這首《科羅拉多之夜》(Moonlight On The Colorado)
是1930年的音樂,由 Billy Moll 作詞,
Robert A. "Bobo" King 作曲。
以後就被當作民謠一般地傳唱著。
名合唱團 The Platters 也曾灌唱過。
歌名直譯的話應該是《科羅拉多河上的月光》
很單純很有民謠風的歌詞,
訴説著對於分離了戀人的思念。
這裡貼的爵士風錄音,
是由名爵士竪笛手 Jimmie Noone(1895-1944)演唱。 另一個純音樂錄音的樂團是 The Mon and Dads.
Jimmie Noone - Moonlight On The Colorado
Moonlight on the River Colorado
How I wish that I were there with you
As I sit and find each lonely shadow
Takes me back to days that we once knew
We were to wed in harvest time you said
That's why I'm longing for you
When it's moonlight on the Colorado
I wonder if you're waiting for me too
We were to wed in harvest time you said
That's why I'm longing for you-ooo
When it's moonlight on the Colorado
I wonder if you're waiting for me too
