No Doubt樂團 Don't speak!
"Don't Speak"
You and me
We used to be together
Everyday together always
I really feel
That I'm losing my best friend
I can't believe
This could be the end
It looks as though you're letting go
And if it's real
Well I don't want to know
Don't speak
I know just what you're saying
So please stop explaining
Don't tell me cause it hurts
Don't speak
I know what you're thinking
I don't need your reasons
Don't tell me cause it hurts
Our memories
Well, they can be inviting
But some are altogether
Mighty frightening
As we die, both you and I
With my head in my hands
I sit and cry
Don't speak
I know just what you're saying
So please stop explaining
Don't tell me cause it hurts (no, no, no)
Don't speak
I know what you're thinking
I don't need your reasons
Don't tell me cause it hurts
It's all ending
I gotta stop pretending who we are...
You and me I can see us dying...are we?
Don't speak
I know just what you're saying
So please stop explaining
Don't tell me cause it hurts (no, no, no)
Don't speak
I know what you're thinking
I don't need your reasons
Don't tell me cause it hurts
Don't tell me cause it hurts!
I know what you're saying
So please stop explaining
Don't speak,
don't speak,
don't speak,
oh I know what you're thinking
And I don't need your reasons
I know you're good,
I know you're good,
I know you're real good
Oh, la la la la la la La la la la la la
Don't, Don't, uh-huh Hush, hush darlin'
Hush, hush darlin' Hush, hush
don't tell me tell me cause it hurts
Hush, hush darlin' Hush, hush darlin'
Hush, hush don't tell me tell me cause it hurts

The Christmas Shoes
叮叮噹~ 叮叮噹~
韶光飛逝，轉眼聖誕節又到囉~
不知道大家是不是都安排節目了?
今年我必須在實驗室過聖誕節啦
希望大家都能玩得愉快~
之前寄的聖誕歌曲都是耳熟能詳的名曲了，
Jingle Bells啦 Last Chritmas之類的.
這次要分享一首不太一樣的聖誕歌曲，
編曲上也沒有刻意放進一些聖誕節的元素，
甚至可以說 沒什麼傳統聖誕節歌曲的歡樂氣氛!
我是今年才第一次聽到這首歌，或許有些人聽過了吧?
到下面這個網址可以看到中文字幕的MV
歌曲的中文翻譯也是引用自此

====================================================
“The Christmas Shoes”
(作詞作曲演唱:Newsong)
It was almost Christmas time, there I stood in another line
當時聖誕節快到了，我記得我正在收銀台前排隊
Tryin' to buy that last gift or two, not really in the Christmas mood
想去買最後一兩個禮物，也不真的有耶誕心情
Standing right in front of me was a little boy waiting anxiously
排在我前面的是個小男孩，看的出來他等得很焦急
Pacing 'round like little boys do
就像是個小男孩那樣的來回踱步
And in his hands he held a pair of shoes
在他手裡，捧著一雙鞋
His clothes were worn and old, he was dirty from head to toe
他穿的衣服破爛老舊，從頭到腳都汙穢不堪
And when it came his time to pay
輪到他付錢時
I couldn't believe what I heard him say
聽到他所說的話，我真是不敢相信
Sir, I want to buy these shoes for my Mama, please
先生，麻煩你，我想買這雙鞋給我媽媽
It's Christmas Eve and these shoes are just her size
今晚是聖誕夜，這雙鞋剛好是她的尺寸
Could you hurry, sir, Daddy says there's not much time
先生，可不可以請你快一點？爸爸說，時間不多了
You see she's been sick for quite a while
是這樣子的，她已經病了好一陣子
And I know these shoes would make her smile
而我知道這雙鞋會讓她微笑
And I want her to look beautiful if Mama meets Jesus tonight
我希望媽媽看起來很美麗，如果今晚她就要和上帝碰面
He counted pennies for what seemed like years
