电影《费城故事》的结尾：清晨，空旷孤寂的费城大街上，主人公蹒跚而行，满脸的疲惫，双眼充满着无助和绝望。此时音乐响起，便是这首“Streets Of Philadelphia”（费城的街道）。这首歌曲由以前从不为电影跨刀的美国著名的摇滚诗人布鲁斯·斯普林斯廷（Bruce Springsteen）谱词作曲，并亲自演唱，并一举获得获得奥斯卡最佳歌曲奖。斯普林斯廷的歌曲内容虽然充满了忧虑甚至绝望，但他的性格中仍保留有许多执着的信念，这点在这首歌曲中表现得淋漓尽致。当我们聆听这首歌时，可以充分感受到对爱滋病患者的包容，亦或是为移民鸣不平，展现了一种直视美国灵魂深处的内省力。



Streets Of Philadelphia
by Bruce Springsteen

I was bruised and battered and I couldn't tell
What I felt
I was unrecognizable to myself
I saw my reflection in a window I didnt know
My own face
Oh brother are you gonna leave me
Wastin´away
On the streets of philadelphia

I walked the avenue till my legs felt like stone
I heard the voices of friends vanished and gone
At night I could hear the blood in my veins
Black and whispering as the rain
On the streets of philadelphia

Aint no angel gonna greet me
Its just you and I my friend
My clothes dont fit me no more
I walked a thousand miles
Just to slip the skin

The night has fallen, I'm lyin awake
I can feel myself fading away
So receive me brother with your faithless kiss
Or will we leave each other alone like this
On the streets of philadelphia
