找個閒暇時刻,3
如這個陰雨綿綿的夜晚,
閉上眼睛靜靜聆聽一首歌,
聽不懂的地方,
睜開眼睛瞅瞅歌詞。
1. Casablanca---Bertie Higgins
Bertie Higgins(貝特·希金斯)說:「這首歌是我為當時的女朋友、現在的妻子寫的。我記得那是1982年,《北非諜影》(又名《卡薩布蘭卡》,與歌曲同名)是我們共同喜愛的電影,這部愛情片讓我們如痴如醉。結合這部電影給我的感覺,我為女朋友寫了《卡薩布蘭卡》,她非常感動,還答應了我的求婚,成了我的妻子。
歌曲《卡薩布蘭卡》之所以受人喜愛,是因為它唱出了許多無奈離別的人的心聲。它貼切地再現了影片的主題,以至於許多人都以為它是電影《卡薩布蘭卡》的主題曲。歌曲充滿著懷舊、追憶、思念的複雜的情緒,情感真摯,曲調優美。
I fell in love with you watching CasablancaHiding in the shadows from the spies
我們躲在聚光燈照不到的陰影裡
Moroccan moonlight in your eyes
你的眼裡映著摩洛哥的月光
Making magic at the movies in my old chevorlet
隨著電影在我那輛舊雪佛萊裡變著魔術
Oh A kiss is still a kiss in Casablanca
噢!卡薩布蘭卡的親吻依舊
But A kiss is not a kiss without your sigh
但沒有了你的嘆息,那吻已不成吻
Please come back to me in Casablanca
請回來卡薩布蘭卡找我吧
I love you more and more each day as time goes by
隨著時光流逝,我一天比一天更愛你
I guess there're many broken hearts in Casablanca
我猜,在卡薩布蘭卡有很多傷心人
You know I've never really been there
你知道我從未到過那裡
So I don't know
所以我不是很清楚
I guess our love story will never be seen on the big wide silver screen
我想我們的愛情故事永遠都不會被搬上銀幕
But it hurt just as bad when I had to watch you go
但當我不得不看著你離去,我也感受到那種傷痛
Oh A kiss is still a kiss in Casablanca
噢!卡薩布蘭卡的親吻依舊
But A kiss is not a kiss without your sigh
但沒有了你的嘆息,那吻已不成吻
Please come back to me in Casablanca
請回來卡薩布蘭卡找我
I love you more and more each day as time goes by
隨著時光流逝,我一天比一天更愛你
Oh A kiss is still a kiss in Casablanca
噢!卡薩布蘭卡的親吻依舊
But A kiss is not a kiss without your sigh
但沒有了你的嘆息,那吻已不成吻
Please come back to me in Casablanca
請回來卡薩布蘭卡找我吧
I love you more and more each day as time goes by
隨著時光流逝,我一天比一天更愛你
I love you more and more each day as time goes by
隨著時光流逝,我一天比一天更愛你
2. If I Fall In Love Again
舒緩的旋律,磁性且略帶傷感的聲音,我非常喜歡。
I fell in love with you watching Casablanca
Back row of the drive in show in the flickering light
Popcorn and cokes beneath the stars became champagne and caviar
Making love on a long hot summers night
I thought you fell in love with me watching Casablanca
Holding hands 'neath the paddle fans in Rick's Candle lit cafe
Hiding in the shadows from the spies
Moroccan moonlight in your eyes
Making magic at the movies in my old chevorlet
Oh A kiss is still a kiss in Casablanca
But A kiss is not a kiss without your sigh
Please come back to me in Casablanca
I love you more and more each day as time goes by
I guess there're many broken hearts in Casablanca
You know I've never really been there
So I don't know
I guess our love story will never be seen on the big wide silver screen
But it hurt just as bad when I had to watch you go
Oh A kiss is still a kiss in Casablanca
But A kiss is not a kiss without your sigh
Please come back to me in Casablanca
I love you more and more each day as time goes by
Oh A kiss is still a kiss in Casablanca
But A kiss is not a kiss without your sigh
Please come back to me in Casablanca
I love you more and more each day as time goes by
I love you more and more each day as time goes by
3. Right Here Waiting--- Richard Marx
歌曲先是現實中由電話引起的悲傷,到追憶過去的甜蜜與酸楚,再到對早日重逢的期盼。一切宛若初心,你是否也在等候心愛的人。
Oceans apart day after day
And I slowly go insane
I hear your voice on the line
But it doesn't stop the pain
If I see you next to never
How can we say forever
Wherever you go
Whatever you do
I will be right here
Waiting for you
Whatever it takes
Or how my heart breaks
I will be right here
Waiting for you
I took for granted all the times
That I thought would last somehow
I hear the laughter
I taste the tears
But I can't get near you now
Oh can't you see it baby
You've got me going crazy
Wherever you go
Whatever you do
I will be right here
Waiting for you
Whatever it takes
Or how my heart breaks
I will be right here
Waiting for you
I wonder how we can survive
This romance
But in the end if I'm with you
I'll take the chance
Oh can't you see it baby
You've got me going crazy
Wherever you go
Whatever you do
I will be right here
Waiting for you
Whatever it takes
Or how my heart breaks
I will be right here
Waiting for you
Waiting for you
4. Sailing--- Rod Stewart
悠揚純淨的古典前奏,溫潤的嗓音,樸實無華,但卻帶一縷久別的憂傷,帶一絲即將重逢的溫暖,帶一股自由飛翔的蒼茫。你是否也在人海中航行,希望這首歌可以給你追求愛情、自由的信念。
I am sailing i am sailing
Home again 'cross the sea
I am sailing stormy waters
To be near you to be free
I am flying i am flying
Like a bird 'cross the sky
I am flying passing high clouds
To be near you to be free
Can you hear me can you hear me
Thru' the dark night far away
I am dying forever crying
To be with you who can say
Can you hear me can you hear me
Thru' the dark night far away
I am dying forever crying
To be with you who can say
We are sailing we are sailing
Home again 'cross the sea
We are sailing stormy waters
To be near you to be free
Oh lord to be near you to be free
Oh lord to be near you to be free
Oh lord to be near you to be free
Oh lord
5. TearsIn Heaven--- Eric Clapton
這首《淚灑天堂》是克萊普頓用他已經被悲痛碾得粉碎的心為紀念他的兒子所作。
沙啞的嗓音,傷感的旋律,外加一顆疲憊的心,是呀,離去的人固然不在,可是這份思念他又是否明白。熟悉的一切唯獨少了你,熟悉的聲音如今只能到夢裡去尋覓,他一夜好像蒼老了許多,他一夜都在唱歌。空曠的房間他只聽到自己的琴聲,可是他不敢停,因為他無法忘了曾經。
Would you know my name
If I saw you in heaven
Would it be the same
If I saw you in heaven
I must be strong
And carry on
'Cause I know I don't belong
Here in heaven
Would you hold my hand
If I saw you in heaven
Would you help me stand
If I saw you in heaven
I'll find my way
Through night and day
'Cause I know I just can't stay
Here in heaven
Time can bring you down
