The Banks Of The Ohio 是一首具有浓郁民族色彩的歌曲,由美国著名民谣乐队Traditional演唱,该乐队创立于1960年代。该歌曲的创作可追溯至19世纪初期,它源自于美国南部河流流域的一首民谣。该曲最早于1901年在美国亚利桑那州的一场顾客团聚会上首次运用乐器表演。
The Banks Of The Ohio采用了传统民谣的形式与风格,旋律优美动听,简单易学,如此经典的歌曲不论是在电影,电视剧或者是现场演唱会中都十分流行。该曲被收录在Traditional乐队的专辑《Travelin''》中,发行时间为2002年。
歌曲的创作背景并不是一件令人愉快的故事,而是一个充满血腥、残忍且令人毛骨悚然的故事。歌曲中讲述了一个女孩被其暴戾的男友所杀害,男友则将尸体带到河边,掩埋在Ohio河的河滩上。歌中呈现了罪犯即将离开现场,却因顾虑一时留下回忆,流露出对被害者的爱恋之情,加上旋律轻柔,因此非常能让人心醉。
以下是歌词:
I asked my love to take a walk,
To take a walk, just a little walk,
Down beside where the waters flow,
Down by the banks of the Ohio.
And only say that you''ll be mine,
In no other''s arms entwine,
Down beside where the waters flow,
Down by the banks of the Ohio.
I took her by her lily white hand,
And I led her down, that bank of sand,
And there I let her take her stand,
Just a few more minutes to live was all I asked.
And only say that you''ll be mine,
In no other''s arms entwine,
Down beside where the waters flow,
Down by the banks of the Ohio.
I plunged a knife into her breast,
And I oft-times still feel her trembling chest,
And I kissed her lips as she was laid,
Just a few more minutes to live was all she said.
And only say that you''ll be mine,
In no other''s arms entwine,
Down beside where the waters flow,
Down by the banks of the Ohio.
这首歌表达的是对爱情的追求和对生命的珍惜。只是歌曲的背后真相却是无比的残忍,这也是这首歌词中意义的一部分,让人感到既有创作者的的深刻追思,也有被害女孩的悲壮嚎叫。该作品以其充满戏剧性和深刻的情感表达而被赞誉,也成为了美国传统民谣中的一颗明珠。
