The Byrds - Mr.Tambourine Man

飞鸟乐队（The Byrds）
飞鸟乐队由五人组成，核心人物是吉姆·麦吉恩（Jim McGuinn），1964年飞鸟乐队成立以前，麦吉恩曾与民谣有过密切接触，包括参加鲍勃·迪伦的乐队。1965年，飞鸟乐队发行了他们演唱的《手鼓先生》（Mr．Tambourine Man）等4首由迪伦创作的歌曲。这样用电声的、摇滚化的方式来伴奏民谣歌曲，在当时是一件新鲜事物。1965年6月，飞鸟乐队的翻唱版《手鼓先生》获第一名，给迪伦带来很大名声，也使他们自己成为了明星。或许，他们本来可以达到与"沙滩男孩"、鲍勃·迪伦，甚至"披头士"同样的地位，可惜的是乐队内部不和，人员经常变换，影响了演奏质量和听众心理。到60年代中期，他们还有几首歌曲把摇滚乐典型的电子音响与乡村音乐相结合，对后来70年代流行的乡村摇滚（Country Rock）起到了示范和引路的作用。1968年，原来的飞鸟乐队成员只剩下麦吉恩一人。他与其他不同演奏者合作，继续以飞鸟乐队名义发行唱片，但都没超过1965-1968年期间所取得的成绩。1973年，原来的5名成员重新聚集到一起，录制了他们的最后一张专辑《飞鸟乐队》，不久，乐队宣告解散。

Mr.Tambourine Man
The Byrds

Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me,
I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to.
Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me,
In the jingle jangle morning I'll come followin' you.

Take me on a trip upon your magic swirlin' ship,
My senses have been stripped, my hands can't feel to grip,
My toes too numb to step, wait only for my boot heels
To be wanderin'.
I'm ready to go anywhere, I'm ready for to fade
Into my own parade, cast your dancing spell my way,
I promise to go under it.

Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me,
I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to.
Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me,
In the jingle jangle morning I'll come followin' you.

Though you might hear laughin', spinnin', swingin' madly across the sun,
It's not aimed at anyone, it's just escapin' on the run
And but for the sky there are no fences facin'.
And if you hear vague traces of skippin' reels of rhyme
To your tambourine in time, it's just a ragged clown behind,
I wouldn't pay it any mind, it's just a shadow you're
Seein' that he's chasing.

Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me,
I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to.
Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me,
In the jingle jangle morning I'll come followin' you.

Then take me disappearin' through the smoke rings of my mind,
Down the foggy ruins of time, far past the frozen leaves,
The haunted, frightened trees, out to the windy beach,
Far from the twisted reach of crazy sorrow.
Yes, to dance beneath the diamond sky with one hand waving free,
Silhouetted by the sea, circled by the circus sands,
With all memory and fate driven deep beneath the waves,
Let me forget about today until tomorrow.

Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me,
I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to.
Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me,
In the jingle jangle morning I'll come followin' you.
