我唱的“the winner takes it all”, 這首歌,是唱媽媽咪呀,和Dancing Queen的 ABBA 樂隊的歌。據說女歌手唱這首歌的時候剛剛失婚二周。這首歌翻成中文,歌名叫“贏者通吃”,講的是感情世界裏的博弈,贏者為王,輸者黯然神傷。
這首歌很熟的,到處會聽到。ABBA的歌比較高亢和熱鬧,大部分都不大對我的胃口,但是這首算慢歌,特別是聽到Carla Bruni的版本,我開始喜歡。
卡拉·布呂尼,她是法國前第一夫人、歌手、前超模,丈夫是法國前總統 Nicolas Sarkozy薩科齊。當然現在,薩科齊夫人,變成了不離不棄,時常探監的囚犯妻子。[偷笑]
卡拉·布呂尼是一隻啞窟窿,她唱的這首winner takes it all,又慢又低沉,比較感性。碰巧看到伴奏的軟件裏有這首歌的伴奏,趕緊拿來唱。卡拉的歌,我收在Spotify裏,上下班開車一直聽,所以唱幾遍就可以錄音了,她的版本,聲音又低,唱起來簡直不費吹灰之力。
Lyrics
I don't wanna talk
About things we've gone through
Though it's hurting me
Now, it's history
I've played all my cards
And that's what you've done too
Nothing more to say
No more ace to play
The winner takes it all
The loser's standing small
Beside the victory
That's her destiny
I was in your arms
Thinking I belonged there
I figured it made sense
Building me a fence
Building me a home
Thinking I'd be strong there
But I was a fool
Playing by the rules
The gods may throw a dice
Their minds as cold as ice
And someone way down here
Loses someone dear
The winner takes it all (takes it all)
The loser has to fall (has to fall)
It's simple and it's plain (it's so plain)
Why should I complain? (Why complain?)
But tell me, does she kiss
Like I used to kiss you?
Does it feel the same
When she calls your name?
Somewhere deep inside
You must know I miss you
But what can I say?
Rules must be obeyed
The judges will decide (will decide)
The likes of me abide (me abide)
Spectators of the show (of the show)
Always staying low (staying low)
The game is on again (on again)
A lover or a friend (or a friend)
A big thing or a small (big or small)
The winner takes it all (takes it all)
I don't wanna talk
If it makes you feel sad
And I understand
You've come to shake my hand
I apologize
If it makes you feel bad
Seeing me so tense
No self-confidence, but you see
The winner takes it all
The winner takes it all
So, the winner takes it all
And the loser has to fall
Throw the dice, cold as ice
Way down here, someone dear
Takes it all, has to fall
Yes, it's plain, why complain?
