我来一首:killing me softly with his song当年民谣女歌手洛里·利伯曼被朋友骗去听Don McLean的演唱会，一听之下大有感触，随手写了一首诗《Killing me softly with his blues》,后来词曲作者Norman Gimbel和Charles Fox就将其改编成歌，利伯曼自己演唱。当时很红的另一位女歌手 Roberta Flack 碰巧在飞机上听到这歌，下飞机后立马找到作者要求录制这歌，结果一个月里登上BILLBOARD的冠军，接下来又收录在一张专辑里，获得当年GRAMMY年度最佳女流行歌手、最佳专辑、最佳歌曲奖。 （from http://www.xifan.net/forum/viewtopic.php?pid=438） Killing Me Softly With His Song - Roberta Flack 73年全美流行单曲榜5周冠军曲 演唱：Roberta Flack Strumming my pain with his fingers, Singing my life with his words, Killing me softly with his song, Killing me softly with his song, Telling my whole life with his words, Killing me softly with his song. I heard he sang a good song. I heard he had a style. And so I come to see him To listen for a while. And there he was, this young boy A stranger to my eyes. Strumming my pain with his fingers, Singing my life with his words, Killing me softly with his song, Killing me softly with his song, Telling my whole life with his words, Killing me softly with his song. I felt I flushed with fever, Embarrassed by the crowd. I felt he found my letters And read each one out loud. I loved that he would finish. But he just kept right on. Strumming my pain with his fingers, Singing my life with his words, Killing me softly with his song, Killing me softly with his song, Telling my whole life with his words, Killing me softly with his song. He sang as if he knew me, In all my dark despair. And then he looked right through me As if I wasn‘t there. And he just kept on singing, Singing clear and strong. Strumming my pain with his fingers, Singing my life with his words, Killing me softly with his song, Killing me softly with his song, Telling my whole life with his words. Killing me softly with his song. He was strumming my pain, He‘s singing my life, La, La, La... Killing me softly with his song. Strumming my pain with his fingers, Singing my life with his words, Killing me softly with his song, Killing me softly with his song, Telling my whole life with his words, Killing me softly with his song. 【参考译文】 轻歌销魂 用手指弹奏出我的苦楚， 用歌词唱出我的生活， 用轻歌他销我的魂， 用轻歌他销我的魂， 用歌词唱说我整个一生， 用轻歌他销我的魂。 听他唱了一首好歌， 听他有一种风格， 于是我来看他， 要听他唱会儿歌。 他就在那儿，这少年 我一点也不认识。 用手指弹奏出我的苦楚， 用歌词唱出我的生活， 用轻歌他销我的魂， 用轻歌他销我的魂， 用歌词唱说我整个一生， 用轻歌他销我的魂。 我感到我满脸羞红， 在人群前窘迫。 感到他发现了我的信， 大声地朗读每一封， 但愿他快停止， 但他一直往下读。 用手弹奏出我的苦楚， 用歌词唱出我的生活， 用轻歌他销我的魂， 用轻歌他销我的魂， 用歌词唱说我整个一生， 用轻歌他销我的魂。 他唱得仿佛他认识我， 知道我所有绝望， 之后他看透我的心， 又仿佛我不存在。 他只是不停地唱， 唱得清晰而激昂。 用手指弹奏出我的苦楚， 用歌词唱出我的生活， 用轻歌他销我的魂， 用轻歌他销我的魂， 用歌词唱说我整个一生， 用轻歌他销我的魂。 他在弹奏出我的苦痛， 他在唱说我的生活， 啦，啦，啦…… 用轻歌他销我的魂。 用手指弹奏出我的苦痛， 用歌词唱出我的生活， 用轻歌他销我的魂， 用轻歌他销我的魂， 用歌词唱说我整个一生， 用轻歌他销我的魂。 Roberta Flack简介 美国老牌黑人女歌手Roberta Flack，在美国歌坛被奉为前辈级歌后，在70年代，她的歌声几乎家喻户晓，红透世界。1972年，第15届格莱美音乐奖颁奖典礼首次移到乡村乐的故乡纳什维尔举行，Roberta Flack因她的 “我第一次看到了你的脸”而获得年度单曲奖和年度最佳歌曲奖；1973年，第16届格莱美音乐奖在这一年再次回到洛杉矶举行颁奖仪式， Roberta Flack再显雄风，以一曲“Killing me softly with this song”而获得了年度最佳单曲和最佳流行女歌手两项大奖。 她的曲风为带有流行色彩的“轻柔爵士”，嗓音厚实，略带沙哑，高亢嘹亮，中气十足，同时也蕴藏多变的真假声技巧，像“Killing me softly with his song”等经典名曲，就是由她首唱而传遍世界的。现在，Roberta Flack虽然隐退歌坛，但像玛多纳、惠特尼-休斯顿等后生巨星，均曾经拜她为师，学习唱功。她也会应邀偶然出现在白宫，为总统以及国宾表演。
