老歌亂談(1050) ( Hey Baby ) Que Paso

左至右:Jimenez、Sahm、Fender & Meyers。

1990,以Doug Sahm為首的幾位知名人物 ( 包含有以一首《Before the Next Teardrop Falls》走紅的Freddy Fender、號稱「conjunto ( 墨西哥的手風琴樂隊 ) 音樂之父」的Flaco Jiménez,以及Doug Sahm的長期音樂伙伴Augie Meyers。) 組成了美/墨音樂風格的超級團體Texas Tornados,並在同年出了一張與樂團同名的專輯,雖然專輯在美國鄉村榜只拿下第25名,而其中的一首《Soy de San Luis》卻替樂團奪得了一座「最佳美/墨歌曲演唱」的葛萊美獎。

此首《( Hey Baby ) Que Paso》亦為前述專輯中的歌曲,由團員Augie Meyers與另人所合寫 。原本專輯中的歌曲都錄有英語及西班牙語兩個版本,而英語版仍沿用了幾個西語字彙,反而更增加了歌曲的趣味性。

像是 ---
que paso:等於是英文「what's up?」,意思是「怎樣啊?」。
de ese modo:相似於英文「in this way」,意思應是「用這樣的方式」。
vato:英文的「man」( 男人 )
corazon:英文的「heart」?
uno beso:a kiss?

呵呵,以上為不負責翻譯。
