英籍歌手Dusty Springfield非常喜歡此曲,
要求電視節目製作人 Vicki Wickham 填上英文歌詞,
當時Yardbirds 樂團經理Simon Napier-Bell 被委此重任,
於是英文歌曲《You Don'thave To Say You Love Me》面世
1966年Dusty Springfield 馮此曲登上了排行榜冠軍.
1939年4月16日出生在倫敦的 Dusty Springfield，
在1963年開始了自己的演唱生活，
曾是民歌組合“The Springfield”的一員，
並獲得了一些成績，在接下來的4年裏，
Dusty Springfield 的名字也時常出現在英國排行榜的前20名………..

Strawberries cherries and an angel's kiss in spring
My summer wine is really made from all these things
I walked in town on silver spurs that jingled to
A song that I had only sang to just a few
She saw my silver spurs and said, Let's pass some time
And I will give to you summer wine, Oh-oh summer wine
Strawberries cherries and an angel's kiss in spring
My summer wine is really made from all these things
Take off your silver spurs and help me pass the time
And I will give to you summer wine, Oh-oh summer wine
My eyes grew heavy and my lips they could not speak
I tried to get up, but I couldn't find my feet
She reassured me with an unfamiliar line
And then she gave to me more summer wine,
Oh-oh summer wine
Strawberries cherries and an angel's kiss in spring
My summer wine is really made from all these things
Take off your silver spurs and help me pass the time
And I will give to you summer wine Oh-oh summer wine
When we woke up the sun was shining in our eyes
Our silver spurs were gone my head felt twice its size
Who took the silver spurs, a dollar and a dime
And left us cravin' for more summer wine,
Oh-oh summer wine
Oh-oh. Oh-oh Oh-oh Oh

The Carpenters《I won’t Last A Day Without You》
一個奇怪的組合,Paul Williams 沒有受過甚麼音樂方面的教授,
在舞臺上的資歷大概只是一名替身演員,
Roger Nichols 小提琴演奏得不錯,卻不比他的籃球技術出色,
兩個不同類型的人,只是為了糊口恰巧地到了同一家唱片公司,
於是擦出了火花,合作寫過幾首歌曲,效果不俗,
以致Paul Williams 日後在樂壇成為出色的歌曲創作者,
此君真的可以算得上是一位多才多藝的天才.
在兩人合作的早期,其中的一首歌曲,
就是 《I won’t Last A Day Without You》,
Barbra Streisad 及 Maureen Mcgoven 分別曾唱過此曲,

Help, I need somebody,
Help, not just anybody,
Help, you know I need someone,
Help.
When I was younger, so much younger than today,
I never needed anybody's help in anyway.
But now these days are gone, I'm not so self assured,
Now I find I've changed my mind and opened up the doors.
Help me if you can, I'm feeling down
And I do appreciate you being 'round.
Help me get my feet back on the ground,
Won't you please, please help me?
And now my life has changed in oh so many ways,
My independence seems to vanish in the haze.
But every now and then I feel so insecure,
I know that I just need you like I've never done before.
Help me if you can, I'm feeling down
And I do appreciate you being 'round.
Help me get my feet back on the ground,
Won't you please, please help me?
When I was younger, so much younger than today,
I never needed anybody's help in anyway.
But now these days are gone, I'm not so self assured,

Sonny And Cher 《I Got You Baby》
年少時買了好些盜版LP,
其中一張全是純音樂作品,
內有不知名的電吉他《Magnificent Seven》及
《The Guns Of Navarone》,
還有近似Paul Mauriat 風格的《I Got You Baby》,
後來出社會工作,經濟稍好,有了音響器材,
扔了所有盜版LP (想起來也後悔),
長大了,很難再遇到那時候所聽到的版本.
現在在Youtube 內找到了一些舊歌,才稍為瞭解這些歌曲的背境.
就像《I Got You Baby》1965,
原來是天后雪兒Cher第一次與前夫Sonny奪得排行榜冠軍的歌曲,
很多人根本不曾聽過,
但個人私底下對此曲就有一份獨特的情感.
當時的純音樂演奏亦很出色,大概此生亦無緣再次聽得到!!
茫然若有所失!