Time can bend your knees
Time can break your heart
Have you begging please begging please
Beyond the door
There's peace I'm sure
And I know there'll be no more
Tears in heaven
Would you know my name
If I saw you in heaven
Would it be the same
If I saw you in heaven
I must be strong
And carry on
'Cause I know I don't belong
Here in heaven
'Cause I know I don't belong
Here in heaven
6. Imagine---John Lennon
Imagine there's no heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today
Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace
You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one
Imagine no possesions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world
You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope some day you'll join us
And the world will live as one
7. Woman In Love---Barbra Streisand
Life is a moment in space
When the dream is gone
It's a lonelier place
I kiss the morning goodbye
But down inside you know
We never know why
The road is narrow and long
When eyes meet eyes
And the feeling is strong
I turn away from the wall
I stumble and fall
But I give you it all
I am a woman in love
And I'd do anything
To get you into my world
And hold you within
It's a right I defend
Over and over again
What do I do
With you eternally mine
In love there is
No measure of time
They planned it all at the start
That you and I live
In each others heart
We may be oceans away
You feel my love
I hear what you say
No truth is ever a lie
I stumble and fall
But I give you it all
I am a woman in love
And I'd do anything
To get you into my world
And hold you within
It's a right I defend
Over and over again
What do I do
I am a woman in love
And I'm talkin' to you
You know how you feel
What a woman can do
It's a right I defend
Over and over again
I am a woman in love
And I'd do anything
To get you into my world
And hold you within
It's a right I defend
Over and over again
8. I' ve Never Been To Me--- Charlene
Hey lady you lady cursin' at your life
You're a discontented mother and a rich inventive wife
I've no doubt you dream about the things you'll never do
But I wish someone had a talked to me like I wanna talk to you
Ooh I've been to Georgia and California oh anywhere I could run
Took the hand of a preacherman and we made love in the sun
But I ran out of places and friendly faces because I had to be free
I've been to paradise but I've never been to me
Please lady please lady don't just walk away
'Cause I have this need to tell you why I'm all alone today
I can see so much of me still living in your eyes
Won't you share a part of a weary heart that has lived a million lies
Oh I've been to Nice and the isle of Greece
While i sipped champagne on a yacht
I moved like Harlow in Monte Carlo and showed 'em what I've got
I've been undressed by kings and I've seen some things
That a woman ain't s'posed to see
I ve been to paradise
But i ve never been to me
Spoken ]
Hay you know what paradise its a lie a fantasy we creata
Abtout people and places as we'd like them to be But you know what truth is
It's that little baby you're holding and it's that man you fought with
This morning
The same one you're going to make love with tonight
That's truth that's love
Sometimes I've been to cryin' for unborn children
That might have made me complete
But I I took the sweet life and never knew I'd be bitter from the sweet
I spent my life exploring the subtle whoring that cost too much to be free
Hey lady I've been to paradise but I've never been to me
I've been to paradise - never been to me
(I've been to Georgia and California and anywhere I could run)
I've been to paradise - never been to me
(I've been to Nice and the isle of Greece
While I sipped champagne on a yacht)
I've been to paradise - never been to me
(I've been to cryin' for unborn children )
9. You Are My Everything
Baby I can't let you go
I think about you all the time
Think about you all the nights
You and me we creepin' next to the sea
You brought the fresh champagne
And I'd light the fire
Sometimes I really ask myself
Do you really wanna lean on this man
Remember all the beautiful moments
We share
My darling please think twice
Baby I
I swear to god up in the sky
I'll be your shelter when you cry
Cause you are my everything
Baby I
I travelled around the seven seas
I'd climb any mountain high
And speak to you
Cause you are my everything
Oh I think I'm lost in the wind
Without you by my side
There is no one who can hold me
Together we would fight any storm
I could show you how
Just give me your hand now
I really wanna make you mine
(to make it feel alright)
Baby for all the time
I never let you feel down
Cause you surrender my heart
Baby I
I swear to god up in the sky
I'll be your shelter when you cry
Cause you are my everything
Baby I
I travelled around the seven seas
I'd climb any mountain high
And speak to you
Cause you are my everything
I'll be there whenever you call
I wash the teardrops from your skin
Cause in my dreams
I've made such a plan
For you and me
We built a castle
Where we could settle down my friend
Romantic melodies been played
By the wind
Baby I
I swear to god up in the sky
I'll be your shelter when you cry
Cause you are my everything
Baby I
I travelled around the seven seas
I'd climb any mountain high
