这首歌其实我还没听过。以前不知道,今天在别处看到介绍安卡的帖子,其中有这首歌的歌词,挺喜欢,就把那帖子转过来与大家共享。
ZT ------- 我行我路,边走边唱
保罗•安卡(Paul Anka)又来德国开演唱会了。两年前的5月,他的歌声也曾回荡在波恩展览馆长街。
67岁,对于歌手来说是一个可怕的年纪。但安卡是一位行吟诗人,我行我路,边走边唱。当他还是一个少不更事的孩子的时候,就因暗恋比自己年长的女子写下《戴安娜》( Diana ),结果一曲成名,从此踏上不归路。
比艺术天赋更为难得的是安卡生就一双识人的慧眼。他为巴迪•霍利(Buddy Holly)量身定做的《不再介意》(It Doesn’t Matter Anymore)在后者飞机失事之后成为千古绝唱。而英国歌王汤姆•琼斯 (Tom Jones)的经典曲目《她是一位女士》(She’s a Lady)同样出自安卡手笔。但最为人所津津乐道的莫过于力挽弗兰克•西纳特拉(Frank Sinatra)颓势的那首《我的方式》(My Way)。
40年前,美国乐坛的传奇人物、奥斯卡影星西纳特拉已经53岁了,巅峰已过,倦意渐生。也许出于共同的爱好和相似的经历,他与安卡结下忘年交好。一天,正在佛罗里达拍片的西纳特拉来看安卡演出,对他说:“孩子,我要退出,太烦了!未来是你的……”
那天深夜,安卡开始为法国曲子《Comme d'habitude》填词,就像西纳特拉在向他倾诉,整首歌在凌晨五时自然流淌而出。
《My Way》旋律优美,歌词恳切而坚定,总结了西纳特拉的人生道路,由其低沉嗓音演绎,貌似漫不经心,内心深情无限。
附:《My Way》歌词:
And now, the end is near;
现在,我的末日将近,
And so I face the final curtain.
面临人生的最后落幕,
My friend, I'll say it clear,
我的朋友,我要说个清楚,
I'll state my case, of which I'm certain.
向你讲述我的人生之路。
I've lived a life that's full.
我活过一个充实的人生,
I've traveled each and every highway;
我经历过每一段路途,
And more, much more than this,
而更重要的是,
I did it my way.
我用自己的方式。
Regrets, I've had a few;
遗憾,也有一些吧,
But then again, too few to mention.
算不上多,不值一提。
I did what I had to do
我做了该做的一切,
And saw it through without exemption.
洞悉世事,不求赦免。
I planned each charted course;
我规划过每一段人生,
Each careful step along the by way,
每一个细微的脚步,
and more, much more than this,
而更重要的是,
I did it my way.
我用自己的方式。
Yes, there were times, I'm sure you knew
是的,你知道有些时候,
When I bit off more than I could chew.
我曾背负不能承受之重,
But through it all, when there was doubt,
但自始至终,就算充满疑惑,
I ate it up and spit it out.
我还是克服困难战胜了它。
I faced it all and I stood tall;
我挺直身躯,勇敢面对,
And did it my way.
用我自己的方式。
I’ve loved, I’ve laughed and cried.
我曾经爱过,笑过,哭过,
I’ve had my fill; my share of losing.
我曾经满足,也曾经失落,
And now, as tears subside,
现在,当泪水慢慢沉淀,
I find it all so amusing.
我发现原来可以一笑置之。
To think I did all that;
想到我所做过的一切,
And may I say - not in a shy way,
我可以说,毫不羞愧地说,
No, oh no not me,
我没有虚度,
I did it my way.
我用自己的方式。
For what is a man, what has he got?
男人究竟是什么,拥有什么?
If not himself, then he has naught.
除了自己,我们一无所有。
To say the things he truly feels;
说出心里最真实的感受,
And not the words of one who kneels.
而不是那些言不由衷的话。
The record shows I took the blows -
时间证明,我经受住了磨难,
And did it my way!
用我自己的方式!
Yes, it was my way.
没错,这就是我的方式。
很喜欢这歌词 可惜我现在上班,没法去找歌来听。桐梓们有办法上网找的拜托楼下贴一下。先谢啦~~~
