老歌亂談(105)Sad Movies




對於當年喜歡西洋歌曲的人來說,幾乎人人都能唱上幾句《Sad Movies》。

 

這首歌的內容是述說女孩約男友看電影,男友推說要工作,她就自己去了。才在播新聞片時,卻看到男友帶著她最要好的朋友一起進來,並坐在她的前排,當看到男友吻她的朋友時,她傷心欲絕的開始哭了。回到家,母親看到她的眼淚問說:怎麼啦?為了怕被再追問,只好說:看悲劇的電影都會讓我哭。

 

每次聽這首歌,歌詞中的情景也會像電影般,活生生的在我心中上演,再加上演唱者Sue Thompson(蘇 湯普生)像小女孩般的歌喉,更是讓人覺得不忍。

 

這首歌在1961推出,雖然只得到排行榜的第五名,但卻是六O年代初期的老歌之中,最受人喜愛的幾首之一,也是首歷久不衰的經典老歌。

 



Sa-a-a-d movies always make me cry

He said he had to work so I went to the show alone
They turned down the lights and turned the projector on
And just as the news of the world started to begin
I saw my darlin' and my best friend walk in

Though I was sittin' there they didn't see
And so they sat right down in front of me
When he kissed her lips I almost died
And in the middle of the color cartoon I started to cry.

Oh-oh-oh sa-a-a-d movies always make me cry
Oh-oh-oh sa-a-a-d movies always make me cry

And so I got up and slowly walked on home
And mama saw the tears and said what's wrong
And so to keep from telling her a lie
I just said  sa-a-a-d movies make me cry

Oh-oh-oh sa-a-a-d movies always make me cry
Oh-oh-oh sa-a-a-d movies always make me cry

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

Sa-a-a-d movies make me cry
