第一次聽到wayfaring stranger是訪問齊豫的時候,收錄在over the cloud專輯;一向很喜歡齊豫的英文專輯選曲功力,都會挑一些大眾不熟悉的歌曲重新賦予生命,每首歌聽起來都好像齊豫變成了原唱。後來,去聽Johnny Cash、Rd Sheeran翻唱,就都少了那種空靈的感覺。製作人「陳忠義」認為他的聲線比較扁,偏向音樂劇的特質,所以編曲也結合了音樂劇的調性,不少聽過的朋友,還以為是悲慘世界的歌,倒是一個意外的美麗。

The Wayfaring Stranger
詞曲:Traditional
OP: Public Domain


I'm just a poor wayfaring stranger
Traveling through this world below
Yet there’s no sickness, toil, or danger
In that bright land to which I go

I'm going there to see my Father
I'm going there no more to roam
I'm just going over Jordan
I'm just going over home

I know dark clouds will hang round me
I know my way is rough and steep
It’s beauty fields lie just before me
Where God's redeemed vigil keep
I'm going there to see my Mother
She said she'd meet me when I come
I'm just going over Jordan
I'm just going over home
