英文广告歌曲：柯达（胶卷）-Westlife Seasons in the Sun

柯达（胶卷）-Westlife Seasons in the Sun



Seasons in the Sun》是西城男孩翻唱的经典曲目，家喻户晓。其原作者为Jacques Brel。



事实上，「Seasons in the Sun」绝对不是一首愉快的曲子，甚至还十分的伤感。它是一位法国歌手Jacques Brel的作品，原名叫做「Le Moribond」（将死的人），发表于1961年。歌曲的内容大致描述一个罹患癌症、不久于人世的男子，在面临死亡的时候，对父亲、妻子以及挚友的依依难舍。



跟Brel私交相当不错的美国诗人歌手Rod McKuen，很早就把这首歌曲翻译成英文的「Seasons in the Sun」，并且在1964年由民歌界元老的Kingston Trio率先灌录成唱片，不过当时并没有造成太大的轰动。后来，跟Rod McKuen颇有交情的Terry Jacks 1把它重新灌录，在1974年的三月二日获得全美排行三周冠军，原本也没有在中国受到太多注意，直到几年之后，才因为柯达的广告而在台湾造成了疯狂的流行，只可惜主唱人Terry Jacks当时早就在歌坛消失了。这位男歌手留下来的歌曲并不多，不过这首歌却成了经典——尽管他的诠释老实说有点失真。



英文歌词

Seasons in the Sun

Goodbye to you my trusted friend

We've known each other since we were nine or ten

Together we've climbed hills and trees

Learned of love and ABC's

Skinned our hearts and skinned our knees

Goodbye my friend it's hard to die

When all the birds are singing in the sky

Now that spring is in the air

Pretty girls are everywhere

Think of me and I'll be there

We had joy, we had fun, we had seasons in the sun

But the hills that we climbed were just seasons out of time

Goodbye Papa, please pray for me

I was the black sheep of the family

You tried to teach me right from wrong

Too much wine and too much song

Wonder how I got along

Goodbye papa, it's hard to die

When all the birds are singing in the sky

Now that the spring is in the air

Little children are everywhere

When you see them I'll be there

We had joy, we had fun, we had seasons in the sun

But the wine and the song like the seasons have all gone

We had joy, we had fun, we had seasons in the sun

But the wine and the song like the seasons have all gone

Goodbye Michelle my little one

You gave me love and helped me find the sun

And every time that I was down

You would always come around

And get my feet back on the ground

Goodbye Michelle it's hard to die

When all the birds are singing in the sky

Now that the spring is in the air

With the flowers everywhere

I wish that we could both be there

We had joy, we had fun, we had seasons in the sun

But the hills that we climbed were just seasons out of time

We had joy, we had fun, we had seasons in the sun

But the wine and the song like the seasons have all gone

We had joy, we had fun, we had seasons in the sun

But the wine and the song like the seasons have all gone

We had joy, we had fun, we had seasons in the sun

But the wine and the song like the seasons have all gone

We had joy, we had fun, we had seasons in the sun

But the stars we could reach were just starfishes on the beach
