[00:10.29] Now lets hear the story of Bo Diddley
[00:13.32] And the Rock n Roll scene in general
[00:17.55] Bo Diddley was born Ellis McDaniels
[00:21.54] In a place called McCoom, Missississipi about 1926
[00:23.55] He moved to Chicago about 1938
[00:32.58] Where his name was eventually changed to Bo Diddley
[00:37.77] He practiced the guitar everyday and sometimes into the night
[00:45.06] Till his papa's hair began to turn white
[00:47.97] His Pa said "Son, listen hear, I know
[00:53.73] You can stay but that guitar has just gotta go"
[00:59.16] So he pulled his hat down over his eyes
[01:02.91] Headed out for them Western Skies
[01:05.01] I think Bob Dylan said that, he hit New York City
[01:10.68] He began to play at the Apollo in Harlem
[01:13.32] Good scene there, everybody raving
[01:17.67] One day, one night, came a Cadillac with four head lights
[01:26.88] Came a man with a big, long, fat, cigar said,
[01:29.31] "C'mere son, I'm gonna make you a star"
[01:32.82] Bo Diddley said, "Uh..whats in it for me?"
[01:37.41] Man said, "Shut your mouth son,
[01:39.30] Play the guitar and you just wait and see"
[01:42.45] Well, that boy made it, he made it real big
[01:47.22] And so did the rest of the rock n roll scene along with him
[01:51.42] And a white guy named Johnny Otis took Bo Diddleys rhythm
[01:55.44] He changed it into hand-jive and it went like this
[02:02.55] In a little old country town one day
[02:06.45] A little old country band began to play
[02:10.41] Add two guirtars and a beat up saxophone
[02:13.92] When the drummer said, boy, those cats begin to roam
[02:17.82] Oh baby oh we oh oh
[02:24.36] Ooh la la that rock and roll
[02:25.68] Ya hear me oh we oh oh
[02:28.26] Ooh la la that rock and roll
[02:35.10] Then in the U.S. music scene there was big changes made
[02:39.30] Due to circumstances beyond our control such as payola
[02:45.48] The rock n roll scene died after two years of solid rock
[02:50.04] And you got discs like, ah...
[02:53.91] Take good care of my baby
[02:57.93] Please don't ever make her blue and so forth
[03:01.71] About, ah, one year later in a place called Liverpool in England
[03:09.75] Four young guys with mop haircuts began to sing stuff like, ah...
[03:17.01] It's been a hard days night and I've been working like a dog and so on
[03:26.91] In a place called Richmond in Surrey, whay down in the deep south
[03:32.43] They got guys with long hair down their back singing
[03:35.70] I wanna be your lover baby I wanna be your man yeah and all that jazz
[03:41.79] Now we've doing this number, Bo Diddley, for quite some time now
[03:47.79] Bo Diddley visited this country last year
[03:52.65] We were playing at the Club A Gogo in Newcastle, our home town
[03:58.62] The doors opened one night and to our surprise
[04:02.52] Walked in the man himself, Bo Diddley
[04:06.33] Along with him was Jerome Green, his maraca man,
[04:10.47] And the Duchess, his gorgeous sister
[04:14.79] And a we were doing this number
[04:18.27] Along with them came the Rolling Stones, the Mersey Beats,
[04:23.01] They're all standing around diggin' it
[04:25.29] And I overheard Bo Diddley talkin'
[04:28.11] He turned around to Jermone Green
[04:29.19] And he said, "Hey, Jerome? What do you think these guys
[04:34.26] Doin' our..our material?"
[04:37.77] Jerome said, "Uh, where's the bar, man? Please show me to the bar..."
[04:43.92] He turned around the Duchess
[04:44.82] And he said, "Hey Duchess...what do you think of these young guys
[04:48.24] Doin' our material?"
[04:49.80] She said, "I don't know. I only came across here
[04:53.52] To see the changin' of the guards and all that jazz."
[04:56.79] Well, Bo Diddley looked up and said to me,
[04:59.61] With half closed eyes and a smile,
[05:03.42] He said "Man," took off his glasses,
[05:07.44] He said, "Man, that sure is the biggest load of rubbish
[05:13.26] I ever heard in my life..."
