上世紀(jì)80年代,Michael Jackson的太空舞步一度震撼了中國(guó)年輕一代的眼球。自此以后,歐美流行歌曲始終不乏忠實(shí)的中國(guó)擁躉,甚至包括很多知名歌手和音樂(lè)人。無(wú)論曾經(jīng)風(fēng)行小資族群的藍(lán)調(diào)、爵士、搖滾,直到現(xiàn)在風(fēng)靡中國(guó)流行樂(lè)壇的R&B,其中又有多少內(nèi)涵是來(lái)自歐美流行歌曲的影響和借鑒。
然而大家是否知道,歐美經(jīng)典流行歌曲還有另外一個(gè)別出心裁的作用,正源于其美妙歌詞。這些描述了不同情感內(nèi)容的歌詞,似乎也很能給予點(diǎn)滴生活靈感,例如寫(xiě)一封纏綿悱惻的情書(shū)、送一段情真意切的祝福。
初戀篇
1. Now and Forever Singer: Richard Marx
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
“從現(xiàn)在到永遠(yuǎn)”,這一直是有關(guān)愛(ài)情的最長(zhǎng)久證言,恰適用于兩人確立戀愛(ài)關(guān)系初始,給予對(duì)方繼續(xù)下去的信心和承諾。
我知道你在那里,始終如一。
Until the day the ocean doesn’t touch the sand,所謂“滄海桑田”,也無(wú)過(guò)如此。
2. Love Will Keep Us Alive Singer: The Eagles
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
我遺世獨(dú)立,你孤單流離,多少人正在茫茫人海中尋訪之靈魂伴侶。而我驀然找到了你,于是彼此開(kāi)始有勇氣去面對(duì)世界。
When we’re hungry,這里hungry意指精神境界的饑渴,love則自然地被喻為維持生存的養(yǎng)料。當(dāng)遇到令你難忘的另一半,相信這會(huì)是足以打動(dòng)她/他的語(yǔ)言。
3. I Do Believe in Love Singer: Katie Melua
But I do believe in love
Though I should never rely on love
Nothing else excites me
But loving you
這個(gè)世界上,很多事實(shí)曖昧難明,令人無(wú)法相信。但是我依然堅(jiān)信愛(ài)情,因?yàn)槲覑?ài)上了你。Do believe in love與之前Don’t believe的種種世情形成強(qiáng)烈對(duì)比,以此強(qiáng)調(diào)描述愛(ài)情的不可思議,若你曾經(jīng)憤世嫉俗,這首歌便是你邂逅愛(ài)情的寫(xiě)照。
熱戀篇
4. When You Say Nothing At All Singer: Ronan Keating
The smile on your face lets me know that you need me
There's a truth in your eyes saying you'll never leave me
The touch of your hand says you'll catch me wherever I fall
You say it best, when you say nothing at all
《When You Say Nothing At All》是言情電影《諾丁山》的主題曲。正如《諾丁山》旨在探求不同生存背景的兩人為何會(huì)產(chǎn)生愛(ài)情,這首主題曲則完美詮釋出沉浸熱戀之中的愛(ài)人是如何傳達(dá)心聲。
微笑的臉、真實(shí)的眼、溫柔的手,完全代替語(yǔ)言,一點(diǎn)一滴都是滋生愛(ài)情的土壤。當(dāng)你不說(shuō)話的時(shí)候,一切盡在不言中。
5. Flying Without Wing Singer: Westlife & BoA
Everybody's looking for a something
One thing that makes it all complete
……
Well, for me it's waking up beside you
To watch the sun rise on your face
To know that I can say I love you
At any given time or place
……
And you're the place my life begins
And you'll be where it ends
對(duì)每個(gè)人來(lái)說(shuō),都有一件很特別的事物。找到它,才能真正讓人生完整。
對(duì)我來(lái)說(shuō),這件事就是每天醒來(lái)的時(shí)候躺在你身邊,看著太陽(yáng)升起在你的臉上;無(wú)論任何時(shí)間地點(diǎn)場(chǎng)合,可以向所有人宣稱(chēng)我愛(ài)你。
用這段詞來(lái)求婚成功率一定不低。“你是我生命的開(kāi)始,也是終結(jié)?!毕嘈艣](méi)有多少女人能夠拒絕這樣一句情話。
離別篇
6. Goodbye My Lover Singer: James Blunt
And as you move on, remember me,
Remember us and all we used to be
I've seen you cry, I've seen you smile.
I've watched you sleeping for a while.
I'd be the father of your child.
I'd spend a lifetime with you.
We've had our doubts but now we're fine,
And I love you, I swear that's true.
“人們說(shuō)你就要離開(kāi)村莊,我們將懷念你的微笑。你的眼睛比太陽(yáng)更明亮,照耀在我們心上?!?《紅河谷》瑯瑯上口的旋律講述著對(duì)遠(yuǎn)行之人的留念,《Goodbye My Lover》卻反倒希望即將離開(kāi)的戀人能夠記住,記住過(guò)去發(fā)生的一切,記住我愛(ài)你這個(gè)事實(shí),記住有個(gè)人曾經(jīng)愿意跟你共度一生。
離別伊始,如果戀人尚有余情,看到這些感情真摯的言辭,說(shuō)不定可以挽回一段感情。
7. Autumn Leaves Singer: Eva Cassidy
The falling leaves drift by the window
The autumn leaves of red and gold
I see your lips, the summer kisses
The sunburned hand I used to hold
Since you went away the days grow long
And soon I'll hear old winter's song
But I miss you most of all, my darling
紅紅黃黃的落葉沿窗飄落,我從中看見(jiàn)過(guò)去的快樂(lè),夏日的熱吻,緊握的雙手。原來(lái)你離開(kāi)這么久了,就快聽(tīng)見(jiàn)冬天冷風(fēng)的呼嘯,然而我還是這么思念你……
這段歌詞借景抒情,由一個(gè)獨(dú)特切入點(diǎn),深刻描繪對(duì)分手戀人的想念和牽掛。有時(shí)候讓對(duì)方知道你的想法未必一定想挽回,兩人能有一段共同的美好回憶也是一件幸運(yùn)的緣分。
友情篇
8. Thats What Friends Are For Singer: Paul Mauriat
Keep smilin', keep shinin'
Knowin' you can always count on me-ee, for sure
That's what friends are for
For good times and bad times
I'll be on your side forever more-ore
That's what friends are for
放心微笑和享受吧,你永遠(yuǎn)可以依靠我。無(wú)論成功或失敗,我始終會(huì)陪在你身邊。這,就是朋友的意義。問(wèn)一百個(gè)人,什么是朋友?得到的答案想必不盡相同。而另一層面上,朋友的意義也會(huì)很簡(jiǎn)單,意味著無(wú)條件的支持和信賴(lài)。以上幾句話已經(jīng)完全概括了。
然而大家是否知道,歐美經(jīng)典流行歌曲還有另外一個(gè)別出心裁的作用,正源于其美妙歌詞。這些描述了不同情感內(nèi)容的歌詞,似乎也很能給予點(diǎn)滴生活靈感,例如寫(xiě)一封纏綿悱惻的情書(shū)、送一段情真意切的祝福。
