Crossroads (Don McLean)

Lại tiếp tục gặp một bài hát rất hay khác nữa - Crossroads của Don McLean trong album American Pie (album rất nổi tiếng trong làng nhạc Rock and Roll với bài hát chủ đề cùng tên. Madonna có một phiên bản khác của bài hát cũng khá hay). Khác với mấy lần trước, bài này tớ đã từng nghe nhiều lần và rất thích giai điệu khá đặc biệt của nó, nhưng hôm nay mới thử nghe kỹ từng lời nhạc của nó. Nói thật rằng nội dung bài hát “giải đáp” cho tớ rất nhiều những suy nghĩ gần đây về mình:

I’ve got nothing on my mind: nothing to remember,

Nothing to forget. and I’ve got nothing to regret,

But I’m all tied up on the inside,

No one knows quite what I’ve got;

And I know that on the outside

What I used to be, I’m not anymore.

…there’s no need for turning back

`cause all roads lead to where I stand.

And I believe I’ll walk them all

No matter what I may have planned.

Crossroads

Ca sĩ: Don McLean

Album: American Pie

I’ve got nothing on my mind: nothing to remember,

Nothing to forget. and I’ve got nothing to regret,

But I’m all tied up on the inside,

No one knows quite what I’ve got;

And I know that on the outside

What I used to be, I’m not anymore.

You know I’ve heard about people like me,

But I never made the connection.

They walk one road to set them free

And find they’ve gone the wrong direction.

But there’s no need for turning back

`cause all roads lead to where I stand.

And I believe I’ll walk them all

No matter what I may have planned.

Can you remember who I was? can you still feel it?

Can you find my pain? can you heal it?

Then lay your hands upon me now

And cast this darkness from my soul.

You alone can light my way.

You alone can make me whole once again.

We’ve walked both sides of every street

Through all kinds of windy weather.

But that was never our defeat

As long as we could walk together.

So there’s no need for turning back

`cause all roads lead to where we stand.

And I believe we’ll walk them all

No matter what we may have planned.
