至愛的經典外語金曲

給關生 Tag 了，要玩選歌遊戲，還要是五首 “我至愛的經典外語金曲”‧但其實怎樣才可以算得上經典，定意在那裡？令我有點頭痛‧挑了一些舊一點的歌曲，是不是至愛？不一定是，只是這個時刻所想起的一些很喜歡歌而已‧排名不分先後‧

1) Ella Fitzgerald – Oh Lady Be Good
Ella 的唱功和地位無可置疑‧喜歡這首歌，是從一句“All dressed up, no place to go”，真的是要多慘有多慘‧但當年我跟朋友是一直的笑著的扮 Ella 唱個歌的‧

Listen to my tale of woe,
It's terribly sad but true,
All dressed up, no place to go
Each ev'ning I'm awf'ly blue.
I must win some handsome guy
Can't go on like this,
I could blossom out I know,
With somebody just like you. so...
Oh, sweet and lovely lady, be good
Oh, lady, be good to me
I am so awf'ly misunderstood
So lady, be good to me
Oh, please have some pity
I'm all alone in this big city
I tell you I'm just a lonesome babe in the wood,
So lady be good to me
Oh lady be good to me

2) Queen - Love of my life
又是慘情歌一首‧好聽不用說，又可能給我哥哥從小薰陶下喜歡這個歌的‧Queen 最記得便是這一首‧

Love of my life you've hurt me
You've broken my heart
And now you leave me
Love of my life can't you see
Bring it back bring it back
Don't take it away from me
Because you don't know
What it means to me
Love of my life don't leave me
You've taken my love you now desert me
Love of my life can't you see
Bring it back bring it back
Don't take it away from me
Because you don't know
What it means to me
You will remember
When this is blown over
And everything's all by the way
When I grow older
I will be there at your side to remind you
How I still love you I still love you
Back hurry back
Please bring it back home to me
Because you don't know
What it means to me
Love of my life
Love of my life


3) Joni Mitchell - A Case Of You
我鐘意她在唱 “I would still be on my feet”‧2000 年她再重新翻唱過此曲，變了弦樂版，像醇酒‧兩個版本我都極愛‧

Just before our love got lost you said
I am as constant as a northern star
And I said, constantly in the darkness
Where's that at?
If you want me I'll be in the bar
On the back of a carton coaster
In the blue TV screen light
I drew a map of Canada
Oh Canada
With your face sketched on it twice
Oh you're in my blood like holy wine
You taste so bitter and so sweet
Oh I could drink a case of you darling
And I would still be on my feet
Oh I would still be on my feet
Oh I am a lonely painter
I live in a box of paints
I'm frightened by the devil
And I'm drawn to those ones that ain't afraid
I remember that time that you told me, you said
Love is touching souls
Surely you touched mine
Cause part of you pours out of me
In these lines from time to time
Oh you're in my blood like holy wine
You taste so bitter and so sweet
Oh I could drink a case of you darling
Still I'd be on my feet
I would still be on my feet
I met a woman
She had a mouth like yours
She knew your life
She knew your devils and your deeds
And she said
Go to him, stay with him if you can
But be prepared to bleed
Oh but you are in my blood you're my holy wine
You're so bitter, bitter and so sweet
Oh I could drink a case of you darling
Still I'd be on my feet
I would still be on my feet

4) Jane Birkin + Serge Gainsbourg - Je T'aime... Moi Non Plus
Jane Birkin 呻吟，Serge Gainsbourg低沈耳語，不能不成經典‧

Je t'aime je t'aime
Oh oui je t'aime
Moi non plus
Oh mon amour
Comme la vague irrésolue
Je vais, je vais et je viens
Entre tes reins
Je vais et je viens
Entre tes reins
Et je me retiens
Je t'aime je t'aime
Oh oui je t'aime
Moi non plus
Oh mon amour
Tu es la vague, moi l'île nue
Tu vas, tu vas et tu viens
Entre mes reins
Tu vas et tu viens
Entre mes reins
Et je te rejoins
Je t'aime je t'aime
Oh oui je t'aime
Moi non plus
Oh mon amour
L'amour physique est sans issue
Je vais je vais et je viens
Entre tes reins
Je vais et je viens
Je me retiens
Non! maintenant viens


5) Yazoo – Only You
相信 Flying Pickets 的翻唱版本比較多人熟識，但我都是鐘愛原裝電子版本‧不知大家記得否，倫伯都唱過此曲的廣東話版，十級驚嚇度‧

Looking from a window above, it’s like a story of love
can you hear me
came back only yesterday
I'm moving further away
want you near me
All I needed was the love you gave
all I needed for another day
and all I ever knew
only you
Sometimes when I think of her name,
when it's only a game
and I need you
listen to the words that you say
it's getting harder to stay
when I see you
All I needed was the love you gave
all I needed for another day
and all I ever knew
only you
This is going to take a long time, and I wonder what's mine
can't take no more
wonder if you'll understand it's just the touch of your hand
behind a closed door
All I needed was the love you gave
all I needed for another day
and all I ever knew
only you

從前歌曲的壽命都比長一點，不像現在的mp3，一兩個星期便會轉另一批歌曲入電話‧經典不經典不重要，不如說是感情分多一點‧

至於要繼續 Tag 其他人嘛，許多都己被 Tag 了，所以...
