【高山马年庆】《The Water Is Wide》

《The Water Is Wide》

几十年在英文世界走过的路，最终都化作这一曲低回的民谣。

有人说，《The Water Is Wide》唱的是一种横渡不了的遗憾。但更愿把它看作守望——这首在北美生

活多年后录下的歌，发音里可能带着岁月磨出的棱角，但绝不是 AI 算的。

画面定格在圣约翰斯（St. John’s）的港口，那是北美最早醒来的地方。唐歌拍下雨中的一瞬，而水

彩则赋予了它温度。雨水让色彩湿润，边界柔了，时间也慢了下来。

看那抹暖红的船身，在灰蓝色的风雨里，它红得特别倔强。就像歌里的那句：“Give me a boat that

can carry two”。在最东端的冷雨里，这艘船、这辆小红车，就像寒海里的一把炭火，不为讨好谁，

只为守住心里的热量。

水彩在纸上流动，歌声在空气里轻轻荡漾。

这一刻，一起上高山，听雨，看画，入梦。

歌词选自 The Seekers 版，旧曲新唱，愿带来一丝沉香。

The water is wide;
I can't cross over
Nor do I have light wings to fly
Give me a boat that can carry two
And both shall row, my love and I.

A ship there is, and sails the sea.
She's loaded deep, as deep can be,
But not as deep, as love I'm in
And I know not how I sink or swim.

When love is young
And love is fine,
It's like gem
When first it's new.
But love grows old
And waxes cold,
And fades away
Like the morning dew.

The water is wide;
I can't cross o'er
Nor do I have light wings to fly.
Give me a boat
That can carry two,
And both shall row_
My love and I
And both shall row_
My love and I
