Rod Stewart- For The First Time


在一九九七的文藝愛情片一日鍾情裡有不少膾炙人口的好歌,之前先介紹過someone like you,原聲帶收錄的版本不是原唱,可是我的確也比較喜歡翻唱的女聲版。然而今天不一樣,For the first time這首歌曲在原聲帶裡頭其實就是原唱Kenny Loggins的版本。令人驚艷的是在八零年代以捍衛戰士中一曲danger zone紅遍一時的他唱起抒情歌曲竟也絲絲入味,備受讚揚而傳唱一時。我也是很愛他唱的版本,原本想要改天找個時間介紹(通常改天都會拖上一年….)。怎料世事多變,最近聽到洛史都華翻唱的版本,雖然很不想承認,但仔細聽過兩次還是決定將洛史都華的擺前面…..(似乎真的略勝半籌….

我國中對洛史都華這種沙啞到要破掉的嗓音沒啥好感,雖然看在名氣份上也買了張精選輯,平常卻很少有動力聽。但年過三十後,可能真的是滄桑作祟,倒覺得真的有股特別韻味,很適合一個人的夜晚….XD。所以人真的是會變的啊!Sailing也是被他唱紅,但我覺得原唱其實不輸他,只是各有千秋。但這首for thefirst time如今我卻真的較喜愛他演繹的版本,想想或許十年前的我會選原唱吧。

雖然看似首描述一見鍾情的歌曲,但仔細鑽研內容其實應該有隱含自己之前沒有發現對方的美好,直到真正認識她後才墜入情網。所以翻譯我刻意朝這方面解釋,但就不知原作者的想法為何了?(大家有比較好的翻譯想法嗎?)


Are those your eyes

那是你的雙眸嗎?
Is that your smile

那是你的微笑嗎?
I've been looking at you forever

我無法克制地凝視你
yet I never saw you before

即使你我素未謀面
Are these your hands holding mine

是你的雙手緊握著我嗎?
Now I wonder how I could have been so blind

之前的我竟然如此盲目
And for the first time I am looking in your eyes

然而當我第一次凝視你雙眼
For the first time I'm seeing who you are

當我第一次真正明瞭你時
I can't believe how much I see when you're looking back at me

當你回眸一笑,我不敢置信我親眼所見
now I understand what love is, love is

現在我終於明瞭愛的本質
for the first time

當我第一次真正明瞭你時

Can this be real

這是真的嗎?
Can this be true

難道是場夢?
Am I the person I was this morning

然而我依然是今晨的我
and are you the same you

你也未曾改變
It's all so strange

這一切是多麼奇妙
How can it be

真的無法想像
All along this love was right in front of me

原來真愛一直就在我眼前
And for the first time I am looking in your eyes

當我第一次凝視你雙眼
For the first time I'm seeing who you are

當我第一次真正明瞭你時
I can't believe how much I see when you're looking back at me

當你回眸一笑,我不敢置信我親眼所見
now I understand what love is, love is

現在我終於明瞭愛的本質
for the first time

當我第一次真正明瞭你時

Such a long time ago

許久以前

I had given up on finding this emotionnever again

我早已放棄追尋這情感
But you're here with me now

但如今你在我身旁
Yes I found you somehow

我終於找到了你

and I've never been so sure

我從未有如此真摯的感受
And for the first time I am looking in your eyes

當我第一次凝視你雙眼
For the first time I'm seeing who you are

當我第一次真正明瞭你
Can't believe how much I see when you're looking back at me

當你回眸一笑,我不敢置信我親眼所見
Now I understand what love is, love is

現在我終於明瞭愛的本質
for the first time

當我第一次真正明瞭你時
For the first time

當我第一次真正明瞭你時
