老歌亂談(233)To Know You Is To Love You

 


這首歌原名為《To Know Him Is To Love Him》,寫歌者Phil Spector的靈感竟是來自於他父親的墓碑上所書刻的「To Know Him Was To Love Him」。1958年由三人團體The Teddy Bears首錄推出,並成為告示牌熱門百大的冠軍曲。

之後翻唱者眾,有 Nancy Sinatra、Marc Bolan、Gary Glitter、Peter & Gordon 以及 Bobby Vinton等,而這些版本都已將歌名改成了《To Know You Is To Love You》。1987年,美國鄉村音樂的三位女性超級巨星 Dolly Parton、Linda Ronstadt 和 Emmylou Harris 合唱了此曲,她們的版本登上了該年鄉村單曲的冠軍寶座,使得這首歌再度的流行了起來。

披頭合唱團 ( The Beatles ) 亦曾翻唱過此曲,其版本歌名為《To Know Her Is To Love Her》,但直至1994年以前未正式的發行過 ( 目前YouTube上可以看到他們的現場演唱版 )。

我當年是聽Bobby Vinton的版本 (Charted at #34 on Billboard Hot 100 in April 1969 ),或許是因為先入為主,我還是覺得他唱得最好聽。

 

 

To know, know, know you
Is to love, love, love you
Just to see you smile
Makes my life worthwhile
To know, know, know you
Is to love, love, love you
And I do, yes I do, yes I do

I'll be good to you
And I'll bring love to you
Oh, everyone says there'll come a day
When I'll walk along side of you
And to know, know, know you
Is to love, love, love you
And I do, yes I do, yes I do

Why can't you see?
Oh, how blind can you be?
Someday you'll see
That you were meant for me

To know, know, know you
Is to love, love, love you
Just to see you smile
Makes my life worthwhile
To know, know, know you
Is to love, love, love you
And I do, yes I do, yes I do
And I do, yes I do, yes I do
Yes I do
