老歌亂談(354)I Only Want to Be with You




這首《I Only Want to Be with You》對英國女歌手Dusty Springfield來說是意義重大,除了是她出道三年後單飛的第一張單曲,也算是她的成名曲。1963年,該曲獲得美國排行榜第12名,是繼The Beatles合唱團掀起所謂的英倫入侵 ( British Invasion )之後,第二位攻進美國排行榜的英國歌手,。

Dusty Springfield的歌唱事業生涯從50年代晚期一直延伸至90年代,她那特殊感性的聲音,使得她成為重要的藍眼靈魂歌手 ( blue-eyes Soul Singer )。從1963至1989年,她總共有6首歌曲進入美國排行榜前20名,以及16首登上英國排行榜。尤其是她早期出現的造型---染成金色的蓬鬆髮型、晚禮服以及濃妝, 成為了60年代時髦摩登的指標。

此曲曾經多位歌手翻唱,也曾多次入榜。而英國樂團The Bay City Rollers在1976年的版本在美國同樣是獲得第12名,卻是迄今在商業銷售上最成功的。但許多喜愛Dusty Springfield的粉絲們可不這麼覺得,認為Rollers主要只是吸引了眾多的青少女罷了。甚至譏諷的說:Rollers能像Dusty Springfield一樣,進入「搖滾名人堂」嗎?

這首歌說的是一位女孩終於找到了她的夢中情人,至少她是這麼的認為,然後就緊跟著不放了。我們大多數人不也都是如此嗎?哈哈哈!









I don't know what it is that makes me love you so
I only know I never want to let you go
'Cause you started something, can't you see
Ever since we met you've had a hold on me
I happens to be true, I only want to be with you

It doesn't matter where you go or what you do
I want to spend each moment of the day with you
Look what has happened with just one kiss
I never knew that I could be in love like this
It's crazy but it's trues I only want to be with you

You stopped and smiled at me
Asked me if I'd care to dance
I fell into your open arms
I didn't stand a chance

Now, listen, honey, I just want to be beside you everywhere
As long as we're together, honey, I don't car
'Cause you started something, can't you see
Ever since we met you've had a hold on me
No matter what you do, I only want to be with you

You stopped and smiled at me
Asked me if I'd care to dance
I fell into your open arms
I didn't stand a chance

Now, listen, honey, I just want to be beside you everywhere
As long as we're together, honey, I don't care
'Cause you started something, can't you see
Ever since we met you've had a hold on me
No matter what you do, I only want to be with you
No matter, no matter what you do, I only want to be with you
No matter, no matter what you do, I only want to be with you
