate
A time for peace, I swear its not too late

Can’t Take My Eyes Off Of You, sung by Frankie Valli
http://cs1343.vkontakte.ru/u7042765/audio/5c360b595b.mp3

You’re just too good to be true
Can’t take my eyes off you
You’d be like heaven to touch
I wanna hold you so much
At long last love has arrived
And I thank God I’m alive
You’re just too good to be true
Can’t take my eyes off you

Pardon the way that I stare
There’s nothing else to compare
The sight of you leaves me weak
There are no words left to speak
But if you feel like I feel
Please let me know that it’s real
You’re just too good to be true
Can’t take my eyes off you

I love you baby
And if it’s quite all right
I need you baby to warm the lonely night
I love you baby
Trust in me when I say:
Oh pretty baby, don’t bring me down, I pray
Oh pretty baby, now that I found you
Stay and let me love you, baby

Let me love you(*)

Chinese Translation

你好得不像是真的
我無法將視線從你身上移開
你就像人們嚮往的天堂
我想擁抱著你
愛情終於來臨
我感謝上帝讓我活著
你好得不像是真的
我無法將視線從你身上移開

請原諒我注視你的方式
實在是無從比較
你使我軟弱無力
使我無話可說
如果你瞭解我的感受
請讓我知道那是真的
你好得不像是真的
我無法將視線從你身上移開

我愛你，寶貝
如果可以
我需要你來溫暖這寂寞的夜
我愛你，寶貝
請相信我，當我說：
噢！漂亮寶貝，我祈求你別讓我失望
噢！漂亮寶貝，我找到了你
留下來讓我愛你，寶貝
讓我愛你

Born in the USA

Born in the USA, sung by Bruce Springsteen

Born in the USA

Born down in a dead man’s town
The first kick I took was when I hit the ground
You end up like a dog that’s been beat too much
‘Til you spend half your life just covering up

[chorus:]
Born in the U.S.A.
Born in the U.S.A.
Born in the U.S.A.
Born in the U.S.A.

I got in a little hometown jam
And so they put a rifle in my hands
Sent me off to Vietnam
To go and kill the yellow man

[chorus]

Come back home to the refinery
Hiring man says “Son if it was up to me”
I go down to see the V.A. man
He said “Son don’t you understand”

[chorus]

I had a buddy at Khe Sahn (溪山)
Fighting off the Viet Cong
They’re still there, he’s all gone
He had a little girl in Saigon
I got a picture of him in her arms

Down in the shadow of the penitentiary
Out by the gas fires of the refinery
I’m ten years down the road
Nowhere to run, ain’t got nowhere to go

I’m a long gone Daddy in the U.S.A.
Born in the U.S.A.
I’m a cool rocking Daddy in the U.S.A.
Born in the U.S.A.

布鲁斯·斯普林斯廷（英语：Bruce Springsteen，1949年）是美國鄉村與搖滾的歌手、創作者與吉他手。Springsteen經常與E街樂團共同創作與巡迴演出，此外也以個人的身份或是與其它樂手聯袂演出。一方面明顯地受到埃尔维斯·普雷斯利、伍迪·格思里、皮特·西格、埃迪·科克伦與鲍勃·迪伦的影響，而另一方面也受到60年代以來的搖滾樂與节奏布鲁斯的薰陶，斯普林斯廷的音樂也被稱作“heartland rock”，帶著流行的風味，詩人般的歌詞，與美國愛國主義情結，尤其是以他的家鄉新澤西為主軸來環繞。他對於表達一般中下階層民眾的生活，不僅是發自內心的誠懇，更有著悅耳動聽的旋律以及辛辣直截的批判，讓他得到了數座葛萊梅獎、一個奧斯卡小金人，並進入搖滾名人堂。

他最著名的專輯《Born to Run》以及《Born in the U.S.A.》恰如其份地說明了他透過歌曲企圖講述出一般民眾即使陷入在日常生活的困境時，心中仍舊可以高貴地面對，並解決它。

他創作的歌詞時常是有關於經濟拮据的人們如何生存。他也日漸被激進政治支持者所認同。斯普林斯廷對於各是各樣的救濟活動皆不辭餘力，正像在911事件發生後，隨即發行專輯《The Rising》作為回應。

斯普林斯廷嘗試著創作出兼有商業取向的搖滾樂以及帶有諷世意味的鄉村音樂的作品。他的名聲遠播以及受人歡迎有一個很大的原因:馬拉松式的演唱會–動輒超過四個小時，以無窮的活力貫串全場，無論是激情的情歌或者是讓歌迷瘋狂的名曲

Who’ll Stop the Rain?
Long as I remember The rain been comin’ down.
Clouds of myst’ry pourin’ Confusion on the ground.
Good men through the ages, Tryin’ to find the sun;
And I wonder, Still I wonder, Who’ll stop the rain.

I went down Virginia, Seekin’ shelter from the storm.
Caught up in the fable, I watched the tower grow.
Five year plans and new deals, Wrapped in golden chains.
And I wonder, Still I wonder Who’ll stop the rain.

Heard the singers playin’, How we cheered for more.
The crowd had rushed together, Tryin’ to keep warm.
Still the rain kept pourin’, Fallin’ on my ears.
And I wonder, Still I wonder Who’ll stop the rain.

Bad Moon Rising

I see a bad moon a-rising.
I see trouble on the way.
I see earthquakes and lightnin’.
I see bad times today.

Don’t go ’round tonight
It’s bound and take your life,
There’s a bad moon on the rise.

I hear hurricanes a-blowing,
I know the end is coming soon.
I fear rivers over flowing.
I hear the voice of rage and ruin.

Don’t go ’round tonight
It’s bound and take your life,
There’s a bad moon on the rise.

Hope you got your things together.
Hope you are quite prepared to die.
Look’s like we’re in for nasty weather.
One eye is taken for an eye.

Don’t go ’round tonight
It’s bound and take your life,
There’s a bad moon on the rise.
