    Chorus:
    This is the story of how we begin to remember
    This is the powerful pulsing of love in the vein
    After the dream of falling and calling your name out
    These are the roots of rhythm and the roots of rhythm remain

    Joseph's face was black as night
    The pale yellow moon shone in his eyes
    His path was marked
    By the stars in the Southern Hemisphere
    And he walked his days
    Under African skies
    This is the story of how we begin to remember
    This is the powerful pulsing of love in the vein
    After the dream of falling and calling your name out
    These are the roots of rhythm
    And the roots of rhythm remain
    In early memory
    Mission music
    Was ringing 'round my nursery door
    I said take this child, Lord
    From Tucson Arizona
    Give her the wings to fly through harmony
    And she won't bother you no more
    This is the story of how we begin to remember
    This is the powerful pulsing of love in the vein

      @danielnikolic 10 месяцев назад +2

      There's a story behind it. L. Ronstadt was criticized a lot at that time because she broke boycott of South Africa by performing there. However, other musicians broke it too -- for example, Queen, a tiny detail somehow left out in that movie about Freddie Mercury. So P. Simon included her on an album which featured many black South African musicians.

    This song in particular, and the whole album had a beautifully crafted African influence, Ladysmith Black Mambazo on diamonds on the soles of her shoes and so on, this rendition with Linda Ronstadt is epic and as the original still reigns supreme but there are a few other renditions with slightly altered lyrics that are right up there, the live version with the late great Miriam Makeba in Harare Zimbabwe circa 1987 is definitely right up there, one of my favorite songs of all time

    Josephs face was as black as night
    죠셉의 얼굴은 밤하늘처럼 검었어요.
    And the pale yellow moon shone in his eyes
    그리고 옅은 노란빛의 달이 그의 눈에서 빛나고 있죠.
    His path was marked
    그가 가야할 길이 남반구에서 빛나는
    By the stars in the southern hemisphere
    별들에 의해 표시되었어요.
    And he walked the length of his days
    그리고 그는 아프리카 하늘 아래에서
    Under african skies
    그의 나날을 걸었죠.
    This is the story of how we begin to remember
    우리가 어떻게 기억하기 시작했는지에 대한 이야기입니다.
    This is the powerful pulsing of love in the vein
    이건 정맥에서 일어나는 강력한 사랑의 맥박이죠.
    After the dream of falling and calling your name out
    떨어지는 꿈을 꾼 후 당신의 이름을 불러봅니다.
    These are the roots of rhythm
    이것들은 리듬의 근원이며
    And the roots of rhythm remain
    아직 리듬의 근원은 남아있습니다.
    In early memory
    아주 어릴 적 기억 속
    Mission music
    교회 음악이
    Was ringing round my nursery door
    내 보육원 문 주변에서 울리고 있었어요.
    I said take this child, lord
    나는 말했습니다. 신이시여,
    From tucson arizona
    애리조나 주 투손 출신인 아이를 데려가주세요.
    Give her the wings to fly through harmony
    그녀가 조화를 이루며 날아갈 수 있게 날개를 주세요.
    And she wont bother you no more
    그리고 그녀는 당신을 귀찮게 하지 않을 거에요.