And speak to you
Cause you are my everything
--rap--
I really wanna make you mine
Baby you're not for all the time
I never let you feel down
I want you to be around
I really wanna make you mine
Baby you're not for all the time
I never let you feel down
I really wanna make you mine
Baby you're not for all the time
I never let you feel down
I want you to be around
I really wanna make you mine
Baby you're not for all the time
I never let you feel down
10. Hotel California---Eagles
On a dark desert highway cool wind in my hair
Warm smell of colitas rising up through the air
Up ahead in the distance I saw a shimmering light
My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim
I had to stop for the night
There she stood in the doorway I heard the mission bell
And I was thinking to myself
This could be Heaven or this could be Hell
Then she lit up a candle and she showed me the way
There were voices down the corridor
I thought I heard them say
Welcome to the Hotel California
Such a lovely place
Such a lovely face
Plenty of room at the Hotel California
Any time of year
You can find it here
Her mind is Tiffany-twisted she got the Mercedes Bends
She got a lot of pretty pretty boys she calls friends
How they dance in the courtyard sweet summer sweat
Some dance to remember some dance to forget
So I called up the Captain
Please bring me my wine
He said
We haven't had that spirit here since 1969
And still those voices are calling from far away
Wake you up in the middle of the night
Just to hear them say
Welcome to the Hotel California
Such a lovely place
Such a lovely place
Such a lovely face
They living it up at the Hotel California
What a nice surprise what a nice surprise
Bring your alibis
Mirrors on the ceiling the pink champagne on ice
And she said
We are all just prisoners here of our own device
And in the master's chambers they gathered for the feast
They stab it with their steely knives but they just can't kill the beast
Last thing I remember I was running for the door
I had to find the passage back to the place I was before
Relax said the night man
We are programmed to receive
You can checkout any time you like but you can never leave
11. I Can*t Tell You Why---Eagles
Look at us baby up all night
Tearing our love apart
Aren't we the same two people who live
Through years in the dark
Ahh
Every time I try to walk away
Something makes me turn around and stay
And I can't tell you why
When we get crazy
It just ain't to right
(try to keep you head little girl)
Girl I get lonely too
You don't have to worry
Just hold on tight
(don't get caught in your little world)
'Cause I love you
Nothing's wrong as far as I can see
We make it harder than it has to be
And I can't tell you why
No baby I can't tell you why
I can't tell you why
Every time I try to walk away
Something makes me turn around and stay
And I can't tell you why
No no baby I can't tell you why
I can't tell you why
I can't tell you why
12. Over You---Cassadee Pope
這首歌曲是Cassadee Pope參加美國之聲時,在10進8的比賽中,導師Blake為Cassadee選擇了他和妻子為已故的兄長創作的歌曲《Over you》作為參賽歌曲,Cassadee對這首歌飽含深情的精彩演繹再次為她贏得滿堂彩,導師們也為她起立鼓掌。
歌曲的原唱正是她導師的妻子Miranda Lambert,美國著名鄉村女歌手。
Weather man said it’s gonna snow
By now I should be used to the cold
Mid-February shouldn’t be so scary
It was only December
I still remember the presents
The tree you and me
But you went away
How dare you
I miss you
They say I』ll be ok
But I’m not going to ever get over you
Living alone here in this place
I think of you and I’m not afraid
Your favorite records make me feel better
Cause you sing along
With every song
I know you didn’t mean to give them to me
But you went away
How dare you
I miss you
They say I』ll be ok
But I’m not going to ever get over you
It really sinks in you know when I see it in stone
Cause you went away how dare you
I miss you
They say I』ll be ok
But I’m not going to ever get over you
13. Jar Of Hearts---Christina Perri
《Jar of Hearts(心之瓶)》刻畫了一位艱難緩慢地走出情傷的女性,費城才女Christina Perri略帶滄桑的嗓音,完美地傳遞出女性心靈的堅韌和對負心人的決絕。當歌曲的高潮部分響起,我們仿佛見證了她破繭成蝶的瞬間。
I know i can t take one more step towards you
Cause all thats waiting is regret
Don't you know i m not your ghost anymore
You lost the love i loved the most
I learned to live half alive
And now you want me one more time
Who do you think you are
Runnin round leaving scars
Collecting a jar of hearts
Tearing love apart
You re gonna catch a cold
From the ice inside your soul
Don't come back for me
Who do you think you are
I hear you re asking all around
If i am anywhere to be found
But i have grown too strong
To ever fall back in your arms
Ive learned to live half alive
And now you want me one more time
Who do you think you are
Runnin round leaving scars
Collecting a jar of hearts
Tearing love apart
You re gonna catch a cold
From the ice inside your soul
Don't come back for me
Who do you think you are
It took so long just to feel alright
Remember how to put back the light in my eyes
I wish i had missed the first time that we kissed
Cause you broke all your promises
And now you re back
You don't get to get me back
Who do you think you are
Running around leaving scars
Collecting a jar of hearts
And tearing love apart
You're gonna catch a cold
From the ice inside your soul
So don't come back for me
Don't come back at all
