우리 노래나 Country Song 이나 엔카, 중국 노래 할것 없이 좋은 곡은 공통의 먼가가 있는 듯 합니다.
제가 좋아하는 Old Country Song 입니다. 이 노래는 1952년 발표되었는데, 여가수인 Wells 가 빌보드 컨츄리 차트 최초의 여자가수 1위를 차지하게 한 노래라고 하네요. 뒤를 이어 Loretta Lynn 이나 Tammy Wynette 같은 훌륭한 후배 여가수의 귀감이 되었다네요.
노래 내용은 아직 총각이라 생각하는 결혼한 남자들이 순진한 처녀들을 망친다... 어쩌구 저쩌구 하는 내용인데, 들어 보면 엔카와 리듬이 비슷하게도 들리는 군요.
여러분들도 한번 감상해 보세요.
It Wasn't God Who Made Honky Tonk Angels - Kitty Wells
It Wasn't God Who Made Honky-Tonk Angels - Kitty Wells.mp3
As I sit here tonight the jukebox playin'
The tune about the wild side of life
As I listen to the words you are sayin'
It brings memories when I was a trusting wife
It wasn't God who made Honky Tonk angels
As you said in the words of your song
Too many times married men think they're still single
That has caused many a good girl to go wrong
It's a shame that all the blame is on us women
It's not true that only you men feel the same
From the start most every heart that's ever broken
Was because there always was a man to blame
It wasn't God who made Honky Tonk angels
As you said in the words of your song
Too many times married men think they're still single
That has caused many a good girl to go wrong
