Kenny Rogers(肯尼·羅杰斯)是美國鄉(xiāng)村音樂的頂級大腕。他銀須銀發(fā),風(fēng)度翩翩;他嗓音略為沙啞,高音游刃有余,低音豐富回轉(zhuǎn);他的歌有著鄉(xiāng)村音樂的節(jié)奏,歌詞相當(dāng)壓韻,英語吐字富有彈性,極為勾動人心。聽他的歌,就像是在聽一個經(jīng)歷滄桑、情感豐富的人說感人的故事。
就象歌里所唱:“我發(fā)誓,當(dāng)著天空的星星月亮,我會永遠(yuǎn)伴隨在你身邊!我發(fā)誓,如同守候你的身影,我會永遠(yuǎn)在那里!無論豐腴困厄至死不渝,心跳不息,愛無止盡,我發(fā)誓……”美妙的合聲像云朵聚散,其實那不僅僅只是聲音與聲音的掩映,而是呼吸與心跳的契合,是不經(jīng)意的、無限的享受。
中英歌詞:
I swear
by the moon and the stars in the sky
and i swear
like the shadow that's by your side
i see the questions in your eyes
i know what's weighing on your mind
you can be sure i know my part
'cause i'll stand beside you through the years
you'll only cry those happy tears
and though i make mistakes
i'll never break your heart
and i swear
by the moon and the stars in the sky
i'll be there
i swear
like a shadow that's by your side
i'll be there
for better or worse
till death do us part
i'll love you with every beat of my heart
and i swear, wo..o...o
i'll give you every thing i can
i'll build your dreams with these two hands
we'll hang some memories on the walls
and when ( and when ) just the two of us are there
you won't have to ask if i still care
'cause as the time turns the page
my love won't age at all
and i swear
by the moon and the stars in the sky
i'll be there, i'll be there
i swear
like the shadow that's by your side
i'll be there, i'll be there
for better or worse, till death do us part
i'll love you with every beat of my heart
and i swear
( music )
i swear
by the moon and stars in the sky
i'll be there, i'll be there
i swear
like the shadow that's by your side
i'll be there, i'll be there
for better or worse
till death do us part
i'll love you with every beat of my heart
and i swear, i swear, oh i swear
我發(fā)誓,當(dāng)著夜空中的明月和繁星
我發(fā)誓,會像影子一般永遠(yuǎn)伴隨你
我看到你眼中的疑惑
我知道你在多想什么
你可以確信我知道自己的角色
因為這些年華我會在你身邊
你只會流下幸福的淚水
盡管我可能會犯一些錯
但我永遠(yuǎn)不會傷你的心
不管怎樣
直到面臨死亡
我對你的愛 伴隨著每一次的心跳
我發(fā)誓…
我會給你所有我能給的
我會用這雙手搭建你的夢想
我們會把一些回憶掛在墻上
當(dāng)我們在一起的時候
你不需問我是否還在意
因為盡管時間一頁頁的翻去
我的愛卻一點都不會老去
我發(fā)誓…
