Don't know why Norah Jones
I waited till I saw the sun
Don't know why I didn't come
I left you by the house of fun
Don't know why I didn't come
Don't know why I didn't come
When I saw the break of day
I wished that I could fly away
Instead of kneeling in the sand
Catching teardrops in my hand
My heart is drenched in wine
But you'll be on my mind
Forever
Out across the endless sea
I would die in ecstasy
But I'll be a bag of bones
Driving down the road alone
My heart is drenched in wine
But you'll be on my mind
Forever
Something has to make you run
Don't know why I didn't come
I feel as empty as a drum
Don't know why I didn't come
Don't know why I didn't come
I don't know why I didn't come 不知为何 诺拉琼丝
枯等着终于见到第一道曙光
不懂自己为何没现身
将你留在我俩欢聚的地方
不懂自己为何未现身
不懂自己为何未现身
当我看到破晓的天空
期盼自己能远走高飞
而不是跪坐在沙滩上
用双手盛满泪水
我只能藉酒消愁
但你会萦绕在我心头
直到永远
一望无际的大海外
我愿在狂喜中离开人世
但我不过是一具行尸走肉
独自走完寂寞的人生旅程
我只能藉酒消愁
但你挥之不去的身影一直萦绕在我心中
直到永远
有些事情让你逃避
不懂自已为何没现身
我像一面虚无的鼓
不懂自己为何没出现
不懂自己为何没出现
我不懂自己为何没出现 Norah Jones的畅销单曲"不知为何Don't know why"名字取得真贴切，为什么？很多乐评都觉得奇怪，为何从来就没听说过她？这位集歌手、词曲作者、钢琴手于一身的女孩不知从哪冒出来，击败布鲁斯史宾斯汀这样的歌坛老将，赢得2003年的葛莱美奖，且是个大赢家，大家是否有瞧见一直不断上台吐舌头领奖的俏模样。虽然她炫丽、悦耳的歌声我们不是很熟悉，但这位来自德州的廿三岁歌手，从很小的时候就开始走上成名之路。她从五岁起在教堂合唱团唱歌，两年后上钢琴课，初中就学时吹奏中音萨克斯风。
Norah Jones在某次访谈中提到她从小对音乐的热爱时表示：我妈妈有一套八张唱片的比莉哈乐黛专辑，我挑出一张自己喜欢的反复拨放，最喜欢的歌是【你在我心头】这位在十六岁生日时首度公开表演，并令满场听众听的如痴如醉的小女孩，很快就到New York表演，并与颇具声望的蓝音符(Blue Note)唱片公司签下合约。
Norah Jones之所以这么有才华，还有另一个原因：她的父亲是为披头四引荐东方音乐的西塔琴大师拉维香卡。虽然Norah Jones由母亲扶养长大，她还是受到拉维香卡的影响。但她很少提及名人父亲，很多媒体一直猜测父女关系不好，使她一直强调非属实，只是不想让别人觉得自己利用父亲的名气来抬高身价。 |
