這是一個 ----- 美式「校園民歌」年代,當時成員有Bob Flick、Michael Kirkland、John Paine與Dick Foley等四位大學生,每個人擁有一副優美嗓子和聲外,也有著迷倒粉絲們的俊俏的外表,使得他們受到樂迷的喜愛。
當時的台灣許多大學生也是經常一把吉他,大家一起哼唱著「離家500哩(500 Miles)」、「Where Have All The Flowers Gone」、「Four Strong Winds」、「Try To Remember」、「Seven Daffodils」.....
由於在下最近一有空閒,就把舊的錄音帶數位化,第一張數位化的錄音帶就是這一張The Brothers Four專輯了,沒想到完成後竟發現市場上有得買CD,然而也不是全無所獲,至少回憶當年黑膠唱片和真空管時代的美聲,在下這次要介紹的是這首感人肺腑的「Seven Daffodils(七朵水仙花)」,這是一首很優美的英文歌,標準求婚情歌, “ 雖然我窮.....但我很體貼浪漫又溫柔呦!!!“
想當年,在下我也如法泡製,把老婆追到手的哩!

Seven Daffodils《七朵水仙花》-------- Brother Four
I may not have a mansion.
或許我沒能有城堡豪宅
I haven’t any land.
也沒有任何地產
Not even a paper dollar to crinkle in my hand.
甚至沒有一張可以曲捲握在手中的美金大鈔
But I can show you mornings on a thousand hills.
但我可以帶妳到群山之顛去欣賞清晨美景
And kiss you and give you seven daffodils.
親吻著妳並送給妳七朵水仙花
I do not have a fortune to buy you pretty things.
我沒能有好機運來為妳添購美麗的妝扮
But I can weave you moonbeams for necklaces and rings.
但我可以在月光下為妳編織項鍊和戒指
And I can show you mornings on a thousand hills.
可以帶妳到群山之顛去欣賞清晨美景
And kiss you and give you seven daffodils.
親吻著妳並送給妳七朵水仙花
Seven golden daffodils are shining in the sun
七朵金黃色的水仙花在陽光下璀璨閃耀
To light our way to evening when our day is done.
在日落西山後,照亮著我們的歸途
And I will give you music and a crust of bread.
我會為妳奏起音樂並帶給妳一片麵包
A pillow of piny boughs to rest your head.
以松枝作枕,讓妳好好休息