Who do you think you are
Runnin round leaving scars
Collecting a jar of hearts
Tearing love apart
You're gonna catch a cold
From the ice inside your soul
Don't come back for me
Don't come back at all
Who do you think you are
14. Endless Love---Mariah Carey
經典老歌,同名電影《無盡的愛》的主題曲,原唱是Lionel Richie(前面有過他的一首歌《Hello》),被翻唱了無數個版本。這個版本的翻唱是我最喜歡的。
15. Love Will Keep Us Alive---Eagles
Eagles的鄉村搖滾我無法用言語去形容我的喜愛。
I was standing
All alone against the world outside
You were searching
For a place to hide
Lost and lonely
Now you've given me the will to survive
When we're hungry
Love will keep us alive
Don't you worry
Sometimes you've just gotta let it ride
The world is changing
Right before your eyes
Now I've found you
There's no more emptiness inside
When we're hungry
Love will keep us alive
I would die for you
Climb the highest mountain
Baby there's nothing I wouldn't do
Now I've found you
There's no more emptiness inside
When we're hungry
Love will keep us alive
I would die for you
Climb the highest mountain
Baby there's nothing I wouldn't do
I was standing
All alone against the world outside
You were searching
For a place to hide
Lost and lonely
Now you've given me the will to survive
When we're hungry
Love will keep us alive
When we're hungry
Love will keep us alive
When we're hungry
Love will keep us alive
16. Promise Me---Beverley Craven
悽美的鋼琴前奏,略帶滄桑的淺唱低吟,平淡無奇的歌詞,仿佛演繹著一個纏綿悱惻的愛情故事,讓我沉醉不已。
這首歌被翻成多國語言來翻唱,足見歌曲的魅力。其中有,粵語版:林憶蓮—《沒有你還是愛你》,國語版:辛曉琪—《自私》
You light up another cigarette
And I pour the wine
It's four o'clock in the morning
And it's starting to get light
Now I'm right where I want to be
Losing track of time
But I wish that it was still last night
You look like you're in another world
But I can read your mind
How can you be so far away
Lying by my side
When I go away I'll miss you
And Iwill be thinking of you
Every night and day just
Promise me you'll wait for me
'Cos I will be saving all my love for you
And I will be home soon
Promise me you'll wait for me
I need to know you feel the same way too
And I'll be home I'll be home soon
When I go away I'll miss you
And I will be thinking of you
Every night and day just
Promise me you'll wait for me
'Cos I'll be saving all my love for you
And I will be home soon
Promise me you'll wait for me
I need to know you feel the same way too
And I'll be home' I'll be home soon
Promise me you'll wait for me
'Cos I'll be saving all my love for you
And I will be home soon
Promise me you'll wait for me
I need to know you feel the same way too
And I'll be home I'll be home soon
17.What Are Words---Chris Medina
這首曲子是《美國偶像》(AmericanIdol)第十季絕種好男人中Chris Medina的單曲專輯。雖然止步24強,但是這首曲子卻在網絡上廣為流傳。
Anywhere you are I am near
Anywhere you go I'll be there
Anytime you whisper my name you'll see
How every single promise I'll keep
Cause what kind of guy would I be
If I was to leave when you need me most
What are words
If you really don't mean them
When you say them
What are words
If they're only for good times
Then they're don't
When it's love
Yeah you say them out loud
Those words they never go away
They live on even when we're gone
And I know an angel was sent just for me
And I know I'm meant to be where I am
And I'm gonna be
Standing right beside her tonight
And I'm gonna be by your side
I would never leave when she needs me most
What are words
If you really don't mean them
When you say them
What are words
If they're only for good times
Then they're don't
When it's love
Yeah you say them out loud
Those words they never go away
They live on even when we're gone
Anywhere you are I am near
Anywhere you go I'll be there
And I'm gonna be here forever more
Every single promise I'll keep
Cause what kind of guy would I be
If I was to leave when you need me most
I'm forever keeping my angel close
18. Winter in my Heart--- Befour
Winter In My Heart- Befour
Winter has come
Farewell to the sun
It's getting colder every single day
You are not here
Can't stand you're not near
I'll wait for you forever and I pray
My Fantasy makes believe that you're with me
I have winter in my heart
Cause I miss you more than words can say
When nights are long and lonely without you
I have winter in my heart
Count the hours every single day
That lonesome time is too sad to be true
Got winter in my heart
Snow falling down
And you're not around
I'm all alone in that white wonderland
Taking a walk
There's no one to talk
We used to be together hand in hand
My fantasy makes me believe thar you're with me
I have winter in my heart
Cause I miss you more than words can say
When nights are long and lonely without you
I have winter in my heart
Count the hours every single day
That lonesome time is too sad to be true
Got winter in my heart
Hmm
I have winter in my heart
Cause I miss you more than words can say
When nights are long and lonely without you
I have winter in my heart
Count the hours every single day
That lonesome time is too sad to be true
Got winter in my heart
19. You Took My Heart Away---Michael Learns to Rock
Staring at the moon so blue
Turning all my thoughts to you
I was without hopes or dreams
I tried to dull an inner scream but you
Saw me through
Walking on a path of air
See your faces everywhere
As you melt this heart of stone
You take my hand to guide me home and now
I'm in love
