Gordon Lightfoot - Chàng Don Quixote của âm nhạc

Hôm nay giới thiệu ca nhạc sĩ người Canada là Gordon Lightfoot. Nghe tên bảo đảm bà con thấy lạ hoắc liền. Âm nhạc Gordon Lightfoot có chất rất riêng của nó, nghe là nhận ra liền. Một thứ âm nhạc rất sang, ma mị và đầy ám ảnh với tôi còn lời ca trong bài hát của ông là một kho tàng của riêng tôi. Và tương truyền Bob Dylan - nhạc sĩ Nobel văn học 2016 - cũng là fan của Gordon Lightfoot (Đồn đãi thì biết vậy thôi hehe) và từng phát biểu mỗi lần ông nghe Gordon Lightfoot không muốn nó dừng lại và tôi cũng xin được đồng cảm với Bob Dylan


Through the woodland, through the valley
Comes a horseman wild and free
Tilting at the windmills passing




If you could read my mind, love 
What a tale my thoughts could tell. 
Just like an old time movie, 
'Bout a ghost from a wishing well.
In a castle dark or a fortress strong 
With chains upon my feet.
You know that ghost is me. 
And I will never be set free, 
As long as I'm a ghost that you can't see.

If I could read your mind, love 
What a tale your thoughts could tell.
Just like a paperback novel, 
The kind the drugstores sell.
When you reach the part where the heartaches come,
the hero would be me.
Heroes often fail.
And you won't read that book again 
Because the ending's just too hard to take.

I walk away like a movie star 
Who gets burned in a three way script.
Enter number two, 
A movie queen to play the scene 
Of bringing all the good things out in me, 
But for now love lets be real.

I never thought I could act this way 
And I've got to say that I just don't get it.
I don't know where we went wrong 
But the feelings gone and I just can't get it back.

If you could read my mind, love
What a tale my thoughts could tell.
Just like an old time movie 
'Bout a ghost from a wishing well.
In a castle dark or a fortress strong 
With chains upon my feet,
The story always ends.
If you read between the lines 
You'll know that I'm just trying to understand
The feeling that you LACK.

I never thought I could feel this way 
And I got to say that I just don't get it.
I don't know where we went wrong 
But the feelings gone 
And I just can't get it back.




She's been lookin' like a queen in a sailor's dream
And she don't always say what she really means
Sometimes I think it's a shame
When I get feelin' better when I'm feelin' no pain
Sometimes I think it's a shame
When I get feelin' better when I'm feelin' no pain




Rainy day people always seem to know when it's time to call
Rainy day people don't talk, they just listen till they've heard it all
Rainy day lovers don't lie when they tell 'ya they've been down like you

Rainy day people don't mind if you're cryin' a tear or two 
If you get lonely, all you really need is that rainy day love
Rainy day people all know there's no sorrow they can't rise above
Rainy day lovers don't love any others, that would not be kind
Rainy day people all know how it hangs on a piece of mind 

Rainy day lovers don't lie when they tell you, they've been down there too
Rainy day people don't mind if you're cryin' a tear or two. 

Rainy day people always seem to know when you're feeling blue
High stepping strutters who land in the gutters sometimes need one too
Take it or leave it, or try to believe it
If you've been down too long 

Rainy day lovers don't hide love inside they just pass it on
Rainy day lovers don't hide love inside they just pass it on:
