AN AMERICAN TRILOGY《 美國三部曲 》3/3 - Elvis Presley


 
AN AMERICAN TRILOGY《 美國三部曲 》 
The Greatest Cover Song 
Elvis Presley 演繹這一曲的起因, 是由於妻子 Priscilla 在 Los Angeles 洛杉磯 Sunset Boulevard 日落大道駕車途中, 從車上的收音機聽到電台正在播放 Mickey Newbury 的一曲 "An American Trilogy", 她心想這歌曲由丈夫演繹是最好不過, 她馬上掉頭回家, 說服了 Elvis 把歌曲錄製成唱片。

1972年四月唱片面世之後, 在每次 Elvis 的演唱會, 他把這首作品演繹得淋漓盡致, 令現場氣紛高昂, 大受樂迷歡迎, 自此成為他的演唱會標誌歌曲之一, 至2020年, 有記錄的翻唱版本七十多個; 在網上的音樂視訊平台查看這一曲 "An American Trilogy" - LIVE 的話, 除了 Elvis Presley 混身解數的版本之外, 似乎難有他選, 之後在美國本土的文娛活動或集會, 成為一首充滿凝聚力和激勵士氣的壓場歌曲之一。 

Single: "An American Trilogy" Elvis Presley 1972
U.K. Single Chart - 11
US Billboard Hot 100 - 8
US Billboard Easy Listening Chart - 31

Elvis Presley - An American Trilogy (Aloha From Hawaii, Live in Honolulu, 1973)
1859 "DIXIE" Lyrics
Oh, I wish I was in the land of cotton
Old things they are not forgotten
Look away, look away, look away Dixieland
Oh, I wish I was in Dixie, away, away

In Dixieland I take my stand to live and die in Dixie
'Cause Dixieland, that's where I was born
Early Lord one frosty morning
Look away, look away, look away Dixieland
 
1861 "The Battle Hymn of the Republic" Lyrics
Glory, glory hallelujah
Glory, glory hallelujah
Glory, glory hallelujah
His truth is marching on
 
1957 "All My Trials" Lyrics
So hush little baby
Don't you cry
You know your daddy's bound to die
But all my trials, Lord, will soon be over
 
1861 "The Battle Hymn of the Republic" Lyrics
Glory, glory hallelujah
His truth is marching on
His truth is marching on

An American Trilogy - written by Gilles Péram, Jacqueline Néro 

1973 - Bruno Victoire Polius - Les Poppys
Il était à la guerre, celle du Sud et du Nord
C'était ton père et j'apprends qu'il est mort
Ne pleure pas, ne pleure pas, il faut que tu sois fort
 
Il était né dans le Dixie
Là-bas, là-bas
Il est tombé dans la prairie
Tué d'un coup de fusil
 
Ô Dixieland, cette vieille terre
Des hommes chantent pour lui des prières
Ne pleure pas, ne pleure pas
C'est comme ça, c'est la guerre
 
3 Repeats
Glory, glory alléluia
Son âme ira au ciel
 
Doucement, petit homme, couche-toi
Le rouge des flammes meurt tout bas
Quelqu'un, pour tromper la mort, joue pour les solda
