卡朋特《Yesterday Once More》(昨日重现)




《Yesterday Once More》(昨日重现)

当我年轻时,When I was yong,常听收音机,I’d listen to the radio,等待心爱的歌曲。
Waiting for my favorite songs.
听到播放时便随声歌唱,
When they played I’d sing along,
这使我欢畅。
It made me smile.

那时多么幸福的时刻!Those were such happy times,就在不久以前。And not so long ago.我想知道他们曾去何处,
How I wondered where they’d gone.
但我所有深爱的歌曲,
But they’re back again,
他们现在又回来,
Just like a long lost friend.
正如老友失散又重聚。
All the songs I love so well.

每一句sha-la-la-laEvery sha-la-la-la每一句wo-wo仍闪烁,Every wo-wo still shines,每一句shinga-linga-ling,
Every shinga-linga-ling,
他们又开始唱得如此动听。
That they’re starting to sing so fine.

当他们唱到一个地方When they get to the part,令她伤心断肠,Where he‘s breaking her heart,这真能叫我哭出来,
It can really make me cry,
正如从前一样,
Just like before,
仿佛昔日又重来
It’s yesterday once more.

回头看Looking back on how it was,岁月如何消逝In years gone by,这些过去的好时光,
And the good time that I had,
使今天显得令人哀伤。
Makes today seem rather sad.
变化多大啊!
So much has changed.

我向他们唱It was songs of love,爱的歌曲。That I would sing to them,我会记住每一句歌词。
And I’d memorize each word,
那些古老的曲调,
Those old melodies
在我听来还是那么好,
Still sound so good to me,
好像他们把岁月融消。
As they melt the years away.

每一句sha-la-la-laEvery sha-la-la-la每一句wo-wo仍闪烁,Every wo-wo still shines,每一句shinga-linga-ling,
Every shinga-linga-ling,
他们又开始唱得如此动听。
That they’re starting to sing so fine.

我所有美好的记忆All my best memories,清晰的重现。Come back clearly to me.有一些仍能使我哭出来,
Some can even make me cry,
正如从前一样,
Just like before,
仿佛昔日又重来。
It’s yesterday once more.

每一句sha-la-la-laEvery sha-la-la-la每一句wo-wo仍闪烁,Every wo-wo still shines,每一句shinga-linga-ling,
Every shinga-linga-ling,
他们又开始唱得如此动听。
That they’re starting to sing so fine.

《Yesterday Once More》(昨日重现)是Karen•Carpenter(卡伦•卡朋特)的经典曲目之一,也是最早在中国传唱的英文歌曲,深受广大歌迷的喜爱。
这是一首追怀旧情的感伤之作。时光流逝情感变迁,可那一首首犹如旧友的老歌,给多愁善感的她带来的是无限的温馨和慰藉。在清亮如水的旋律中,卡伦•卡朋特的演唱柔柔似缎,令人心醉,而歌中流露出的哀怨和伤感,使人联想起她的早逝,更令人心碎。
其实这首歌带给我们的不应该是伤感,因为卡伦唱得太甜美、太幸福了,在对往昔的重温中充满对生活的感恩——“年少的时候,独自守在收音机旁,等待着那些最心爱的歌。歌声响起,独自哼唱,嘴唇挂上淡淡微笑......” 现在,我们还会经常听到这首歌,我们也会跟着唱“Every sha la la la Every wo-wo still shines……” 喜欢这首歌是没有理由的,不仅仅因为它好听......
