【E詩E歌E決心】Summer Wine——by Lucy & Audrey

Covered by Lucy & Audrey

"Summer Wine" is a song written by Lee Hazlewood. It was originally sung by Suzi Jane Hokom and Lee Hazlewood in 1966, but it was made famous by Nancy Sinatra and Lee Hazlewood in 1967. The Nancy & Lee version was originally released on Sinatra's Nancy in London album in late 1966 and later as the B-side of her "Sugar Town" single in December 1966. The song itself became a hit, reaching #49 on Billboard's Hot 100 chart in April 1967. It also reached #14 in Australia. In early 1968, "Summer Wine" was included on Sinatra and Hazlewood's album of duets, Nancy & Lee LP. It was the first of Sinatra and Hazlewood's string hit duets.

In May 2017, retail clothier, H&M, used Nancy & Lee's version in their "The Summer Shop 2017" ad campaign and as a result, the track debuted at #1 on Billboard magazine and Clio's Top TV Commercials chart for May 2017.

Lyrically, "Summer Wine" describes a man, voiced by Hazlewood, who meets a woman, Sinatra, who notices his silver spurs and invites him to have wine with her. After heavy drinking, the man awakens hungover to find his spurs and money have been stolen by the mysterious woman......

《Summer Wine》是在60年代由Lee Hazelwood作曲，Nancy Sinatra、Lee Hazelwood演唱的一首歌曲。從歌詞的隱喻看，並不是很好（請自行查詢Wikipedia^_^），但受到許多DJ的追捧，也被多次翻唱，包括The Corrs樂隊的Andrea和U2樂隊的Bono兩人的合唱（The Corrs featuring Bono ，on the 2002 live album VH1 Presents: The Corrs, Live in Dublin）。故流傳至今，是一首經典老歌。

 

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 lets pass some time

And I will give to you summer wine

Ohh-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

Ohhh-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

Ohh-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

Ohh-oh-oh summer wine

When I woke up the sun was shining in my eyes

My silver spurs were gone my head felt twice its size

She took my silver spurs a dollar and a dime

And left me cravin' for more summer wine

Ohh-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

Ohh-oh-oh summer wine

 

順便提一下， Nancy Sinatra的父親是好萊塢五鼠黨之一的外號“瘦皮猴”的法蘭克辛納屈拉（Frank Sinatra），他與黑手黨的淵源頗深，後來也真的曾經獲得過奧斯卡，同時他也是一位超級歌星。
