《GeorgiaOnMyMind》中文译为《乔治亚州驻我心》(《我心中的乔治亚》)。原版作曲为HoagyCarmichael,StuartGorrell填词。首次录制是在1930年9月15日的纽约,后被无数歌手和音乐人翻唱及再制作,成为经典。
其中最广为人知的版本出自美国黑人歌手,灵魂歌王,雷·查尔斯·鲁滨逊(RayCharles)。RayCharles本人生于乔治亚州,因为反对乔治亚州的种族隔离制度,RayCharles有一段时间被禁止在乔治亚州演出。
后来随着美国种族歧视状况的改善,RayCharles得到平反。这首歌于1960年收录于Ray的专辑“TheGeniusHitstheRoad”;也于1979年被选为乔治亚州的州歌。
Georgia, Georgia
The whole day through
Just an old sweet song
Keeps Georgia on my mind
Georgia, Georgia
A song of you
Comes as sweet and clear
As moonlight through the pines
Other arms reach out to me
Other eyes smile tenderly
Still in the peaceful dreams I see
The road leads back to you
I said Georgia, oh Georgia,
No peace I find
Just an old sweet song
Keeps Georgia on my mind
Other arms reach out to me
Other eyes smile tenderly
Still in peaceful dreams I see
The road leads back to you
Oh Georgia, Georgia
No peace, no peace I find
Just an old sweet song
Keeps Georgia on my mind
I said just an old sweet song
Keeeps Georgia on my mind