I believe for every drop of rain
That falls a flower grows
I believe that somewhere
In the darkest night a candle grows
And I believe for every one who goes asrtay
Someone will come to show the way
I believe, Yes, I believe
I believe above the storm
The smallest prayer will still be heard
I believe someone in the great
Somewhere hears every wold
Every time I hear a new born baby cry
Or touch a leaf or see the sky
Then I know why I believe
(本篇內容曾引起一些反對迴響,
有關流行曲之父的一些相同背景因素,
可參考被譽為希臘流行曲之父 Vangelis,
他將Rock & Roll 文化引入希臘,
極力推廣流行曲,
懂得作曲,精通一些樂器,
許冠傑都能附合大部份條件,
只有一個缺憾, Rock & Roll 的精神是將音樂解放,
日常的,生活化的, 大眾的,音樂不再限於只屬於貴族或上流社會,
任何人都享有音樂的權利,
但香港昔日能夠參予這些推動力的,卻是中產階層,
惟獨是像Teddy Robin, Sam Hui 這些中產家庭出身的人,
才能接觸到歐美音樂潮流與文化,)

The HOLLIES《He Ain`t Heavy He`s My Brother》
1921 年美國 Nebraska 內布拉斯加,
Edward J. Flanagan (1886-1948) 神父所創辦的Boy Town 孤兒院正式啟用,
傳奇的故事就此序幕,孤兒院以外,是黃,賭,毒的罪惡世界,
Flanagan 神父用無比的愛心去挽回這些面對罪惡邊緣的少年心!
這個真實故事在 1938 年被拍成電影,
劇中演員Spencer Tracy 憑此奪得該年奧斯卡最佳男主角獎,
日後Spencer Tracy 更被推舉為百年來最偉大的男演員第 9 名.
『Boy Town』1938 電影片段 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_-ScDP7M1UI http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mNqFqinW32Y
1941 年聖誕節, Flanagan 神父偶然看到一份印刷品標題,
出於 Mr. Van B Hooper 的手筆,
此君後來成為 『Ideals 雜誌』的編輯.
標題上寫著: 『He Ain`t Heavy, He`s My Brother』.
隨著時日, Flanagan 神父看到孤兒院內男童門互相扶持,
彼此相愛,心靈大得安慰,
Boy Town 孤兒院亦慢慢地成長,後期考慮到女孤兒的需要,
遂發展出成為『Girls And Boys Town』.
『He Ain`t Heavy, He`s My Brother』就是他們的代表標題!

近代多了一些電子樂器,
一些高手利用這些樂器去表達我們的現實生活,
六十年代 Simon and Garfunkel創作了一首很美的歌曲,
在《Sound Of Silence》內,
歌詞出色,就算只用誦讀形式唸出來,
已有節拍,已有抑揚頓挫,內容如詩,但又表達清晰。
『Hello darkness my old friend,
Can not touch
Can not hold
Can not be together
Can not love
Can not kiss
Can not have each other
Must be strong, and we must let go
Can not say what our hearts must know
How can I not love you
What do I tell my heart
When do I not want you
Here in my arms
How does one waltz away
From all of the memories
How do I not miss you
When you are gone
Can not dream
Can not share
Sweet and tender moments
Can not feel
How we feel
Must pretend it's over
Must be brave, and we must go on
Must not say, what we've known all along
How can I not love you
What do I tell my heart
When do I not want you
Here in my arms
How does one waltz away
From all of the memories
How do I not miss you
When you are gone
How can I not love you..
Must be brave
And we must be strong
Cannot say what we've known all along.
How can I not love you
What do I tell my heart
When do I not want you
Here in my arms
How does one waltz away
From all the memories
How do I not miss you
When you are gone
How can I not love you
When you are gone 作者: winhchan 時間: 2010-3-11 01:29

Kelly Clarkson《Breakaway》
小橋流水，曉風殘月,
惟有『殘月』這種瑕疵,
才叫藝術更美。
大概歌唱也是如此,圓潤無瑕的歌聲令人陶醉,
但沙啞的嗓音仍可以令人聞之肝腸寸斷!
美國偶像KellyClarkson就有這種本領,
一重又一重的決實,
十幾次漫長的千錘百鍊,
才艱難困苦地以歌曲《A Moment Like This》踏上第一季美國偶像的寶座
並且,youtube上觀看其中一個《A Moment Like This》之posting,
就超過一千萬人次之多,可見這位歌手,
一出道就光華四射
歌詞中譯:摘自奇摩知識-筆名『吉姆』
All Good Things(Come To An End) (好景不常)
Honestly what would become of me 老實說 什麼才是自己
Don't like reality 真實不是我的話題
It's way too clear to me 對我 那太過清晰
But really life is dandy 但生活是每日的累積
We are what we don't see我們總是看不清自己
Miss everything daydreaming整天在白日夢找東西
Flames to dust 火焰然成灰
Lovers to friends 情人變朋友
Why do all good things come to an end為何好景總不常久
Traveling I always stop at exits 旅行時 我總停在出口
Wondering if I'll stay 思索著是否停留
Young and restless 年輕的愁
Living this way I stress less 這樣活著我也樂的輕鬆
I want to pull away when the dream dies 夢想逝去就讓我撤退
The pain sets in and I don't cry 讓痛襲來 我不流淚
I only feel gravity and I wonder why只剩重力作用 心好累
And he dogs were whistling a new tune 狗也哼唱起新的旋律
barking at the new moon 朝著新月吠吼
hoping it will come soon 希望它快點來 結束這一切
And the sun was wondering if it should stay away for a day til the feeling wentaway
太陽真掙扎著是否要停留直到感覺消失
And the sky was falling and the clouds were dropping 天空落入雲中