You took my heart away
When my whole world was gray
You gave me everything
And a little bit more
And when it's cold at night
And you sleep by my side
You become the meaning of my life
Living in a world so cold
You are there to warm my soul
You came to mend a broken heart
You gave my life a brand new start and now
I'm in love
You took my heart away
When my whole world was gray
You gave me everything
And a little bit more
And when it's cold at night
And you sleep by my side
You become the meaning of my life
Holding your hand
I won't fear tomorrow
Here were we stand
We'll never be alone
You took my heart away
When my whole world was gray
You gave me everything
And a little bit more
And when it's cold at night
And you sleep by my side
You become the meaning of my life
You become the meaning of my life
You become the meaning
You become the meaning of my life
20. Hello --– Lionel Richie
I've been alone with you inside my mind
And in my dreams I've kissed your lips a thousand times
I sometimes see you pass outside my door
Hello is it me you're looking for
I can see it in your eyes
I can see it in your smile
You're all I've ever wanted and my arms are open wide
Cause you know just what to say and you know just what to do
And I want to tell you so much I love you
I long to see the sunlight in your hair
And tell you time and time again how much I care
Sometimes I feel my heart will overflow
Hello I've just got to let you know
Cause I wonder where you are and I wonder what you do
Are you somewhere feeling lonely
Or is someone loving you
Tell me how to win your heart
For I haven't got a clue
But let me start by saying I love you
Hello
Is it me you're looking for
Cause I wonder where you are and I wonder what you do
Are you somewhere feeling lonely
Or is someone loving you
Tell me how to win your heart
For I haven't got a clue
But let me start by saying I love you
21. Nothing' s Gonna Change My Love For You ---George Benson
If I had to live my life without you near me
The days would all be empty
The nights would seem so long
With you I see forever oh so clearly
I might have been in love before
But it never felt this strong
Our dreams are young and we both know
They'll take us where we want to go
Hold me now
Touch me now
I don't want to live without you
Nothing's gonna change my love for you
You ought to know by now how much I love you
One thing you can be sure of
I'll never ask for more than your love
Nothing's gonna change my love for you
You ought to know by now how much I love you
The world may change my whole life through
But nothing's gonna change my love for you
If the road ahead is not so easy
Our love will lead the way for us
Like a guiding star
I'll be there for you if you should need me
You don't have to change a thing
I love you just the way you are
So come with me and share the view
I'll help you see forever too
Hold me now
Touch me now
I don't want to live without you
Nothing's gonna change my love for you
You ought to know by now how much I love you
One thing you can be sure of
I'll never ask for more than your love
Nothing's gonna change my love for you
You ought to know by now how much I love you
The world may change my whole life through
But nothing's gonna change my love for you
Nothing's gonna change my love for you
You ought to know by now how much I love you
One thing you can be sure of
I'll never ask for more than your love
Nothing's gonna change my love for you
You ought to know by now how much I love you
The world may change my whole life through
But nothing's gonna change my love for you
Nothing's gonna change my love for you
You ought to know by now how much I love you
One thing you can be sure of
I'll never ask for more than your love
Nothing's gonna change my love for you
You ought to know by now how much I love you
The world may change my whole life through
But nothing's gonna change my love for you
Nothing's gonna change my love for you
You ought to know by now
22. Another Day in Paradise---Phil Collins
歌曲像是在講訴一個故事,前面反應著現實中某些對於苦難的冷漠:一位流離失所、無處過夜的女子向路人求救卻遭拒。歌曲後面用委婉的歌聲勸說冷漠者:你應該考慮一下,只不過是舉手之勞。
She calls out to the man on the street
Sir can you help me
It's cold and I've nowhere to sleep
Is there somewhere you can tell me
He walks on doesn't look back
He pretends he can't hear her
Starts to whistle
As he crosses the street
Seems embarrassed to be there
Oh think twice
It's another 4 day for you and me In paradise
Oh think twice
It's just another day for you In this paradise
Just think about it
She calls out to the man on the street
He can see she's been crying
Shen's got blisters
On the soles of her feet
She can't walk but she's trying
Oh think twice
It's another 4 day for you and me In paradise
Oh think twice
It's just another day for you In this paradise
Just think about it
Oh lord is there nothing more Anybody can do
Oh lord there must be something you can say
You can tell From the lines on her face
You can see That she's been there
Probably been moved on From every place
Cause she didn't fit in there
Oh think twice
It's another 4 day for you and me In paradise
Oh think twice
It's just another day for you In this paradise
Just think about it
Just think about it
It's another 4 day for you and me In paradise
It's just another day for you In this paradise
