愛他的理由 + 歌曲 Because the night

我的一位閨蜜級別的美國朋友終於打算婚了，每次跟她通電話她都興奮得了不得。有一天我們總算有時間一起吃飯，等上菜的時候我問她：他到底哪方麵最招你愛呀？她想了片刻，列出了三點理由：1. 他很誠實，不善於、也不屑於撒慌； 2. He is a good kisser。3. He is good in bed.

我聽了當然是直樂。要說我這位朋友的未婚夫，我也認識。在我眼裏，他的優點可是大大地有：為人禮貌熱情，學曆工作具佳，又能幹又勤勞，會自己修車，裝修房子，陪女朋友逛商店超有耐心。。。我特佩服我這朋友的是，這些別人一目了然的優點她一個都沒提。她說的那三點理由外人基本上沒法了解，是真正屬於她自己的。不是說婚姻象鞋子嗎？她沒有誇這鞋多時髦多漂亮多讓人羨慕，而是說這鞋子合腳、舒適，自己穿上怎麽看怎麽舒心。這才是真正懂鞋子的人哪。

還沒等我在心裏感慨完，我朋友開始問我當時是怎麽看上我家那位了。媽呀，這個問題太難回答了，我可找不出比她說的那三點更不落俗套的理由。再說，雖然我跟她很熟，說話也沒法那麽豪邁呀。最後隻好借用周星星的名言反問：愛一個人需要理由麽？

說真的，有時候我讀到以類似“愛他/她的十個理由”為標題的文章，就忍不住想，愛情這個事，有那麽複雜嗎？又有那麽簡單嗎？。。。

好，按老規矩，給大家介紹一首英文歌曲。Because the night 是搖滾歌手Bruce Springsteen 創作於七十年代，由Patti Smith唱紅的。這首歌曲後來又有很多人翻唱過。我最喜歡的版本是樂隊10000 maniacs改編並現場翻唱的版本。歌裏說：愛情是我們共同分享的盛宴。。。愛情是化身為情欲的天使。。。因為今夜屬於相愛的情侶。 Happy V-Day every one!

歌詞：

Take me now, baby, here as I am
Hold me close, n' try n' understand
Desire is hunger in the fire I breathe
Love is a banquet on which we feed

C'mon now, try n' understand
The way I feel under your command
Take my hand, as the sun descends
They can't hurt you now, can't hurt you now, can't hurt you now...

Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to us
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to us

Have I doubt, baby, when I'm alone
Love is a ring, on the telephone
Love is an angel disguised as lust
Here in our bed 'til the morning comes

C'mon now, try n' understand
The way I feel under your command
Take my hand, as the sun descends
They can't hurt you now, can't hurt you now, can't hurt you now...

Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to us
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to us

With love we sleep
with doubt the vicious circle turns, and burns
Without you, I cannot live,
forgive the yearning burning
I believe in love too real to feel,
take me now, take me now, take me now

Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to us
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to us
