the traveller

chris de burgh şarkısıdır.

muhtesem guzel bi şarkıdır.Yolda giderken dinlemek farklı bi tad verir.Hele uzun yola gidiliyorsa dağlı taşlı yerlerden geciliniyorsa tadından yenmez.

there is something in his eyes, something in his hands,
you can almost smell his revenge

sözlerinin çok beğendiğim, melodisine nerdeyse taptığım bir chris de burg parçası. evet! resmen parçası...

şarkının sözleri eksik kalmasın efem;

in from the coast, riding like the wind and racing the moon,
shadows on the road, dancing and a-weaving like a crazy fool.
a horseman is coming, death in his heart, for a rendez-vous,
and where the traveller goes, nobody knows,
where the traveller goes, nobody knows....

a candle in the night, fear on every face when he goes inside
(maybe he's on the run?)
get back from the bar! a stranger in town is a dangerous sight
(maybe he's got a gun?)
"bring a bottle of whisky, ladlord, i wanna talk for a while."
and where the traveller goes, a cold wind blows,
oh, where the traveller goes, a cold wind blows....

there is something in his eyes, something in his hands,
you can almost smell his revenge!
and whoever he is after, it will be disaster:
this man is gonna take him to the very end....

well, the landlord he trembled, staring at a face he'd seen somewhere before.
(you laid him in the ground)
suddenly remembers a killing, yes, a murder, many years before.
('twas you that shot him down)
he said to a boy: "saddle me the black, i'll meet you down below.
with this man i must talk, yes with this traveller i'll go,
with this man i must talk, yes with him i must go."

there is something in his eyes, something in his hands,
i can almost smell his revenge!
and it's me that he's after, it will be disaster:
this man is gonna take me to the very end....

and they were never seen again!

kanımca tüm zamanların en iyi 100 şarkısından birisidir.

kalpten kalbe yolculuğu çağrıştıran şarkıdır bana. ara ara hatırlatır kendini çok iyi gelir yorgun kalbime.

bağıra bağıra söylenmesi gereken şarkı.

chris de burgh un bile klasikleşmesine şaşırdığı besteciliğinin zirvesidir.
tek kanallı trt dönemlerinde bir reklamda da çalıyordu ama hangisi anımsayamadım..
