Help Me Make It Through The Night



助我渡過漫漫長夜

這首歌真的是很老了。

原唱,同時也是原作曲的Kris Kristofferson1970創作了它。雖然自己當年並未唱出什麼足以傲人的成績,但過去這40年來,不但翻唱的歌者不計其數,甚至有幾個還將它唱上了排行榜。

有些朋友特別喜歡Sammi Smith唱的女聲版,這個版本我也很喜歡,但我更喜歡的是這首Gladys Kinght & The Pips的版本,也就是你現在聽到的。很不一樣的味道。

還記得當年在這首老歌深沉柔美的節奏中,緩緩起舞的畫面嗎?

回想一下。


HELP ME MAKE IT THROUGH THE NIGHT

for  Gladys Knight & The Pips


HELP ME MAKE IT THROUGH THE NIGHT

for  Kris Kristofferson


I'm imagining
A lot of happy people
And most of you are with
Someone you love

Well,you are the lucky ones
All over the world,there are
Lots of people who are alone tonight

I imagine most of us have
Been it that situation
At one time or another
I know i have

Recently,i heard a beautiful song
With a dynamic lyric that really
Expresses this feeling of lonlieness

It means a lot to me,personally
And i'd like to share with you
I think you'll see what i mean


助我渡過漫漫長夜

Take the ribbon from my hair   取下髮上的絲帶
Shake it loose and let it fall  
甩甩頭,讓頭髮垂下
Laying soft against your skin  
輕輕的靠在你身上
Like the shadows on the wall  
像牆上的影子一樣

Come and lay down by my side   過來躺在我身邊
Til the early morning light  
直到晨光透入
All i'm taking is your time  
我佔有了你的時間
Help me make it through the night  
助我度過漫漫長夜

I don't care what's right or wrong   我不在乎是對是錯
And i won't try to understand  
也不想去了解
Let the devil take tomorrow  
把明天交給魔鬼
Oh,tonight i need a friend  
上帝,今晚我需要一個伴

Yesterday is dead and gone   昨日已消逝
And tomorrow's out of sight  
明日依然遠在天邊
And it's so sad to be alone  
一個人孤伶伶的真是可悲
Help me make it through the night  
助我度過漫漫長夜

Lord,it's so sad to be alone   上帝!孤伶伶的多可悲
Help me make it through the night  
幫助我度過漫漫長夜
Lead me through the night  
帶我度過漫漫長夜
Come on and take me through the night
來吧!帶我度過漫漫長夜
Through the night  
漫漫長夜