他數銅板數了好久
Then the cashier said, "Son, there's not enough here"
那個收銀員卻說：「小朋友，這些錢還不夠。」
He searched his pockets frantically
他發瘋似的找遍了口袋
Then he turned and he looked at me
然後他轉過身，看著我
He said Mama made Christmas good at our house Though most years she just did without
他說，媽媽總讓家裡度過很棒的聖誕節，雖然在過去幾年裡，我們什麼也沒有
Tell me Sir, what am I going to do,
先生，請你告訴我，我該怎麼做
Somehow I've got to buy her these Christmas shoes
不管如何，我都要買這雙鞋給她做為聖誕禮物
So I laid the money down, I just had to help him out
所以我拿出錢放在桌上，只覺得一定得幫助他
I'll never forget the look on his face when he said
我永遠不會忘記他臉上的表情，當他說
Mama's gonna look so great
媽媽穿起來一定會很漂亮！
Sir, I want to buy these shoes for my Mama, please
先生，麻煩你，我想買這雙鞋給我媽媽
It's Christmas Eve and these shoes are just her size
今晚是聖誕夜，而這雙鞋剛好是她的尺寸
Could you hurry, sir, Daddy says there's not much time
先生，可不可以請你快一點？爸爸說，時間不多了
You see she's been sick for quite a while
是這樣的，她已經病了好一陣子
And I know these shoes would make her smile
而我知道這雙鞋會讓她微笑
And I want her to look beautiful if Mama meets Jesus tonight
我希望媽媽看起來很美麗，如果今晚她就要和上帝碰面
I knew I'd caught a glimpse of heaven's love
我知道我瞥見了來自天堂的愛
As he thanked me and ran out
當他對我說謝謝然後跑開時
I knew that God had sent that little boy
我知道上帝派了這個小男孩來
To remind me just what Christmas is all about
提醒我：聖誕節的真諦
======================================================
歌詞所描述的故事，你我也許看過不少相似的網路文章，
透過這首歌單純的旋律與歌聲，更能讓人想起些"似曾相識"吧!
看著這首歌的MV，
我想起了當初我妹為了做化療而把一頭秀髮理光，
吊著大小點滴躺在殺菌燈照射下的病床，那面如槁木、毫無血色的面容...
為此我們家人都不知躲在加護病房外面哭過幾回了。
還好我妹後來有順利康復!
真是萬幸
分享這首歌曲給大家
也許能在大家吃著大餐、歡度佳節的同時
為大家增添一點溫馨特別的聖誕氣氛
祝福我的朋友們都能有個快樂的聖誕節
Merry Christmas

And I am telling you, I'm not going
兩個小女孩較勁版
And I am telling you, I'm not going
上次分享的是原唱Jennifer Holiday與電影版Jennifer Hudson 雙Jennifer的比較
http://jazzerliu.blogspot.com/2007/07/and-i-am-telling-you.html
其實我第一次聽到這首歌是先聽到影片裡的第一個小女孩Bianca Ryan唱的版本
以十一歲的年紀來說 能唱到這樣的程度已經讓人十分驚豔了
只不過 真的是人外有人天外有天呀
最近在網路上又出現了超神人等級的小女孩
十三歲的菲律賓小女孩Charice Pempengco
Bianca Ryan的表現 說實在以這樣的年紀來說已經是數一數二了
而Charice Pempengco的表現 根本就是開外掛作弊嘛!!!
不要說年紀相近的Bianca Ryan遠遠不是對手
大概線上歌手能與之匹敵的 大概也屈指可數吧
從影片裡面就可以明顯看出Bianca Ryan雖然有著不錯的歌唱技巧
但還是能聽出其中的生澀之處，聲音沒有什麼厚度
開頭太用力，到後半段其實曝露出氣不足的缺點
相較之下，Charice不但技巧純熟而且聲音渾厚足可與黑人相比
中氣飽滿，唱完這樣一首高難度的歌曲，在最後還能飆一段高音
那種神色自若、輕鬆自在的樣子，真讓人佩服不已呀
Youtube裡還可以搜尋到一些她挑戰高難度歌曲的影片
連Whitney Houston經典名曲都詮釋的很棒呢

魏如萱單飛出輯 砸百萬印試聽片
時報資訊 更新日期:2007/11/01 09:50 記者:【林家芬／台北報導】
「自然捲」樂團女主唱「娃娃」最近將以本名「魏如萱」發行個人專輯《甜蜜密活》。她
把簽約金將近100萬元全部拿出來，印製10萬張免費試聽片，在誠品、金石堂、玫瑰大眾
提供歌迷索取。
魏如萱出身的「自然捲」樂團，曾發行過2張專輯，清新甜美的嗓音是她的招牌。前年
自然捲入圍金曲獎「最佳樂團」等3項重要獎項，及獲得中華音樂人交流協會年度十大專
輯，突如其來的盛名造成她壓力過大，聲音沙啞險些失聲。後來看了很多醫生還是沒改善
，她決定離開自然捲，「放空」之後，今年以個人名義出輯。
魏如萱的妹妹魏如昀，則在第2屆「超級星光大道」入圍最後10強。魏如昀最近在自己
部落格裡，發起部落格貼紙大串連活動，讓網友免費試聽新歌。

Every Breath You Take/The Police
Every Breath You Take/The Police
Lyrics:Sting Music:Sting
Every breath you take
And every move you make
Every bond you break, every step you take
I'll be watching you
Every single day
And every word you say
Every game you play, every night you stay
I'll be watching you
Oh, can't you see
You belong to me?
