# The Animals - The House of the Rising Sun



这首作者不详的Blues作品“House of the Rising Sun”描述了新奥尔良土地上的罪恶、性乱及受折磨的灵魂，包括Bob Dylan和Dolly Parton在内的很多歌手都曾进行过翻唱。对于歌名“日升之屋”的真实含义有很多种说法，妓院、监狱、奴隶种植园、法国区的一座设施等等不一而足。歌曲最著名的版本是由“英伦入侵”时期的乐队The Animals演唱的，他们认为这首歌是一首被移民传入美国的英国老民谣（歌词中的New Orleans最初为Soho妓院）。多亏了Eric Burdon的嚎叫式唱法，乐队的改编才能成为一首独具特色的经典，并且排上了《滚石》杂志“史上最伟大的500首歌”的第122位。

# The Animals - The House of the Rising Sun 歌词

There is a house in New Orleans
They call the Rising Sun
And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy
And God, I know I'm one

My mother was a tailor
Sewed my new blue jeans
My father was a gamblin' man
Down in New Orleans

Now the only thing a gambler needs
Is a suitcase and trunk
And the only time he's satisfied
Is when he's on a drunk

Oh, mother, tell your children
Not to do what I have done
Spend your lives in sin and misery
In the house of the rising sun

Well, I got one foot on the platform
The other foot on the train
I'm goin' back to New Orleans
To wear that ball and chain

Well, there is a house in New Orleans
They call the Rising Sun
And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy
And God, I know I'm one
