最早听见“后来”这首歌不记得是什么时候，只记得是刘若英唱的，除此之外没有什么特别的感觉，直到听了许乐和陈洁丽的版本后，才吃了一惊，原来这首歌可以唱得这么优美动听啊！于是对这首歌的兴趣大增，一时兴起，找来了这歌的介绍才知道刘若英并不是这首歌的原唱，原曲是一首日本歌，名叫“向着未来”，由Kiroro 演唱组的主唱玉城千春作曲，Kiroro 演唱。中文版由施人诚填词，王继康编曲，刘若英翻唱。
刘若英版与Kiroro比较接近，独唱和伴奏的音色都比较单一，有时会觉得伴奏有点喧兵夺主了。但是许乐和陈洁丽版异常的惊艳，许乐是“八只眼”演唱组第3声部男中音，他的音色醇厚；陈洁丽是“青燕子”主唱，音色柔美，他们俩的对唱产生了一种非常悦耳的效果。伴奏也相当的厉害，就是一把吉他和一把小提琴，时隐时现，不喧兵夺主，恰到好处地衬托着，当女声唱到“我低下头闻见一阵芬芳”时，小提琴声响起，似乎真的带出了一阵清香，令人心驰神往。。。太喜欢这个版本了，男女声和伴奏浑然一体，好美好美的享受，怎么都听不够。
我还找到了瑞典歌星Sofia Kallgren 翻唱的英文版，也非常喜欢。Sofia音色圆润，吐字清晰，伴奏的大提琴和钢琴与许乐陈洁丽版有相似之处，这版也很美，喜欢。
最让我惊叹的是英文版的翻译，整首歌的英文翻译十分优美，附录于下。 把歌名“后来”翻译成“Oh Life”，是音译又不全是，意译也靠谱，没话说，给一个大大的赞！这让我想起了不知在哪里看见有人把中国的“四大发明”翻成“Star Farming”，让我乐了半天，当然这个是搞笑了:)
请来马友友为这贴站台，每一版之后由马友友的琴声来做间奏曲，伴随着这首歌从日文到中文再到英文的转化，为这首歌的欣赏锦上添花。

“后来” 英语版歌词
Oh life, the wonders that you bring
The beauty I can see
That I keep deep inside of me
Oh life，I feel that I can breathe again
In a world where love will still remain
Choose your words, make them wise
Many things have brought us where we are
I am here, here with you
Close your eyes, let love heal the sorrow
Once again I feel alive
I'm sure of this inside
And I need you more than ever
Life's taught me so much more
Feel stronger than before
Hope this feeling stays here forever
Long ago I was blind
I thought love was always here to stay
But we walked away
And we said good bye
Even though I knew I loved you still
Suddenly you were gone
And she was in your arms
It's a picture I remember
I was lost, could not be saved
My life just ran away
I only wish that we could start over
But true love will find its way
Now a love is here to stay
I lost it once
And now I found a way to live again
Oh life, the wonders that you bring
The beauty I can see
That I keep deep inside of me
Oh life，I feel that I can breathe again
In a world where love will still remain
But true love will find its way
Now a love is here to stay
I lost it once
And now I found a way to live again
Oh life, the wonders that you bring
The beauty I can see
That I keep deep inside of me
Oh life，I feel that I can breathe again
In a world where love will still remain
Oh life, the wonders that you bring
The beauty I can see
That I keep deep inside of me
Oh life，I feel that I can breathe again
In a world where love will still remain
In a world where love will still remain