How my poor heart aches
With every step you take
Every move you make
Every vow you break
Every smile you fake, every claim you stake
I'll be watching you
Since you've gone I've been lost without a trace
I dream at night, I can only see your face
I look around, but it's you I can't replace
I feel so cold, and I long for your embrace
I keep crying baby, baby please,
Oh, can't you see
You belong to me?
How my poor heart aches
With every step you take
Every move you make
Every vow you break
Every smile you fake, every claim you stake
I'll be watching you
Every move you make, every step you take
I'll be watching you
I'll be watching you

英國敘事民謠 House Carpenter
上大學也不過才三年 我也才21歲耶！
身邊就一堆人都結婚了
從學弟、同學朋友到同年紀的親戚
怎麼大家都這麼早婚呀？
該不會再過個幾年 我就成了唯一還沒結婚的那一個吧？
因此個人做了個小小的無聊實驗(可看我平常生活多無聊...)
什麼實驗呢？
找了幾個平常比較少在連絡的朋友 告訴他們 我結婚了！！！
結果7個人裡面
有5個人打死不信 1個當沒聽到 1個抱持懷疑的態度
怎麼？ 我就是長得一副不可能早婚的樣子 是吧！？
另外呢
從這些已經結婚的人身上 也讓我學到一個有趣的道理
“會說自己不想結婚的朋友 常常是最早步入禮堂的那幾個”
裡面有幾個人明明說不結婚的呀 怎麼通通都結婚啦？
不知道是昏了頭 還是因為搞出了人命？
這就不得而知了
廢話說完 該說說這次分享的曲子了
英國古典民謠 House Carpenter
是屬於民謠中的敘事民謠
所謂敘事民謠 顧名思義就是用來描述事情的民謠
可以是述說一段歷史、一場戰役
也常常是先民刻苦墾荒的那段艱辛
(台灣民謠思想起就是此類的經典作品)
描寫愛情的作品更是不計其數
而這首House Carpenter所描述的 則是一個悲慘的故事
故事的大意:
兩位曾經相愛過的昔日戀人又邂逅了，
男人對女人說，本來我可以娶國王的女兒，
只因為對你的愛，我捨棄了她的皇冠，
現在離開你的木匠吧，跟我去鄉間海邊。
女人留下了孩子離開了木匠，隨著戀人而去。
在海中的船上他們呆了不到三周時，
女人想起孩子開始悲歎憂傷的哭泣與詛咒，
女人說報應啊報應。
不到第四周，船出現裂縫後沉了下去再也沒有起來。
我自己平常也是很少聽民謠類的音樂
不過聽到這首民謠的時候
卻深深地被它曲子裡流露出的哀傷吸引
就拿出來分享給大家
這首民謠有很多種版本 連歌詞也幾個版本
其他的版本有很多是用傳統民謠的方式唱的
也有用世界音樂編曲方式的版本
不過 傳統民謠的版本比較難接受
(就像你們不會想聽思想起一樣)
世界音樂的版本又失去原本民謠的味道
所以就不分享其他的版本了 有興趣的再找我要
分享給大家的這一個版本
編曲上很樸實簡潔 自然而隨意
就像是歐洲過去的吟遊詩人一樣
抱著吉它一路吟唱
用簡單的言語敘說平淡樸實的故事。
歌詞只找到一個翻譯得不是很好的版本
本來自己試著重翻 不過失敗了...
