John Denver - Take Me Home, Country Roads

 Shenandoah National Park 

 

 Shenandoah National Park /ˈʃɛnənˌdoʊə/ (often /ˈʃænənˌdoʊə/) is a national park in the Eastern United States that encompasses part of the Blue Ridge Mountains in the Commonwealth of Virginia. The park is long and narrow, with the Shenandoah River and its broad valley to the west, and the rolling hills of the Virginia Piedmont to the east. Skyline Drive is the main park road, generally traversing along the ridgeline of the mountains. Almost 40% of the park's land—79,579 acres (124 sq mi; 322 km2)—has been designated as wilderness areas and is protected as part of the National Wilderness Preservation System. The highest peak is Hawksbill Mountain at 4,051 feet (1,235 m).

The Shenandoah River /ˌʃɛnənˈdoʊə/ is the principal tributary of the Potomac River, 55.6 miles (89.5 km) long with two forks approximately 100 miles (160 km) long each, in the U.S. states of Virginia and West Virginia. The river and its tributaries drain the central and lower Shenandoah Valley and the Page Valley in the Appalachians on the west side of the Blue Ridge Mountains, in northwestern Virginia and the Eastern Panhandle of West Virginia. There is a hydroelectric plant along the Shenandoah river constructed in 2014 by Dominion.

Lyrics: John Denver - Take Me Home, Country Roads

 

[Verse 1]

Almost Heaven, West Virginia

Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah River

Life is old there, older than the trees

Younger than the mountains, growing like a breeze

[Chorus]

Country roads, take me home

To the place I belong

West Virginia, mountain mama

Take me home, country roads

 

[Verse 2]

All my memories gather 'round her

Miner's lady, stranger to blue water

Dark and dusty, painted on the sky

Misty taste of moonshine, teardrop in my eye

[Chorus]

Country roads, take me home

To the place I belong

West Virginia, mountain mama

Take me home, country roads

 

[Bridge]

I hear her voice in the morning hour, she calls me

The radio reminds me of my home far away

Driving down the road, I get a feeling

That I should have been home yesterday, yesterday

[Chorus]

Country roads, take me home

To the place I belong

West Virginia, mountain mama

Take me home, country roads

Country roads, take me home

To the place I belong

West Virginia, mountain mama

Take me home, country roads

 

[Outro]

Take me home, (Down) country roads

Take me home, (Down) country roads

 Take Me Home, Country Roads (John Denver)

내 고향으로 날 데려다주오

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=95s8B-gxmn8

 

 

Almost heaven west Virginia

Blue Ridge Mountains，Shenandoah river

Life is old there，older than the trees

Younger than the mountains，growin’ like a breeze.

웨스트 버지니아의 푸른 산맥과

셰넌도어강은 천국에 가까운 곳

그곳에서 삶은 나무들보다 더욱 오래되고

산들바람처럼 자라고 산보다 더 젊음이 넘친다네…

 

Country roads，take me home to the placeI belong

West Virginia，mountain mama

Take me home，Country roads。

고향으로 향한 나의 길이여，그곳으로 날 데려다 주오

내가 속한 곳 웨스트 버지니아，산은 내 어머니

나를 고향으로 데려다 주오.

 

All my memories gather around her

Miner’s lady，stranger to blue water

Dark and dusty，painted on the sky

Misty taste of moonshine，teardrop in my eyes.

그녀에게 얽힌 나의 모든 추억들

푸른 물에 낯선 광부의 여인 내가 속한 곳

어둠과 먼지，그리고 채색된 하늘 달빛의 희미한 안개，내 눈물…

 

Country roads，take me home to the place I belong

West Virginia，mountain mama

Take me home，Country roads.

고향으로 향한 나의 길이여，그곳으로 날 데려다 주오 내가 속한 곳

웨스트 버지니아，산은 내 어머니

나를 고향으로 데려다 주오

 

I hear her voice in the morning hours she calls me

The radio reminds me of my home far away

And driving down the road I get a feeling

That I should have been home yesterday yesterday.

이른 아침，그녀가 날 부르는 소리가 들리네

라디오는 멀리 떨어져 있는 나의 고향을 노래하고

바로 어제 고향에 다녀온 듯 길을 따라 운전을 하고 있다네…

 

Country roads，take me home to the place I belong

West Virginia，mountain mama

Take me home，Country roads.

고향으로 향한 나의 길이여，그곳으로 날 데려다 주오 내가 속한 곳

웨스트 버지니아，산은 내 어머니

나를 고향으로 데려다 주오

 

Take me home，Country roads

나를 고향으로 데려다 주오

Take me home，Country roads

나를 고향으로 데려다 주오
