老歌亂談(100)Let's Live For Today
終於亂談到一百了,我其實也不覺得這是一個里程碑或是有什麼特殊意義,若勉強要表示一下的話,就用今天貼的歌名來代表我的心情吧。
這首《Let's Live For Today》原是英國樂團「The Rokes」於1966推出,但真正走紅卻是美國樂團「The Grass Roots」1967的版本,雖然只得到告示牌百大的第八名,但單曲的銷售量卻超過了二佰萬張,也因此獲頒了金唱片。時至今日,這仍是首受到廣泛關注的六O年代經典西洋歌曲。
這首歌對於當時參與越戰的美國阿兵哥來說,在那種焦慮不安、不知有沒有明天的情緒下,產生了極大的共鳴迴響。沒辦法,多數人就是這樣,只有真正身陷或經歷過人生的困境危難,才知活在當下的重要。
各位賞歌的朋友們,您還有什麼想做該做而還沒做的呢?卡緊啊!
When I think of all the worries
People seem to find
And how they're in a hurry
To complicate their minds
By chasing after money
And dreams that can't come true
I'm glad that we are different
We've better things to do
May others plan their future
I'm busy loving you
(One, two, three, four!)
Sha la la la la la live for today
Sha la la la la la live for today
And don't worry 'bout tomorrow, hey
Sha la la la la la live for today (live for today)
We were never meant to worry
The way that people do
And I don't mean to hurry
As long as I'm with you
We'll take it nice and easy
And use my simple plan
You'll be my lovin' woman
I'll be your lovin' man
We'll take the most from living
Have pleasure while we can
(Two, three, four!)
Sha la la la la la live for today
Sha la la la la la live for today
And don't worry 'bout tomorrow, hey
Sha la la la la la live for today (live for today)
Baby, I need to feel you inside of me
I got to feel you deep inside of me
Baby, please come close to me
I got to have you now, please, please
Please, please gimme some a-lovin'
To gimme some a-lovin'
To gimme some a-lovin'
To gimme some a-lovin'
Baby, gimme some a-lovin'
Gimme some a-lovin'
Got to have all your lovin'
Gimme some a-lovin'
I need all your lovin'
Gimme some a-lovin'
Now I need all your loving
Sha la la la la la live for today
Sha la la la la la live for today
And don't worry 'bout tomorrow, hey
Sha la la la la la live for today
(Oh, no, no, no, no, no)
Sha la la la la la live for today