後來請一個讀外文系的朋友幫忙
他說了一句蠻有意思的話 要翻的有味道 很難翻
好吧 放棄 還是很感謝這個朋友的幫忙
只好附上翻譯得不是很好的版本給大家(我自己稍微修過)
希望能幫大家感受一下歌詞裡的哀傷
"House Carpenter" By NICKEL CREEK
Well met, well met, said an old true love
Well met, well met, said he
I've just returned from the salt, salt sea
And it's all for the love of thee
Come in, come in, my own true love
And have a seat by me
Its been three-fourths of a long, long year
Since together we have been
I can't come in and I can't sit down
For I've only a moments time
They say you're married to a house carpenter
And your heart will never be mine
I could've married the kings daughter fair
And she would've married me
But I have forsaken, her crowns of gold
And it's all for the love of thee
Now will you forsake your house carpenter
And come along with me
I'll take you where, the grass grows green
On the banks of the deep blue sea
Then she picked up her darling little babe
And kisses she gave it three
Saying stay right here my darling little babe
And keep your pop company
They had not been on the ship two weeks
I'm sure it was not three
Til this true love began to weep and to mourn
And she wept most bitterly
Saying are you weeping for my silver and my gold?
Saying are you weeeping for my store?
Or are you weeping, for your house carpenter
Whose face you'll never see no more?
A curse, a curse to the sailor, she cried
A curse, a curse, she swore
You robbed me of the darling little babe
That I shall never see no more
They had not been on the ship three weeks
I'm sure it was not four
When there came a leak, in the bottom of the ship
And sank them for to rise no more
“美妙的邂逅，美妙的邂逅。”傳唱著一段古老真摯的愛情
“美妙的邂逅，美妙的邂逅，”他說。
“我剛從鹽海回來,只因為對你的愛”
“進來，進來，我的真愛 依偎在我的身邊
自從我們分開後的這段時光如此漫長”
“我不能進來，不能坐下 我只能停留片刻光陰
人們說你嫁給了木匠 你的心再也不屬於我”
“我本來可以娶國王的女兒 而她也願意嫁給我
但我捨棄了她的皇冠 只因為對你的愛”
“現在 你願意離開你的木匠 陪伴在我身旁嗎？
我會帶你 到茂綠的鄉間 去蔚藍的海邊”
她抱起可愛的嬰兒 吻了又吻
“我親愛的孩子，留在這兒，與你的父親做伴”
他們在船上待了不到兩個星期 絕不滿三個星期
他的戀人開始悲嘆、憂傷 傷心欲絕地哭泣
“你在為我失去的財富 為我失去的店鋪
還是在為你那再也見不著面的木匠哭泣？”
“詛咒，對水手的詛咒，”她哭著說
“報應，報應，”她詛咒著
“你從我親愛的孩子身邊將我擄走，我再也見不到孩子了。”
他們在船上待了不到三個星期 絕不滿四個星期
船底出現了裂痕 將一切沉沒了 再也沒有出現過

Jazzer 聖誕節選曲
今晚去聽了三校聯合耶誕晚會 心情還不錯呢
寫封信跟大家說聲 聖誕快樂
(雖然我明天要考重要的試....不想讀呀...)
看完請來留個言吧
叮叮噹 叮叮噹
先來首 Jingle Bells
http://0rz.net/790Wk
右鍵另存下載
傳統的耶誕節歌曲就這一首而已
既然今年我還是一個人過節
當然是要照顧和我一樣單身的人
所以我接下來分享的歌送給單身的朋友們
聖誕節就乖乖在家聽音樂囉
少出門 才不用接受刺眼閃光彈的攻擊呀
(今晚的晚會就已經到處都是閃光彈了.......我瞎了....)
