有幸收集到三个不同版本的 And I Love You So. 自觉这三个版本居然各有千秋, 不分上下, 从青葱时刻, 人到中年 到晚霞黄昏, 声声句句, 都描绘出思念, 苦恋 和最后对人生的感悟…
齐豫的版本, 忧郁委婉, 唱出那份苦恋和得不到的痛苦. 在这首歌里, 她的英文可以说是几乎毫无癖疵, 尤其是那句 and yes I know, how lonely life can be, 让人跟随她柔婉的长音, 进入那恋爱中的女子的绵绵的思绪…
Don McLean的版本好像就有了些中年人对生活的理解和感激. 听他的and I don't let the evening bring me down, 给我的感觉是, “痛已经痛过了,可是我还是要去继续寻觅, 因为爱是值得用任何的代价去取得”…非常喜欢他的Starry Starry Night, 堪称是经典中的经典..
Perry Como则唱出了一个丰盛人生的黄昏时刻和回首往事,无怨无悔的感觉…是啊, 爱来过了, 爱又走去了, 可是我还是我… 我曾渴望那有爱的时刻, 也同样珍惜过那失去爱的孤独, 这些都构成了我这辉煌的一生…
所谓人生, 是不是就是自己个人对这个世界的感觉? 别人可以偶尔当成镜子, 从他人-- 朋友, 亲属, 你爱的和爱你的人的眼里看到自己. 可是, 那最真实的, 最长久的感觉, 还是自己内心的一点点的感动, 那当失去所有东西以后仍然感觉到这个世界的可爱时候的感觉, 那孤冷凄清时刻的心的颤动…
我们为什么要有朋友, 要去相爱, 要去爱人--我们是不是在逃避, 想逃避去面对那个真实自己的时刻, 那个让灵魂无所遁形的空间, 那个即使是暗夜, 也不能够掩饰的孤独?
And, yes, my darling,
I know, I know, I know…..
I know how loveless life can be…
But do you know
How lonely life has been?
我是如此地爱妳
And I love you so
The people ask me how
How I've lived till now
I tell them I don't know
I guess they understand
How lonely life has been
But life began again
The day you took my hand
And yes I know how lonely life can be
The shadows follow me
And the night won't set me free
But I don't let the evening get me down
Now that you're around me
And you love me too
Your thoughts are just for me
You set my spirit free
I'm happy that you do
The book of life is brief
And once a page is read
All but love is dead
That is my believe
And yes I know how loveless life can be
The shadows follow me
And the night won't set me free
And I don't let the evening bring me down
Now that you're around me
And I love you so
The people ask me how
How I've lived till now
I tell them...I don't know
