Etta James








今晚看了一部關於６０年代的藍調電影

當時黑人的社會地位仍受歧視不平等對待

或許也因著這樣的艱困　當磨難轉化成音符時　　就動容了世界

關於藍調

那是一場古老的哭泣

不分膚色　國籍　語言

你可以看見皮膚上的疤痕　而　

心　只會有傷口

All I could do was cry

I heard church bells ringing
I heard a choir singing
I saw my love walk down the aisle
On her finger he placed a ring

Oh, I saw them holding hands
She was standing there with my man
I heard them promise "Till death do us part"
Each word was a pain in my heart

All I could do, all I could do was cry (cry, cry, cry)
All I could do was cry (cry, cry, cry)
I was losing the man that I loved
And all I could do was cry (cry, cry, cry)

Yeah and now the wedding's over
Rice, rice has been thrown over their heads
For them life has just begun
But mine is at an end

All, all I could do, all I could do was cry (cry, cry, cry)
All I could do was cry (cry, cry, cry)
I was losing the man that I loved (cry, cry, cry)
And all I could do was cry (cry, cry, cry)
