最初对这首歌感兴趣，是因为它的名字，《阳光下的四季》，多么温暖的名字，当时就想这一定是一首很温馨的歌。谁想音乐响起，却是哀伤凄婉，空灵遥远的风笛。悠扬的音乐中年轻的男声却吟唱着历经沧桑的歌词。心当即被震撼，随之沉醉于无边的哀伤之中。
一个将死之人，用他最后的时间最后的话语向这个他仍无比眷恋的世界作最后的告别：再见了，朋友；再见了，爸爸；再见了，爱人……不是期待再次相见，而是永不能再见！生命是如此的珍贵，回忆是那么的美好。那些肆意挥洒青春的日子一去不返，那些叛逆张狂的日子徒留悔恨，那些浓情蜜意的日子永不再有。温暖的阳光下，四季更替如常，而他却再也没有季后去享受下一轮四季的更替，再也没有机会去拥抱温暖的阳光，只能无奈地叹息：it's hard to die。
心痛得无以复加，泪无声地流下。We had joy, we had fun, we had seasons in the sun.副歌不断反复，犹如阳光下四季永恒的轮回。于是因为这首无比哀伤的歌，喜欢上了Westlife这个由四个阳光大男孩组成的组合。



Seasons In The Sun


Terry Jacks

Goodbye to you, my trusted friend.
We've known each other since we're nine or ten.
Together we climbed hills or trees.
Learned of love and ABC's,
skinned our hearts and skinned our knees.

Goodbye my friend, it's hard to die,
when all the birds are singing in the sky,
Now that the spring is in the air.
Pretty girls are everywhere.
When you see them I'll be there.

We had joy, we had fun, we had seasons in the sun.
But the hills that we climbed
were just seasons out of time.

Goodbye, Papa, please pray for me,
I was the black sheep of the family.
You tried to teach me right from wrong.
Too much wine and too much song,
wonder how I get along.

Goodbye, Papa, it's hard to die
when all the birds are singing in the sky,
Now that the spring is in the air.
Little children everywhere.
When you see them I'll be there.

We had joy, we had fun, we had seasons in the sun.
But the wine and the song,
like the seasons, all have gone.

Goodbye, Michelle, my little one.
You gave me love and helped me find the sun.
And every time that I was down
you would always come around
and get my feet back on the ground.

Goodbye, Michelle, it's hard to die
when all the bird are singing in the sky,
Now that the spring is in the air.
With the flowers ev'rywhere.
I whish that we could both be there.

We had joy, we had fun, we had seasons in the sun.
But the stars we could reach
were just starfishs on the beach
