一直很喜欢Lara Fabian,这里选三首她用Italian, French和English演绎的歌曲。
Caruso
Here where the sea sparkles,
and a strong wind blows,
on an old terrace overlooking the gulf of Sorrento,
a man holds a little girl in his arms
after he's been crying.
He clears his throat and sings the song again.
I love you so much;
so very much, you know.
It's a bond, now,
you know, that thaws the blood in the veins.
He looked at the lights, out at sea,
and thought about the nights in America.
But they were only the lamps of fishing boats
and the white of wake.
He felt the pain of the music.
He got up from the piano,
but when he saw the moon come out from behind the clouds
death seemed sweeter to him.
He looked into the little girl's eyes -
those eyes as green as the sea,
then suddenly a tear fell
and he thought he was drowning.
I love you so much;
so very much, you know.
It's a bond, now,
you know, and it thaws the blood in the veins.
The power of opera!
where every drama is a sham;
where, with a little bit of make-up and mimicry,
you can become someone else.
But two eyes that look at you,
so close and so real,
make you forget the script,
confounding your thoughts.
And so everything became insignificant,
including the nights in America.
You look back and see your life
like the wake [of the boats].
Ah yes! Life is ending,
but he wasn't worried about it any more.
Instead he felt happy
and began to sing the song again.
I love you so much;
so very much, you know.
It's a bond, now,
you know, that thaws the blood in the veins.
My Love
Evidently we knew
Of better ways to say goodbye
But whenever love is through
Hearts need to find a reason why
Lost inside the maze
I dreamed of you and I forgave
The things we do for love
When love is all
Repeatedly, it's true
The child in me would long for you
And readily you'd give
To set me free you'd mother me
I crept into your soul
Before I knew that it was wrong
Lost for words and dreams
I'm gonna scream
My love, my love
I love you innocently
Like a star upon a screen
My love, my love
I need you eagerly
Like the man I will never be
My love I love you so
So wrong to place in you
All of my dreams, all of the pain
Too late now to undo
I shoulda known there'd come the rain
Trapped inside the gates
We danced the night through Satan's gaze
My love, oh how I yearned
To feel the burn of your caress
Refrain
My love, my love
I love you innocently
Like a star upon a screen
My love, my love, my love, my love, my world, my soul
I need you desperately
Like the man I will never be
My love I love you so
My love I love you so
I don’t know where to find you
I don’t know how to reach you
I hear your voice in the wind
I feel you under my skin (or "that brings me a touch of hint")
Within my heart and my soul
I wait for you
Adagio (or "I love you" or "I need you")
All of these nights without you
All of my dreams surround you
I see and I touch your face
I fall into your embrace
When the time is right, I know
You'll be in my arms
Adagio (or "I love you" or "I need you")
I close my eyes and I find a way
No need for me to pray
I’ve walked so far
I've fought so hard
Nothing more to explain
I know all that remains
Is a piano that plays
If you know where to find me
If you know how to reach me
Before this light fades away
Before I run out of faith
Be the only man (or "one") to say
That you'll hear my heart
That you'll give your life
Forever you'll stay
Don't let this light fade away
No No No No No No
Don't let me run out of faith
Be the only man (or "one") to say
That you believe
Make me believe
You won't let go
Adagio (or "I love you" or "I need you")