Just think about it Just think about it paradise paradise
23. Burning---Maria Arredondo
很經典的歌曲,應該很多人都收藏有,曲中把失戀與留戀的感情表現的淋漓盡致。
Passion is sweet
Love makes weak
You said you cherished freedom so
You refused to let it go
Follow your faith
Love and hate
Never failed to seize the day
But don't give yourself away
Oh when the night falls
And you're all alone
In your deepest sleep
What are you dreaming of
My skin's still burning from your touch
Oh I just can't get enough
I said I wouldn't ask for much
But your eyes are dangerous
So the thought keeps spinning in my head
Can we drop this masquerade
I can't predict where it ends
If you're the rock I'll crush against
Trapped in a crowd
Music's loud
I said I loved my freedom too
Now I'm not so sure I do
All eyes on you
Wings so true
Better quit while you're ahead
Now I'm not so sure I am
Oh when the night falls
And you're all alone
In your deepest sleep
What are you dreaming of
My skin's still burning from your touch
Oh I just can't get enough
I said I wouldn't ask for much
But your eyes are dangerous
So the thought keeps spinning in my head
Can we drop this masquerade
I can't predict where it ends
If you're the rock I'll crush against
My soul my heart
If you're near or if you're far
My life my love
You can have it all
Oh when the night falls
And you're all alone
In your deepest sleep
What are you dreaming of
My skin's still burning from your touch
Oh I just can't get enough
I said I wouldn't ask for much
But your eyes are dangerous
So the thought keeps spinning in my head
Can we drop this masquerade
I can't predict where it ends
If you're the rock I'll crush against
If you're the rock I'll crush against
24. Can You Feel the Love Tonight---Elton John
There's a calm surrender
To the rush of day
When the heat of the rolling world
Can be turned away
And enchanted moment
And it sees me through
It's enough for this restless warrior
Just to be with U
And can U feel the love tonight
It is where we are
It's enough for this wide-eyed wanderer
That we got this far
And can U feel the love tonight
How it's laid to rest
It's enough to make kings & vagabonds
Believe the very best
There's a time for everyone
If they only learn
That the twisting kaleidoscope
Moves us all in turn
There's a rhyme & reason
To the wild outdoors
When the heart of this star-crossed voyager
Beats in time with Urs
And can U feel the love tonight
It is where we are
It's enough for this wide-eyed wanderer
That we got this far
And can U feel the love tonight
How it's laid to rest
It's enough to make kings & vagabonds
Believe the very best
It's enough to make kings & vagabonds
Believe the very best
25. Just One Last Dance--- Sarah Connor
表達了戀人即將永別的深深的痛苦和無奈。
Just one last dance
Oh baby just one last dance
We meet in the night in the Spanish cafe
I look in your eyes just don't know what to say
It feels like I'm drowning in salty water
A few hours left 'til the sun's gonna rise
Tomorrow will come and it's time to realize
Our love has finished forever
How I wish to come with you
Wish to come with you
How I wish we make it through
Just one last dance
Before we say goodbye
When we sway and turn
Round and round and round
It's like the first time
Just one more chance
Hold me tight and keep me warm
Cause the night is getting cold
And I don't know where I belong
Just one last dance
The wine and the lights and the Spanish guitar
I'll never forget how romantic they are
But I know tomorrow I'll lose the one I love
There's no way to come with you
It's the only way to do
Just one last dance
Before we say goodbye
When we sway and turn
Round and round and round
It's like the first time
Just one more chance
Hold me tight and keep me warm
Cause the night is getting cold
And I don't know where I belong
Just one last dance
Just one last dance
Before we say goodbye
When we sway and turn
Round and round and round
It's like the first time
Just one more chance
Hold me tight and keep me warm
Cause the night is getting cold
And I don't know where I belong
Just one last dance
Before we say goodbye
When we sway and turn
Round when we sway and
Turn round and hold me tight
Just one more chance
Hold me tight and keep me warm
Cause the night is the night is getting cold
And I don't know where I belong
Just one last dance
Just one last dance just one more chance
Just one more chance
Just one last dance
26. The Color Of The Night---Lauren Christy
奧斯卡金曲,美國電影《夜色》(同名電影)的主題曲,每次聽了我都有一種心顫的感覺,原本相愛的兩人卻突然多了一道心牆,像那夜色越來越深沉。
You and I moving in the dark
bodies close but souls apart
shadowed smiles secrets unrevealed
i need to know the way u feel
i'll give u everything i am
and everything i want to be
i'll put it in your hands
if u could open up to me oh
can't we ever get beyond this wall
cause all i want is just once
to see u in the light
but u hide behind
the color of the night
i can't go on
running from the past
love has torn away this mask
and now like clouds
like rain i'm drowning
and i blame it all on u
i'm lost god save me
i'll give u everything i am
and everything i want to be
i'll put it in your hands
if u could open up to me oh
can't we ever get beyond this wall
cause all i want is just once
to see u in the light
but u hide behind
the colorof the night
woo woo woo woo
god save me
woo woo
