這一首歌我從國小就會哼
因為爸爸媽媽愛聽西洋老歌,我也養成這種習慣但以前是亂唱,
只知道尾巴有很長的伴奏到了國中,懂得單字比較多以後漸漸的會一字一句跟著唱但是,
看了康熙以後才驚覺到好像真的是一首有點阿飄味的歌曲
On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair
往黑暗沙漠的公路 冷風吹過我的頭髮
Warm smell of colitas,rising up through the airUp ahead in the distance I saw a shimmering light就在前面的遠方 我見到微光閃爍
My head grew heavy, and my sight grew dim
我的頭越發沉重 視線也越來越模糊
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
I had to stop for the night
我必須停留一晚
(因為阿飄要帶領你參觀他們的世界了!!)
There she stood in the doorway I heard the mission bell
她站在門旁 我聽到教堂鐘聲
(阿飄姑娘嗎?)
And I was thinking to myself This could be Heaven or this could be Hell
我在心理想 這兒可是天堂還是地獄
(我猜老大是Lucifer)
Then she lit up a candle And she showed me the way
然後她點亮了蠟燭 幫我帶路
(好想知道是哪一種味道的蠟燭?香水百合?檀香?)
There were voices down the corridor I thought I heard them say

Her mind is Tiffany twisted She's got the Mercedes Benz

How they dance in the courtyard Sweet summer sweat
