最近听到德国歌手Lisa Bassenge翻唱的这首旧歌“My Heart Belongs To Daddy”:Cole Porter于1938写的。这歌最出名的翻唱者是 Marilyn Monroe玛丽莲梦露,还有在Céline Dion未曾被我们认识的时候也翻唱过这首老歌,当然还有无数的名人,甚至最近大热的那部美剧Desperate Housewives中,也出现了这首经典老歌。
说到歌手,其中声线最特别的我觉得就是最近的Lisa Bassenge,有点Jazz、有点呢喃,象回忆里的清风。而Marilyn Monroe配合她的淘气表情和柔美的声音,几乎让人无法抗拒。每个歌手的演译方式不同,歌曲的味道也可以完全不同。
说回首歌本身,每个小女孩最崇拜的就是自己的爸爸,小女孩心中的爸爸就是她的整片天空,我想那种感觉是小男孩也无法理解的。而这首歌却把这种特别的感觉表达得淋漓尽致。就象一个漫不经心的哼曲,回响在童年天真的梦里。
网上找不到Lisa的video和mp3,但却找到
梦露的这段经典表演:
My name is Lolita and I'm not supposed to play..with boys!
What? Mon coeur est a papa. You know, le proprietaire. No!
While tearing off a game of golf,
I may make a play for the caddy,
but when I do, I don't follow through
'cause my heart belongs to daddy.
If I invite a boy some night to dine on my fine finnan haddie,
I just adore his asking for more, but,
my heart belongs to daddy.
Yes, my heart belongs to daddy, so I simply couldn't be bad.
Yes my heart belongs to daddy.
So I want to warn you laddie,
though I know that you're perfectly swell,
that my heart belongs to daddy cause my daddy he treats it
so..
While tearing off a game of golf,
I may make a play for the caddy,
but when I do, I don't follow through,ooh, daddy.
I f I invite a boy some night to cook up a fine enchilada,
though spanish rice is all very nice..
my heart belongs to my daddy so I simply couldn't be bad.
So, I want to warn you laddie,
though I know that you're perfectly swell,
that my heart belongs to my daddy
'cause my daddy he treats it..so..
That little old man he just treats it so good!
