The Ballad Of St. Anne's Reel - John Denver (约翰·丹佛)[00:00:00]
He was stranded in some tiny town on fair Prince Edward Isle[00:00:07]
Awaiting for a ship to come and find him[00:00:11]
A one-horse place a friendly face some coffee and a tiny trace[00:00:16]
Of fiddling in the distance far behind him[00:00:20]
A dime across the counter then a shy hello a brand new friend[00:00:25]
A walk along the street in the wintry weather[00:00:29]
A yellow light an open door a welcome friend there's room for more[00:00:33]
And then they're standing there inside together[00:00:37]
He said I've heard that tune before somewhere but I can't remember when[00:00:41]
Was it on some other friendly shore or did I hear it on the wind[00:00:46]
Was it written on the sky above I think I heard it from someone I love[00:00:50]
But I never heard it sound so sweet since then[00:00:55]
Now his feet begin to tap a little boy says I'll take your hat[00:01:18]
He's caught up in the magic of her smile[00:01:22]
And leap the heart inside him went and off across the floor he sent[00:01:27]
His clumsy body graceful as a child[00:01:31]
He said there's magic in the fiddler's arm there's magic in this town[00:01:35]
There's magic in the dancers' feet and the way they put them down[00:01:39]
People smiling everywhere boots and ribbons locks of hair[00:01:44]
And laughter and old blue suits and Easter gowns[00:01:48]
Now the sailor's gone the room is bare the old piano's sitting there[00:02:11]
Someone's hat's left hanging on the rack[00:02:16]
And empty chairs the wooden floor that feels the touch of shoes no more[00:02:20]
Awaiting for the dancers to come back[00:02:24]
And the fiddle's in the closet of some daughter of the town[00:02:28]
The strings are broke and the bow is gone and the cover's buttoned down[00:02:33]
But sometimes on December nights when the air is cold and the wind is right[00:02:37]
There's a melody that passes through this town[00:02:42]
