ONCE: What does it feel like to be in love? 曾經愛是唯一 (3)
ONCE: What does it feel like to be in love?
The Hill Looking up the hill tonight When you have closed your eyes I wish I didn't have to make all those mistakes and be wise Please try to be patient and know that I'm still learning I'm sorry that you have to see the strength inside me burning
Where are you now, angel now Don't you see me crying And I know that you can't do it all But you can't say your not trying I'm on my knees in front of him But he doesn't seem to see me But all his troubles on his mind is looking right through me And I'm letting myself down deciding is falling you And I wished that you could see I have my troubles too
Lookin' at you sleeping I'm with a man I know I'm sitting here weeping while the hours pass so slow And I know that in the mornin' I have to let you go And you'll be just a man once I leave to know For these past few days someone I don't recognize This isn't all my fault When will you realize
So, If you ever want something You call, you call And I'll come running to fight And I'll be at your door And there's nothing worth running for
When your mind is made up When your mind is made up There's no point trying to change it When your mind is made up When your mind is made up There's no point trying to stop it
You see you're just like everyone When you share your falls All you want to do is run away And hide all by yourself When there's fall, there's fall There's nothing else
When your mind is made up When your mind is made up There's no point trying to change it When your mind is made up When your mind is made up There's no point even talkin' When your mind is made up When your mind is made up There's no point trying to fight it When your mind, your mind
There's no point trying to change it When your
So,If you ever want something Then you call, call Then I'll come running
I don't know you but I want you All the more for that Words fall through me and always fool me And I can't react
Games that never amount To more than they're meant Will play themselves out
Take this sinking boat and point it home We've still got time, raise your hopeful voice You had the choice, you've made it now
Falling slowly, eyes that know me And I can't go back Moods that take me and erase me And I'll paint it black
You have suffered enough and warred with yourself It's time that you won
Take this sinking boat and point it home We've still got time, raise your hopeful voice You had the choice, you've made it now
Take this sinking boat and point it home We've still got time, raise your hopeful voice You had the choice, you've made it now Falling slowly, sink your melody I'll sing it now
Love is like the wind. You cannot see it but you can always feel it.

Would you know my name, if I saw you in heaven Would it be the same, if I saw you inheaven I must be strong and carry on 'cause I know I don't belong here in heaven
Would you hold my hand, if I saw you in heaven Would you help me stand, if I saw you in heaven I'll find my way through night and day 'cause I know I just can't stay here in heaven
Time can bring you down Time can bend your knees Time can break your heart Time can bend your knees, have you begging please
Beyond the door, there is peace I'm sure And I know there will be no more tears in heaven
You ask how much I need you Must I explain I need you , oh my darling Like roses need rain You ask how long I'll love you I'll tell you true Until the twelfth of never I'll still be loving you
Hold me close, never let me go Hold me close, melt my heart like April snow
I'll love you till the bluebells forget to bloom I'll love you till the clover has lost its perfume I'll love you till the poets run out of rhyme Until the twelfth of never And that's a long, long time Until the twelfth of never And that's a long, long time (That's a long, long time)
在多年前讀英文系時的第一堂課裡,老師就選擇了十八世紀詩人羅勃.彭斯(Robert Burns, 1759-1796)(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Burns) 的《我的愛像一朵豔紅玫瑰》(My Love Is Like A Red Red Rose)做為我們的啟蒙教材,玫瑰的意像與色澤,不但是少女美麗的臉龐、光鮮的肌膚與芬芳的氣息,更豐富了所有人的想像,接下來,大家都發現「海枯石爛的永恆盟誓」,其實不是我們的獨家發明,英國人的詩文創作世界也有相同的比喻,情歌本來就是這般美麗,心靈是東西相通的。
0 my luve is like a red, red rose, 呵,我的愛人像一朵豔紅的玫瑰, that's newly sprung in June; 六月裡迎風初開; 0 my luve is like a melody, 呵,我的愛人像一支甜美的樂曲, that's sweetly play'd in tune. 演奏得合弦又合拍。
As fair thou art, my bonnie lass, 我的好姑娘,你有多麼美, so deep in luve am I; 我的愛就有多麼深; And I will luve thee still, my dear, 親愛的,我要永遠地愛你, till a' the seas gang dry. 直到大海乾涸水流盡。
Till a' the seas gang dry, my dear, 直到大海乾涸水流盡,親愛的, and the rocks melt wi' the sun! 直到太陽把岩石熔成灰燼: O I will luve thee still, my dear, 呵,親愛的,我將會永遠地愛你, while the sands o' life shall run. 只要我一息猶存。
And fare thee weel, my only luve! 再見吧,我唯一的愛, And fare thee weel awhile! 讓我們暫時分離! And I will come again, my luve. 親愛的,我一定要回來, Tho' it were ten thousand mile!哪怕是遠行千里萬里。

鄧約翰1623年所作的《沉思錄》第十七篇(Meditation 17)詩篇中的經典名句「別問喪鐘為誰而敲」及No man is an island「没有人是孤島」。
No man is an island 没有人是孤島
No man is an island, entire of itself; (人不是島,本身並不完備) Every man is a piece of the continent,(每個人是大洲的一小塊) A part of the main.(大陸的一部分) If a cold be washed away by the sea,(如果一塊土地被海洋冲走) Europe is the less, (歐洲就缩小了一點) As Well as if a promontory were,(如果冲走一個海峽也是這樣) As well as if a manor of thy friend,(如果冲走你朋友的莊園) Or of thine own, were.(或者你自己的莊園,也是這樣) Any man's death diminishes me, (任何人的死都使我缩减) Because I am involved in mankind;(因為我和人類息息相關) And, therefore, never sand to know (因此,不要派人去打聽) For whom the bell tolls:(喪鐘為誰而敲:) It tolls for thee.(它敲是為了你)
