[閒聊] 各位聽過I've Never Been to Me這首歌嗎?
最近幾天在公司的時候 都有同事在放這首歌
不過我聽到的是周慧敏板的翻譯歌 不是原版的
還是覺的原版的比較好聽 且歌詞也比較有點深意
只於周版的歌詞看起來就像是一般的情歌
比較沒有特別的地方
這首歌也算是滿有故事的 最早是在1977年第一次發行
但最佳成績只有97名
後來到了1982年 某天一位DJ偶然的播了這首歌
無意間卻引起了不少聽眾的興趣 就讓這首歌紅了起來
拿到全美排行榜第三和英國第一的好成績
也讓原唱Charlene一時之間成為家喻戶曉的藝人
但她後來再發行其他專輯卻都不成功
這首歌就是她唯一的暢銷歌曲
流行音樂應該很少有這種故事吧 要嘛就是一發就紅
不然就是一直沉寂 有類似這樣剛開始沒人聽
過了幾年被播出後才紅的歌曲嗎?
比較有趣的是 黃鶯鶯在這首原曲還沒走紅之前就有翻唱過
她算是很有鑑賞歌曲的眼光吧
至於周慧敏是在1992才把原曲翻譯成粵語歌曲
這首歌有女性主義說是偏向保守主義的歌
不過也有人不認同 就看個人感受不同了
想來和大家分享一下這首歌 由於年代距今已30年
可能年輕的板友不見得聽過

I've Never Been to Me
Hey lady, you, lady, cursin' at your life
You're a discontented mother and a regimented wife
I've no doubt you dream about the things you never do
But I wish someone had a talk to me like I wanna talk to you
Ooh I've been to Georgia and California, oh, anywhere I could run
Took the hand of a preacherman and we made love in the sun
But I ran out of places and friendly faces because I had to be free
I've been to paradise, but I've never been to me
Please lady, please, lady, don't just walk away
'Cause I have this need to tell you why I'm all alone today
I can see so much of me still living in your eyes
Won't you share a part of a weary heart that has lived a million lies
Oh I've been to Nice and the isle of Greece
Where I sipped champagne on a yacht
I moved like Harlow in Monte Carlo and showed 'em what I've got
I've been undressed by kings and I've seen some things
That a woman ain't s'posed to see
I've been to paradise, but I've never been to me
(this part is spoken...口白部分) Hey, you know what paradise is? It's a lie.
A fantasy we create about people and places as we'd like them to be.
But you know what truth is?
It's that little baby you're holding, and it's that man you fought with this morning,
the same one you're going to make love with tonight. That's truth, that's love.
Sometimes I've been to cryin' for unborn children
That might have made me complete
But I, I took the sweet life and never knew I'd be bitter from the sweet
I spent my life exploring the subtle whoring that cost too much to be free
Hey lady, I've been to paradise, but I've never been to me
I've been to paradise - never been to me
(I've been to Georgia and California, and anywhere I could run)
I've been to paradise - never been to me
(I've been to Nice and the isle of Greece
While I sipped champagne on a yacht)
I've been to paradise - never been to me
(I've been to cryin' for unborn children...)
(fade)