i'll give u everything i am
and everything i want to be
can't we ever get beyond this wall
cause all i want is just once
forever again
i'm waiting for u
i'm standing in the light
but u hide behind
the color of the night
please come out from
the color of the night
27. Without You-Mariah Carey
Without You被無數人翻唱,最喜愛的還是Mariah Carey的這個版本。
No I can't forget this evening
Or your face as you were leaving
But I guess that's just the way
The story goes
You always smile but in your eyes
Your sorrow shows
Yes it shows
No I can't forget tomorrow
When I think of all my sorrow
When I had you there
But then I let you go
And now it's only fair
That I should let you know
What you should know
I can't live
If living is without you
I can't live
I can't give anymore
I can't live
If living is without you
I can't give
I can't give anymore
Well I can't forget this evening
Or your face as you were leaving
But I guess that's just the way
The story goes
You always smile but in your eyes
Your sorrow shows
Yes it shows
I can't live
If living is without you
I can't live
I can't give anymore
I can't live
If living is without you
I can't give
I can't give anymore
I can't live
If living is without you
I can't live
I can't give anymore
28. You Are Not Alone---Michael Jackson
歌曲背景:
最溫馨,最感人的季節裡,美國音樂人R.Kelly把You Are Not Alone(你並不孤單)用他很真摯的感情譜寫好,並且填詞,想送給他的母親,後來幾經碾轉之下,被麥可發現,於是,最感人清新的獨白在這首歌曲裡迸發出來,朗朗上口,證明了世界上的真情所在,每一個人只要有感情,有愛心,即使在最孤獨的時候,都不會孤單,因為那種思念和祝福總會伴隨左右。
Another day has gone
I'm still all alone
How could this be
You're not here with me
You never said goodbye
Someone tell me why
Did you have to go
And leave my world so cold
Every day I sit and ask myself
How did love slip away
Something whispers
In my ear and says
That you are not alone
I am here with you
Though you're far away
I am here to stay
You are not alone
I am here with you
Though we're far apart
You're always in my heart
You are not alone
Alone alone
Why
Alone
Just the other night
I thought I heard you cry
Asking me to come
And hold you in my arms
I can hear your prayers
Your burdens I will bear
But first I need your hand
Then forever can begin
Every day I sit and ask myself
How did love slip away
Something whispers
In my ear and says
But you are not alone
I am here with you
Though you're far away
I am here to stay
You are not alone
I am here with you
Though we're far apart
You're always in my heart
You are not alone
Oh whisper three words
And I'll come running fly
And girl you know
That I'll be there I'll be there
But you are not alone
I am here with you
Though you're far away
I am here to stay
You are not alone
I am here with you
Though we're far apart
You're always in my heart
But you are not alone
You are not alone
I am here with you
I am here with you
Though you're far away
Though you're far away
You and me
I am here to stay
You are not alone
You are always in my heart
I am here with you
Though we're far apart
You're always in my heart
You are not alone
Not alone
You are not alone you are not alone
Say it again
You are not alone you are not alone
Not alone not alone
Just reach out for me girl
In the morning in the evening
Not alone not alone
You and me
Not alone alone
Together together
Just stop being alone
Just stop being alone
29. Now And Forever---Richard Marx
Richard Marx前面有過一首Right Here Waiting,這首NowAnd Forever我也非常喜歡。張惠妹曾經翻唱過。
Whenever I'm weary
From the battles that raged in my head
You made sense of madness
When my sanity hangs by a thread
I lose my way but still you
Seem to understand
Now and Forever
I will be your man
Sometimes I just hold you
Too caught up in me to see
I'm holding a fortune
That Heaven has given to me
I'll try to show you
Each and every way I can
Now and Forever
I will be your man
Now I can rest my worries
And always be sure
That I won't be alone anymore
If I'd only known you were there
All the time
All this time
Until the day the ocean
Doesn't touch the sand
Now and Forever
I will be your man
Now and Forever
I will be your man
30. Love In December---Club 8
悠遠清亮的聲音透著一縷憂傷,我只需沉浸其中。
So this is love
In the end of december
Quiet nights
Quiet stars
And i'm here
Monday to sunday
Cause you're fragile
And i'm weak
So you fall
When the nights grow longer
Into sleep
And won't wake up
And i'm here
Outside here beside you
And i'm weak
Until rhe spring
Don't you worry
I'll be there for you
Don't worry about me
You know me better than that
Don't you worry
I'll be there for you
I'll catch you if you would fall
(music)
So you drift
When the days grow colder
Away from me
And won't look back
Far away
And i can't guide you
But i'm here
Til the spring
Don't you worry
I'll be there for you
Don't worry about me
You know me better than that
Don't you worry
I'll be there for you
I'll catch you if you would fall
Don't worry about me
I'll be there for you
Don't worry about me
You know me better than that
Don't you worry
I 'll be there for you
I'll catch you if you would fall
I'll catch you if you would fall
31. Because I Love You---Shakin Stevens
If I got down on my knees and I pleaded with you
If I crossed a million oceans just to be with you
Would you ever let me down
If I climbed the highest mountain just to hold you tight
If I said that I would love you every single night
Would you ever let me down
Well I'm sorry if it sounds kinds sad
