二年級課程有一大單元談到爵士樂,那麼在樂界稱得上大師的恐怕非蓋希文莫屬喔!!!這次老師挑出這首蓋希文(Gershwin)的爵士名曲Someone to watch over me是延續之前blog的文章~ 1996春風化雨Mr. Holland`s Opus——生命因你而動聽所接續的第2段主題之一的作品!!此曲柔情中帶著對愛情的堅毅,由管弦樂團伴奏,歌詞具體而深刻的描繪且由歌者將內心的渴望由音樂傳遞出訊息,老師覺得完全展現出蓋希文不同於以往的作品風格~~~與大家分享囉!!!
老師超愛此曲~~目前自己寫譜打算自彈自唱並在課堂上介紹給大家囉~
There’s a saying old, says that love is blind
Still we’re often told, "seek and ye shall find"
So I’m going to seek a certain lad I’ve had in mind
Looking everywhere, haven’t found him yet
He’s the big affair I cannot forget
Only man I ever think of with regret
I’d like to add his initial to my monogram
Tell me, where is the shepherd for this lost lamb?
There’s a somebody I’m longin’ to see
I hope that he, turns out to be
Someone who’ll watch over me
I’m a little lamb who’s lost in the wood
I know I could, always be good
To one who’ll watch over me
Although he may not be the man
some girls think of as handsome
to my heart he carries the key
Won’t you tell him please to put on some speed
Follow my lead, oh, how I need
Someone to watch over me
(bridge)
Won’t you tell him please to put on some speed
Follow my lead, oh, how I need
Someone to watch over me
Someone to watch over me
俗語有句話說:愛情是盲目的
亦輒說:"精誠所至,金石為開!"
於此,我要尋覓這一位已然在我心的女孩
環顧四週,我尚未尋獲她
她是如此的重要,我無法忘懷
這唯一令我經常感到遺憾的女孩
我欲將她名冠上我的姓 (願娶她為妻)
告訴我,指引這迷途羔羊的牧羊女在哪裡
這裡有個我欲尋已找的人
我願她能在我面前出現
一位將會呵護照顧我的人
我是一隻迷失在森林中的羔羊
我知道我能夠永遠溫馴
──向那將會呵護照顧我的人
雖然我不是女孩心中的白馬王子
但我握有她心房之鑰
請你告訴她:請加緊腳步,跟隨我的引領
噢!我多麼渴望有人來呵護我
