“亡命之徒”是美國(guó)搖滾樂隊(duì)老鷹演唱的歌曲。它是由Glenn Frey和Don Henley創(chuàng)作的，出現(xiàn)在1973年發(fā)行的同名專輯中，還在其他眾多的合集中大量出現(xiàn)。盡管歌曲從沒有作為單曲發(fā)行過，它卻是樂隊(duì)最有名的歌曲之一，在滾石于2004年發(fā)布的“有史以來最偉大的500首歌曲”中她排在了494名。
Accordingto Henley, Desperado was based on a song he started in 1968, written in thestyle of old songs by Stephen Foster.The song was originally about afriend named Leo and began with "Leo, my God, why don’t you come to yoursenses..."In 1972, after they had recorded their first album Eagles inLondon, Glenn Frey and Henley decided that they should write songstogether. In their first songwriting session after returning from London,Henley played Frey the unfinished version of the song, and said: "When Iplay it and sing it, I think of Ray Charles and Stephen Foster. It’sreally a Southern Gothic thing, but we can easily make it moreWestern." According to Henley, Frey "leapt right on it – filledin the blanks and brought structure", and the song became "Desperado".Henley added: "And that was the beginning of our songwriting partnership... that’s when we became a team."
根據(jù)Henley的回憶，亡命之徒來自于他于1968年開始創(chuàng)作的一首歌。風(fēng)格是Stephen Foster的老歌。歌曲原來是寫一個(gè)叫Leo的朋友，開頭是“Leo，上帝啊，你為何還不清醒過來。。?！?972年，當(dāng)他們?cè)趥惗劁浿仆晁麄兊牡谝粡垖］嫛袄销棥敝蟆?nbsp;GlennFrey和Henley決定他們要一起創(chuàng)作歌曲。從倫敦回來后的第一次合作時(shí)，Henley為Frey演唱了他那首未完成的歌曲，并說：“當(dāng)我彈琴并演唱時(shí)，我想的就是Ray Charles和Stephen Foster，這完全是南方哥特式的感覺，但我們可以很輕松地把它改造成西部的風(fēng)格?！睋?jù)henley說，F(xiàn)rey“立刻投入其中，完成了創(chuàng)作并搭好了結(jié)構(gòu)?！备枨哺某闪恕巴雒健?。Henley又說道：“那就是我們合作寫歌的開始，從那時(shí)我們組隊(duì)了?！?/span>
"Desperado"is one of the Eagles' most famous songs, and it was ranked No. 494 onthe Rolling Stone's list of "The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time"in 2004.

“亡命之徒”是老鷹樂隊(duì)最有名的歌曲之一，在滾石于2004年發(fā)布的“有史以來最偉大的500首歌曲”中它排在了494名。在滾石組織的一次老鷹樂隊(duì)歌曲評(píng)選中，它名列老鷹樂隊(duì)歌曲的第二名。2000年這首歌還被MOJO雜志收錄在他們的最偉大歌曲的名單之中，入圍的還有創(chuàng)作者提名的歌曲，這些人包括PaulMcCartney和 Hal David 和 Brian Wilson。美國(guó)西部作家協(xié)會(huì)的成員還把這首歌列入他們?cè)u(píng)選的有史以來最佳100首西部歌曲之中。
WilliamRuhlmann of AllMusic considered it one of Eagles' major compositions. Paul Gambaccini of Rolling Stone felt it was Henley'srough voice that made the song memorable. Although the song is one of theEagles' best-known songs, their recording never charted on Billboard untilthe death of Glenn Frey, when it reached No. 20 on the Rock Digital Songschart.
來自音樂指南（allmusic）的William Ruhlmann認(rèn)為這首歌是老鷹樂隊(duì)的主要作品。而滾石的Paul Gambaccini覺得是Henley沙啞的嗓音使這首歌難忘。但盡管這是老鷹樂隊(duì)最出名的歌曲，在Glenn Frey去世之前它卻始終沒有進(jìn)入過Billboard排行榜的榜單中，當(dāng)時(shí)它名列搖滾數(shù)碼歌曲榜的第20位。
Desperado- 老鷹, The Eagles（Lyrics）
Desperado, whydon't you come to your senses
You been out ridin'fences for so long now
Oh, you're a hardone
I know that yougot your reasons
These things thatare pleasin' you
Can hurt yousomehow
Don't you draw theQueen of Diamonds, boy
She'll beat you ifshe's able
You know the Queenof Hearts is always your best bet
Now, it seems tome some fine things
Have been laidupon your table,
But you only wantthe ones that you can't get
Desperado, oh, youain't gettin' no younger
Your pain and yourhunger, they're drivin' you home
And freedom, ohfreedom, well that's just some people talkin'
Your prison iswalking through this world all alone
Don't your feetget cold in the winter time?
The sky won't snowand the sun won't shine
It's hard to tellthe night time from the day
You're losin' allyour highs and lows;
Ain't it funny howthe feeling goes away?
Desperado, whydon't you come to your senses?
Come down fromyour fences; open the gate
It may be rainin',but there's a rainbow above you
You better let somebodylove you, before it's too late
Writer(s):Richard Lynn Carpenter, John Bettis