It's just that I'm worried
So worried that you'll let me down
Because I love you love you love you so don't let me down
If I swam the longest river just to call your name
If I said the way I feel for you would never change
Would you ever fool around
Well I'm sorry if it sounds kinds bad it's just that I'm worried
I'm so worried that you'll let me down
Because I(love you love you) love you love you
Well I'm sorry if it sounds kinds bad it's just that I'm worried
Yes I'm so worried that you'll let me down
Because I love you love you
Oooh I love you love you love you
32. When you believe---Whitney Houston&Mariah Carey
When You Believe(當你相信時)為1998年夢工廠動畫片《埃及王子》的主題曲。創作靈感來自於動畫片主角回憶想向上帝祈禱的場景,起初,他們祈禱數夜上帝卻未曾應答,最終卻堅信,只要相信上帝,奇蹟就一定會出現,也就是歌詞中的There can be miracles when you believe, 這也是本首歌的主題所在。
Many nights we've prayed
With no proof anyone could hear
In our hearts a hopeful song
We barely understood
Now we are not afraid
Although we know there's much to fear
We were moving mountains
Long before we knew we could
There can be miracles when you believe
Though hope is frail it's hard to kill
Who knows what miracles you can achieve
When you believe somehow you will
You will when you believe
Mariah Carey:
In this time of fear
When prayer so often proves in vain
Hope seems like the summer birds
Too swiftly flown away
Yet now I'm standing here
My heart's so full I can't explain
Seeking faith and speaking words
I never thought I'd say
Both:
There can be miracles when you believe
Though hope is frail it's hard to kill
Who knows what miracles you can achieve
When you believe somehow you will
You will when you believe
They don't always happen when you ask
And it's easy to give in to your fears
But when you're blinded by your pain
Can't see your way clear through the rain
A small but still resilient voice says
Help is very near
There can be miracles when you believe
Though hope is frail it's hard to kill
Who knows what miracles you can achieve
When you believe somehow you will
Now you will you will when you believe
You will when you believe just believe
Just believe you will when you believe
What have I at last become
Something has gone terribly wrong
What was once a joyful world
Was it just an island all along
My god the ache has grown so strong
The search for home has gone too long
Won't you please tear down the veil
Reveal the truth in light and song
Where does love go
Does anyone know
When words in a song
Are all that there is to show
And deep in your heart
I know you're falling apart
Does anyone know
Or is it only God knows
Where does love go
What is this twisted pain I feel
The irony is so surreal
While it holds me from the light
It is the very light I need to heal
How could I fail to see the signs
No need to read between the lines
When this piano fails to sing
It is a sun that fails to shine
Where does love go
Does anyone know
When words in a song
Are all that there is to show
And deep in your heart
I know you're falling apart
Does anyone know
Or is it only God knows
Where does love go
It seems my dreams have come to naught
You haven't lost you just forget
This burden seems too great to bear
Surrender up your troubled lot
I am a man of faith distraught
With promise of a faith renewed
Within the grip of winter caught
Yet love remains inside of you
And as it is with everything
As winter came so comes the spring
Although you've shown me what is true
In truth I turned away from you
But you touch my face correct my gaze
Now my life is coming into view
Forgive me for my selfish ways
I guess they served me in my younger days
But now that I've so much to give
I must find another way to live
It seems that only God know
Through the black and the blue
That after it all
And everything you've been through
And all of the mountains
And the oceans you've crossed
The love that you lost
Was right here waiting for you
It just goes to show
That love never goes
34.唱首憂鬱的歌 Song Sung Blue
Song sung blue
Everybody knows one
Song sung blue
Every garden grows one
Me and you are subject to the blues now and then
But when you take the blues and make a song
You sing them out again
Sing them out again
Song sung blue
Weeping like a willow
Song sung blue
Sleeping on my pillow
Funny thing but you can sing it with a cry in your voice
And before you know it start to feeling good
You simply got no choice
Me and you are subject to the blues now and then
But when you take the blues and make a song
You sing them out again
Song sung blue
Weeping like a willow
Song sung blue
Sleeping on my pillow
Funny thing but you can sing it with a cry in your voice
And before you know it start to feeling good
You simply got no choice
Song sung blue
Song sung blue
35.Bressanone
Here I stand in Bressanone
with the stars up in the sky
Are they shining over Brenner
and upon the other side
you would be a sweet surrender
I must go the other way
And my train will carry me onward
though my heart would surdly stay
Wo my heart would surely stay
Now the clouds are flying by me
and the moon is the rise
I have left stars behind me
they were disamondsin your skies
You would be a sweet surrender
I must go the other way
And my train will carry me onward
though my heart would surely stay
Wo my heart would surely stay
我今天才知道,我之所以漂泊就是在向你靠近。
--《廊橋遺夢》
