老歌亂談(1070)One Day at a Time

此為一首西部鄉村風格的「基督」歌曲,由Marijohn Wilkin與Kris Kristofferson ( 此位老兄歌唱得普通,倒是寫過不少好歌,像是《Help Me Make It Through The Night》。) 所合寫,1974首由美國鄉村女歌手Marilyn Sellars錄唱發行,成績雖然不算很好,但也橫跨鄉村和流行榜,分別獲得第19與37名,另也在1975獲得「福音音樂協會」的「金鴿獎」( GMA Dove Awards )。

1977,愛爾蘭女歌手Gloria翻唱曲,獲得愛爾蘭排行榜的第5名,一年後又重新發行,此次卻登上了冠軍寶座,前後在排行榜前30名共計停留了90週,也創下了該排行榜的記錄。1979,蘇格蘭女歌手Lena Martell的版本在英國單曲排行榜也勇奪冠軍。這還沒完,1980,美國女歌手Cristy Lane無懼於此曲已在英國的成功,仍再推出她的版本,也再拿下了美國告示牌鄉村榜的冠軍。同一首歌能在多個國家地區,由不同歌手獲得第一名,確屬不多見。對寫歌者Kris Kristofferson來說,此是他第6首的冠軍曲,而距上一首已相隔了6年,應別具意義。

Kris Kristofferson & Cristy Lane


One Day at a Time應該有「活在當下」之意。如同歌詞中說的:Yesterday's gone, And tomorrow may never be mine, Lord help me today, show me the way.昨日已逝、明日未知,認真的面對每一天,也希望上帝能給予指引和力量。

以下另貼納米比亞歐裔女歌手Juanita Du Plessis的版本,比較偏鄉村味。

I'm only human, I'm just a woman
Help me believe in what I could be and all that I am
Show me the stairway I have to climb
Lord, for my sake teach me to take one day at a time

One day at a time, sweet Jesus
That's all I'm asking from You
Just give me the strength to do everyday
What I have to do

Yesterday's gone, sweet Jesus
And tomorrow may never be mine
Lord, help me today, show me the way
One day at a time

Do you rememe the strength to dober when You walked among men?
Well Jesus, You know, if You're looking below, it's worse now than then
Cheating an stealing, violence and crime
So for my sake, teach me to take one day at a time

One day at a time, sweet Jesus
That's all I'm asking from You
Just give m everyday
What I have to do
Yesterday's gone, sweet Jesus
And tomorrow may never be mine
Lord, help me today, show me the way
One day at a time