[05:17.85] Hey Bo Diddley
[05:28.95] Oh Bo Diddley
[05:31.50] Yeah Bo Diddley
[05:33.45] Oh Bo Diddley
[05:35.49] Yeah Bo Diddley
[05:37.63] 人声 : Eric Burdon
歌词翻译
[00:10.29] 现在来听听波·迪德利的故事
[00:13.32] 以及摇滚乐坛的往事
[00:17.55] 波·迪德利本名埃利斯·麦克丹尼尔斯
[00:21.54] 1926年生于密西西比州麦库姆镇
[00:23.55] 1938年他迁往芝加哥
[00:32.58] 在那里他最终改名为波·迪德利
[00:37.77] 他每天练习吉他 有时直至深夜
[00:45.06] 直到他父亲的头发开始变白
[00:47.97] 老爹说"孩子听好了 你可以留下
[00:53.73] 但那把吉他必须扔掉"
[00:59.16] 于是他压低帽檐遮住双眼
[01:02.91] 朝着西部天空启程远行
[01:05.01] 我想鲍勃·迪伦说过 他来到纽约城
[01:10.68] 开始在哈林区阿波罗剧院演出
[01:13.32] 场面火爆 观众如痴如醉
[01:17.67] 某天夜里 一辆四头灯凯迪拉克驶来
[01:26.88] 有个叼着粗雪茄的男人说道
[01:29.31] "过来小子 我要让你成为明星"
[01:32.82] 波·迪德利问"呃...我能得到什么?"
[01:37.41] 那人说"闭嘴小子
[01:39.30] 弹好吉他 你等着瞧"
[01:42.45] 那小子成功了 大红大紫
[01:47.22] 整个摇滚乐坛也随之崛起
[01:51.42] 白人约翰尼·奥蒂斯借鉴他的节奏
[01:55.44] 改编成Hand-Jive 就像这样
[02:02.55] 某天在乡间小镇上
[02:06.45] 有支乡村乐队开始演奏
[02:10.41] 加上两把吉他和破旧萨克斯
[02:13.92] 鼓手说"小子 那些家伙开始摇摆"
[02:17.82] 哦宝贝 喔哦哦
[02:24.36] 呜啦啦 那摇滚乐
[02:25.68] 听我说 喔哦哦
[02:28.26] 呜啦啦 那摇滚乐
[02:35.10] 美国乐坛随后发生巨变
[02:39.30] 由于贿赂丑闻等不可控因素
[02:45.48] 摇滚风潮在鼎盛两年后消亡
[02:50.04] 于是你听到这样的唱片...
[02:53.91] 请好好照顾我的宝贝
[02:57.93] 别让她伤心难过 诸如此类
[03:01.71] 约一年后 在英国利物浦
[03:09.75] 四个蘑菇头青年开始唱起...
[03:17.01] 这是艰难的一天 我像狗一样工作 等等
[03:26.91] 在萨里郡的里士满 遥远的南方
[03:32.43] 长发披肩的小伙子们唱着
[03:35.70] 我想成为你的情人 你的男人 诸如此类
[03:41.79] 我们演奏波·迪德利这首歌已有段时日
[03:47.79] 去年波·迪德利造访英国
[03:52.65] 当时我们在家乡纽卡斯尔的高歌俱乐部演出
[03:58.62] 某晚大门敞开 令人惊喜的是
[04:02.52] 波·迪德利本人走了进来
[04:06.33] 随行的有他的沙锤手杰罗姆·格林
[04:10.47] 以及他美艳的妹妹"公爵夫人"
[04:14.79] 我们正在表演这首歌时
[04:18.27] 滚石乐队和默西之声也来了
[04:23.01] 他们都站着欣赏演出
[04:25.29] 我听见波·迪德利说道
[04:28.11] 他转身问杰罗姆·格林
[04:29.19] "嘿 杰罗姆?这些家伙
[04:34.26] 在翻唱我们的歌?"
[04:37.77] 杰罗姆说"呃 酒吧在哪?带我去酒吧..."
[04:43.92] 他又问公爵夫人
[04:44.82] "你觉得这些年轻人
[04:48.24] 翻唱我们的歌怎么样?"
[04:49.80] 她说"不知道 我来这儿
[04:53.52] 是为了看卫兵换岗仪式"
[04:56.79] 波·迪德利抬眼对我说
[04:59.61] 半闭着眼睛露出微笑
[05:03.42] 他摘下眼镜说道
[05:07.44] "老兄 这绝对是我这辈子
[05:13.26] 听过最烂的玩意儿..."
[05:17.85] 嘿 波·迪德利
[05:28.95] 哦 波·迪德利
[05:31.50] 耶 波·迪德利
[05:33.45] 哦 波·迪德利
[05:35.49] 耶 波·迪德利
