兩首好聽的歌

（過去的博文）

《至少還有你》，是我喜歡的一首歌，不僅曲子好聽，歌詞也極好，無論什麽人唱，都能成為情聖。我第一次聽這首歌是張國榮唱的，他生病時嗓子有些嘶啞，但激情所致，金石為開，至今還是我最偏愛的“版本”(同性戀如果都像哥哥，世界豈不更好：－）。不過這首歌是歌手的試金石，誰的水平差，一唱了然。我除了他和林憶蓮的，還真聽不下去。不信試試。

 

蘇格蘭老歌《Loch Lomond》，是我剛來英國時很喜歡的一首歌。NPR上這樣說:"It doesn't happen very often, but once in a while, a song comesalong that remains popular for decades or even centuries. What is it that gives these songs their longlife? Is it an infectious tune? or a simple timeless story thattouches generation after generation?" 

 

背景和歌詞：

至少還有你

 

我怕來不及我要抱著你

直到感覺你的皺紋有了歲月的痕跡

直到肯定你是真的直到失去力氣

為了你我願意

動也不能動也要看著你

直到感覺你的發線有了白雪的痕跡

直到視線變得模糊直到不能呼吸

讓我們形影不離

如果全世界我也可以放棄

至少還有你值得我去珍惜

而你在這裏就是生命的奇跡

也許全世界我也可以忘記

就是不願意失去你的消息

你掌心的痣我總記得在那裏

我怕來不及我要抱著你

直到感覺你的發線有了白雪的痕跡

直到視線變得模糊直到不能呼吸

讓我們形影不離

如果全世界我也可以放棄

至少還有你值得我去珍惜

而你在這裏就是生命的奇跡

也許全世界我也可以忘記

就是不願意失去你的消息

你掌心的痣我總記得在那裏

我們好不容易我們身不由已

我怕時間太快不夠將你看仔細

我怕時間太慢日夜擔心失去你

恨不得一夜之間白頭永不分離

如果全世界我也可以放棄

至少還有你值得我去珍惜

而你在這裏就是生命的奇跡

也許全世界我也可以忘記

就是不願意失去你的消息

你掌心的痣我總記得在那裏

在那裏

Loch Lomond song lyrics and music are famed throughout theworld. Sung by bands such as Runrig, Celtic Horizon,Corries,BeggarsRow and many others. It is a true story of two Jacobites capturedby the English and due to be hanged at Carlisle. Then the EnglishLord decides to set free the unmarried man and hang the married manas an example. The idea was that the free man would tell everyonewhat would happen if they fought for their freedom again. But theJacobite to be hanged said to the other "you take the high road,and I'll take the low road and I'll be in Scotland afore ye" Themeaning of this is that to the Celtic man of Scotland the high roadis the road of the living and the low road is the road of those whohave passed into the spirit world through death. He believed thathe would be with his wife before the free man. (Mel Gibson 的Braveheart 說的大概是那時的事)

 

Loch Lomond

 

By yon bonnie banks and by yon bonnie braes,

Where the sun shines bright on Loch Lomond,

Where me and my true love were ever won't to gae

On the bonnie bonnie banks o' Loch Lomond

 

Chorus

 

O' ye'll tak the high road and  I'll tak thelow road,

And I'll be in Scotland afore ye

But me and my true love  will never meetagain,

On the bonnie bonnie banks o' loch Lomond

 

Twas there that we parted in yon shady glen,

On the steep steep side o' Ben Lomond,

Where in soft purple hue, the Hieland hills we view,

And the moon coming oot in the gloaming.

 

Chorus

 

O' ye'll tak the high road and  I'll take thelow road,

And I'll be in Scotland afore ye

But me and my true love will never meet again,

On the bonnie bonnie banks o' loch Lomond

    

The wee birdies sing, and the wild flowers spring,

And in sunshine the waters are sleeping,

But the broken heart will ken nae second spring again,'

Though the waefu' may cease fae their greeting

 

Chorus

 

O' ye'll tak the high road and  I'll tak thelow road,

And I'll be in Scotland afore ye

But me and my true love  will never meetagain,

On the bonnie bonnie banks o' loch Lomond
