老歌亂談(768)Queen of Hearts

推薦 2 收藏 0 轉貼0 訂閱站台

此首《Queen of Hearts》為美國女歌手Emmylou Harris的專屬樂團The Hot Band的踏板鋼弦吉他手 ( pedal Steel guitarist ) Hank DeVito所寫，1979由威爾斯歌手Dave Edmunds首錄發行，在英國排行榜拿下第11名，可惜未能在其他國家進榜。

1980，美國鄉村歌手Rodney Crowell在原作者Hank DeVito親自擔任伴奏的加持下，亦推出其翻唱版，卻仍無啥叫好聲息。1981，美國女歌手Juice Newton再翻唱此曲，不僅在告示牌熱門排行榜獲得第2名，另在澳洲及加拿大均進入排行榜前10名，也是此曲成績最佳的版本。

Juice Newton曾5度獲得葛萊美獎最佳鄉村女歌手的提名，並在1983獲獎乙次，該次為翻唱60年代女歌手Brenda Lee的《Break It to Me Gently》。Juice Newton對於翻唱似頗具心得，另首由Angelina Jolie ( 安潔莉娜裘莉 ) 的叔叔，也就是演員Jon Voight的弟弟Chip Taylor所寫的《Angel of the Morning》，Newton的翻唱版 (1981)不僅成績斐然獲得葛萊美獎提名，唱片也大賣超過百萬張，也成為了她的招牌歌之一 ( 台長個人覺得，雖然Newton的《Angel of the Morning》也唱得不錯，但仍不及原唱Merrilee Rush ( 1968 ) 的原汁原味 )。

Jon Voight (L) and Chip Taylor attend Songwriters Hall Of Fame 47th Annual Induction And Awards at Marriott Marquis Hotel on June 9, 2016 in New York City.

在愛情的競逐場上，常會出現萬人迷的「紅心皇后」，問題是追求者眾，總是會有些一廂情願像小丑般的傻瓜。說真格的，若雙方關係未能如預期的進展，或是發現「表兄弟」眾多，還是早閃為妙。( 哈哈！歌詞的意涵各自解讀啦！)

Midnight,
and I'm a-waiting on the twelve-oh-five
Hoping it'll take me just a little farther down the line

Moonlight,
you're just a heartache in disguise;
Won't you keep my heart from breaking
if it's only for a very short time

Playing with the queen of hearts,
knowing it ain't really smart
The joker ain't the only fool
who'll do anything for you

Laying out another lie,
thinking 'bout a life of crime
That's what I'll have to do
to keep me away from you

Honey, you know it makes you mad
Why is everybody telling everybody what you have done
Baby, I know it makes you sad
But when they're handing out the heartaches
you know you got to have you some

Playing with the queen of hearts,
knowing it ain't really smart
The joker ain't the only fool
who'll do anything for you

Lovers, I know you've had a few
But hide your heart beneath the covers
and tell 'em they're the only one
And others, they know just what I'm going through
And it's a-hard to be a lover when you say you're only in it for fun

Playing with the queen of hearts,
knowing it ain't really smart
The joker ain't the only fool who'll do anything for you

Playing with the queen of hearts,
knowing it ain't really smart
The joker ain't the only fool
who'll do anything for you

Playing with the queen of hearts
