歌手:艾裏克·克萊普頓
曲名:Tears in Heaven
1991年,克萊普頓4歲的兒子由於保姆的不慎意外墜樓身亡,這個打擊幾乎讓他一蹶不振。從此他寄情於音樂,用不間斷的創作緩解難以負荷的傷痛。是首歌就是為他死去的兒子創作的,獲1993年格萊美獎的6項大獎。這是那種乍聽平平,然而越聽越有味道的歌曲。波瀾不驚之下掩蓋著的是怎樣的一種哀情風暴。
如果我在天堂見到你,
你還會記得我嗎?
如果我在天堂和你重逢,
你是否還是從前的模樣?
我要走下去,我要堅強,
我知道,我不屬於天堂。
如果我在天堂見到你,
你會拉著我的手嗎?
如果我在天堂和你重逢,
你是能否扶我站穩當?
我要熬過世上每一天,
我知道,我不能活在天上
時間能毀滅一切,
時間會讓人低頭,
時間會把心揉碎,
時間能讓你跪求
·····
天堂的門裏,應該沒有悲傷
天堂的門裏,眼淚不再流淌
而我要走下去,我要堅強,
我知道,我不屬於天堂。
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.
