老歌亂談(1210)Maybe You Should've Been Listening

推薦 5 收藏 0 轉貼0 訂閱站台

 

此曲收錄在鄉村女歌手Jessi Colter 1978年底發行的專輯《That's the Way a Cowboy Rocks and Rolls》中,並作為首支主打單曲,但只獲得鄉村榜的第46名。

1968,Colter與首任丈夫離婚,同年,遇到了那位當年(1959)因好心讓機位給他人,而幸運未與當紅歌手Buddy Holly一起摔飛機的Waylon Jennings,1969,倆人結婚。Jennings和Willie Nelson為好友,同是Outlaw Country ( 非法 / 叛道鄉村 )流派的知名歌手,嫁雞隨雞,Colter之後的歌路也自然而然的改變,也有稱她為The Queen of Outlaw Country。

其實這首《Maybe You Should've Been Listening》的首錄發行者是Jody Miller (1977),但對這類哀怨情歌的詮釋實在不及Jessi Colter。歌曲述說的是女主角離開男子,但男子根本不太在意,除了自己難以忘懷也頗有悔意。看來是男子對女主角的愛不夠深,故又何必要一再的委曲求全?離開才是正確的選擇。

以下另貼曾介紹過Colter非常知名的歌曲《I'm Not Lisa》,就請一併欣賞。

【中文歌詞為Google翻譯】

你又回到了我的腦海裡,在那裡你待了很長時間
Here you are back on my mind where you stay quite a lot
帶回所有我以為我已經忘記的舊記憶
Bringing back all the old mem'ries I thought I'd forgot
我只是不斷地發現你和我在一起,但我不知道為什麼
I just keep finding you with me and I don't know why
也許當我說再見時你應該聽聽
Maybe you should've been listening when I said goodbye

我不敢相信你怎麼能一直牢牢抓住我的心
I can't believe how you keep hanging on to my mind
現在我知道離開意味著一個人離開並留下來
Now I ( Don't You ) know leaving means one goes and one stays behind
無論我如何努力,我都無法逃離你
I can't escape from you no matter how hard I try
也許當我說再見時你應該聽聽
Maybe you should've been listening when I said goodbye

也許當我走開時你應該看著
Maybe you should've been watching when I walked away
也許你不會日復一日地出現
Maybe you wouldn't keep turning up day after day
如果你注意的話你就會知道我沒有說謊
If you'd paid attention you'd have known I didn't lie
也許當我說再見時你應該聽聽
Maybe you should've been listening when I said goodbye

《I'm Not Lisa》

I'm not Lisa, my name is Julie
Lisa left you years ago
My eyes are not blue
But mine won't leave you
'Til the sunlight has touched your face
She was your morning light
Her smile told of no night
Your love for her grew
With each rising sun
And then one winter day
His hand led hers away
She left you here drowning in your tears, here
Where you've stayed for years
Crying Lisa, Lisa
I'm not Lisa, my name is Julie
Lisa left you years ago
My eyes are not blue
But mine won't leave you
'Til the sunlight shines through your face
