Eleanor Rigby.........Written and sung by the Beatles

Ah, look at all the lonely people
Ah, look at all the lonely people

Eleanor Rigby picks up the rice in the church where a wedding has been
Lives in a dream
Waits at the window, wearing the face that she keeps in a jar by the door
Who is it for?

All the lonely people
Where do they all come from ?
All the lonely people
Where do they all belong ?

Father Mckenzie writing the words of a sermon that no one will hear
No one comes near.
Look at him working. darning his socks in the night when there's nobody there
What does he care?

All the lonely people
Where do they all come from?
All the lonely people
Where do they all belong?

Eleanor Rigby died in the church and was buried along with her name
Nobody came
Father Mckenzie wiping the dirt from his hands as he walks from the grave
No one was saved

All the lonely people
Where do they all come from?
All the lonely people
Where do they all belong?

这首歌里的女孩子Eleanor的来龙去脉, 要写很多行字也未必说得清楚, 不如大家就简单地视它为有关寂寞和死亡的歌曲欣赏吧. 其实它是Beatles的最动听最有名的歌曲之一. 在这首歌里Beatles的成员完全没有参与(吉他)乐器的伴奏, 它是主要用管弦乐伴奏, 可说根本不是一首一般的流行歌曲.