Je naurais pas du venir
我本不該來
Jaurais du savoir mentir

Ne laisser que ton sourire 僅將你的微笑在記憶裏封存
Vivre dans mes souvenirs
我本應該放棄希望
Jaurais du laisser lespoir
就這樣和你說再見
Adoucir les au revoir
這趟列車連同我身心的一部分
*Ce train qui sen va
Cest un peu de moi
Qui part....qui part....
漸行漸遠
Je savais que ce serait
我知道這樣很難
Diffficile mais je pensais
但我還是得學著
Que je saurai te cacher
將自己的感情隱暪
Le plus grand de mes secrets
但對你撒謊又有何益
Mais a quoi bon te mentir
只能眼睜睜的看你遠離
Cest dur de te voir partir
趁眼淚還沒有滾滾落下
*Refrain
Et avant que ne coule une larme
讓我在你的微笑裏放鬆起來
Dans ton sourire qui me desarme我試著尋找些許的安慰
Je cherche un peu de reconfort
在你的懷抱裏
Dans tes bras je veux me blottir有我溫馨的港灣
Pour mieux garder le souvenir
讓留住你身體全部的溫暖
Detout la chaleur deton
我用盡全力去留住這記憶
Je naurais pas du venir

You'llremember me when the west wind moves
Upon the fields of barley
You'll forget the sun in his jealous sky
As we walk in the fields of gold
So she took her love
For to gaze awhile
Upon the fields of barley
In his arms she fell as her hair came down
Among the fields of gold
Will you stay with me, will you be my love
Among the fields of barley
We'll forget the sun in his jealous sky
As we lie in the fields of gold
See the west wind move like a lover so
Upon the fields of barley
Feel her body rise when you kiss her mouth
Among the fields of gold
I never made promises lightly
And there have been some that I've broken
But I swear in the days still left
We'll walk in the fields of gold
We'll walk in the fields of gold
Many years have passed since those summer days
Among the fields of barley
See the children run as the sun goes down
Among the fields of gold
You'll remember me when the west wind moves
Upon the fields of barley
You can tell the sun in his jealous sky
When we walked in the fields of gold
When we walked in the fields of gold
When we walked in the fields of gold

I know there’s something in the wake ofyour smile
I get a notion from the look in your eyes, yeah
you’ve built a love but that love falls apart
your little piece of heaven turns too dark
listen to your heart
when he’s calling for you
listen to your heart
there’s nothing else you can do
I don’t know where you’re going
and I don’t know why
but listen to your heart
before you tell him goodbye
sometimes you wonder if this fight is worthwhile
the precious moments are all lost in the tide, yeah
they’re swept away and nothing is what is seems
the feeling of belonging to your dreams
listen to your heart
when he’s calling for you
listen to your heart
there’s nothing else you can do
I don’t know where you’re going
and I don’t know why
but listen to your heart
before you tell him goodbye
and there are voices
that want to be heard
so much to mention
but you can’t find the words
the scent of magic
the beauty that’s been
when love was wilder than the wind
listen to your heart
when he’s calling for you
listen to your heart
there’s nothing else you can do
I don’t know where you’re going
and I don’t know why
but listen to your heart
before you tell him goodbye
Listen to your heart....mm..mmm

流行歌曲不但憑曲寄意,
還有歌詞相輔相成,
於是,很多旋律不怎麼樣的歌曲,
卻有纏綿悱惻的歌詞,
人往往受到歌詞內容所感。
歐西流行歌曲當中,有一首詞曲都不錯的作品,
一句剖心表露愛慕的歌詞,
甚至連中文亦無法透徹翻譯表達,
更枉談用純音樂可以演繹出他的神韻,
聽的人真的會『甜死!』,
