【英文歌曲】Green Eyes

Song: Green Eyes Artist: Jimmy Dorsey Orchestra, Helen O'Connell and Bob Eberly Well, Green Eyes with their soft lights Your eyes that promise sweet nights, Bring to my soul a longing, a thirst for love divine In dreams I seem to hold you, to find you and enfold you Our lips meet and our hearts, too, with a thrill so sublime Those cool and limpid Green Eyes A pool wherein my love lies So deep that in my searching for happiness I fear that they will ever haunt me All through my life they'll taunt me But will they ever want me? (Male voice) Green Eyes, make my dreams come true. (Female voice) Green Eyes, I love you.

Green Eyes From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia "Green Eyes" is a popular song, originally written in Spanish under the title "Aquellos Ojos Verdes" ("Those Green Eyes") by Adolfo Utrera and Nilo Menéndez. The English translation was made by Eddie Rivera and Eddie Woods in 1929. The English version of the song was a hit for the Jimmy Dorsey orchestra. The recording was made on March 19, 1941 with vocals by Helen O'Connell and Bob Eberly and released by Decca Records as catalog number 3698. The flip side was "Maria Elena." The record first reached the Billboard charts on May 9, 1941 and lasted 21 weeks on the chart, peaking at #1. [1] Since "Maria Elena" was also a #1 hit, this was a major double-sided hit recording. Gloria Jean sang the Spanish lyrics to "Aquellos Ojos Verdes" in the 1943 film, When Johnny Comes Marching Home. Ben Affleck also sang the Spanish version, in the 2006 film, Hollywoodland, in pivotal scenes just prior to the fatal shooting of his character, George Reeves. R&B group, the Ravens, had regional success with a 1955 revival. Allan Sherman recorded a version titled "Green Stamps", a parody of S&H Green Stamps. During the recording session (according to the liner notes on the album), Sherman had a talk with the college types who hadn't heard of "Green Eyes." He said it was, like the Bossa Nova, once a red-hot tune by Helen O'Connell. He asked, "Any of you remember red-hot Helen O'Connell?" (About half did.)