====================================================================
Last Christmas
我知道這首歌各位在這幾天聽到爛了啦
我Jazzer何許人也
會分享太常聽的版本給大家嗎？
相信前兩年 大家一定看過下面這個flash動畫
http://bagacow.myweb.hinet.net/sound/dingani_13.swf
對其中“活潑版”的Last Christmas印象深刻嗎？
下載吧！
http://0rz.net/670W6
另外呢 大家都以為這是beatles唱的
錯錯錯錯！
這是Rubber Band這個樂團模仿beatles風格唱的
beatles的歌迷還特地做了一個網頁來澄清呢
http://www.thebeatleshk.com/Recommendation/Beatmas.html
如果你比較喜歡原唱的版本
附上原唱Wham的版本吧
http://0rz.net/f10Vc
其實本來有MV要一起分享的
不過空間不夠 有機會再分享吧
歌詞
Last Christmas
Wait!Oh yes!Marry Christmas Little Girl!
Last year You Left me little girl!
(前兩句是活潑版才有的)
Last Christmas I gave you my heart
But the very next day you gave it away
This year to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special
Once bitten and twice shy
I keep my distance
But you still catch my eye
Tell me baby
Do you recognize me
Well it's been a year
It doesn't surprise me
(Happy Christmas)
I wrapped it up and sent it
With a note saying "I love you"
I meant it
Now I know what a fool I've been
But if you kissed me now
I know you'd fool me again
A crowded room
Friends with tired eyes
I'm hiding from you and your soul of ice
My god I thought you were someone to rely on me
I guess I was a shoulder to cry on
A face on a lover with a fire in his heart
A man under cover but you tore me apart
Now I've found a real love you'll never fool me again
A face on a lover with a fire in his heart
A man under cover but you tore him apart
Maybe next year I'll give it to someone
I'll give it to someone special
去年的聖誕節，我把心給了你
但隔天你就將它丟棄
今年，我在淚水中力圖振作
我會把心交給一個特別的人
曾經受傷，不免心存畏懼
我保持著距離
但你依然吸引著我的目光
告訴我，寶貝
你認出我了嗎？
已經過了一年
我並不驚訝
(聖誕快樂)
我包裝好後將它送出
附上字條，寫著"我愛你"
我是認真的
現在我才知道當初真傻
但如果你現在吻我
你可以再一次地愚弄我
擁擠的房間裡
朋友們眼神疲憊
我想避開你和你冰冷的靈魂
老天，我曾以為你是多麼倚賴我
我以為我就是你可以靠著哭泣的肩膀
有著火熱的心的愛人臉龐
刻意掩飾，你卻將我拆穿
如今我已找到真愛，你再也不能愚弄我
有著火熱的心的愛人臉龐
刻意掩飾，你卻將我拆穿
也許明年我會把心交給一個人
一個特別的人
今年這首歌對我有不同的意義呀.... 呵呵呵...
====================================================================
再來一首吧
Hear me cry
其實這首今年情人節寄過了
也一樣是寄給單身的朋友聽的
如果你仍然是單身
那何妨再聽一次呢
http://0rz.net/470WD
這首歌一個人的時候聽很動人呢...
其實這首是日劇“戀愛世代”的主題曲
木村和松隆子演的
作者是一位日本的作曲家CAGNET
歌詞寫得很棒
可以好好看一下喔
不過 因為沒看到令我滿意的翻譯版本
所以只附上英文歌詞
(有沒有哪位願意幫我翻個美麗的版本呀)
請心領神會
不過請小心不要用掉太多面紙
Hear me cry
You couldn't say
needed someone new
You actually thought
deep inside I knew
Can you tell me How can you say
Why this should suffice
You passed me by
and your heart as cold as ice
(You passed me by)
Did you see me cry
(Did you ask yourself why)
Did you see me cry
(Did you ask yourself how)
Can you hear me cry
(Did you ask yourself)
Will we ever grow apart
You, you couldn't say
needed someone new
You actually thought
deep inside I knew
I wonder where we will go
Will we be the same (You passed me by)
I laugh inside I think of you
and the love we made (You passed me by)
Tell me why this should suffice
I hold you through the night
Now will I let it go
Soon I'll let it go
Can you hear me cry
(Will you ask yourself why)
Can you hear me cry
(Will you ask yourself how)
Can you hear me cry
(Will you ask yourself)
Will we ever grow apart
You, I'll stand by your side
I'll be there for you (You passed me by)
You, I'll stand by your side
Please just do it right (You passed me by)
You, I'll stand by your side
I'll be there for you
