黃鶯鶯的英文歌一向是有口碑的,
然而台灣對英文專輯的接受度比不過中文專輯,
有很多張對鶯迷來說經典的不得了,
實際上卻不算是暢銷的英文專輯

這個現象在1987年有了很大的轉機,
齊豫連續兩年發行了「Stories」「Whoever Finds This, I Love You」「Paradise Bird」,
三張專輯都相當暢銷,引起了一陣英文歌熱潮

1989年鶯鶯姐推出的英文專輯「紅伶心事」大獲好評,
隔年趁勝追擊推出續集「紅伶心事2溫柔火戰車」,
放入許多大家熟悉的電影主題曲,如

「畢業生」的「Scarborough Fair」
「再見女郎」的「Goodbye Girl」
「神氣活現」的「Nothing’s Gonna Stop Us Now」
「早安越南」的「What A Wonderful World」

都是大家耳熟能詳的名曲

兩張專輯的主打歌,都是將音樂配樂加上歌詞的創新版本,
「似曾相識」的經典配樂「Somewhere in Time」,
「火戰車」的立志音樂寫成「Race to the End」,
讓經典音樂有了新的面貌,這也是這兩張專輯受到肯定的原因之一

演唱會應該會唱「Somewhere in Time」,相當期待



Somewhere in Time(作詞:Belinda Foo 作曲:John Barry )
1989「紅伶心事」專輯

Somewhere In Time (似曾相識)

Lyrics:Belinda Foo
Music:John Barry
Arranger:藤田大士

Somewhere in time
You came into my world
Love was beyond what I imagined love would be
Now just a dream
I hold till the end of time
Hoping someday we'll find what we left behind

There'll come a day
Our paths will meet again
We'll cross the bridge of time and space to a love that's free
No more goodbye
No lonely waiting
That'll be our day to love,to live all our dreams


If we believe and keep alive
The hope that love will stand the test of distance and time
Then we shall find our new tomorrow
Somewhere in time

Someday there'll be no time between us
There'll just be endless days for us to love and share
We'll rise above the tears of our lonely years
Into a world beyond today
In another somwhere
(☆)



Race to the End(作詞: Jon Anderson 作曲:Vangelis)
1990「紅伶心事2溫柔火戰車」專輯


Race To The End
Taken From The Film'Chairots Of Fire'
Arranger:Ricky Ho

There is but one freedom
Man running along
Each Step that he's taking's A step to him soul

The passion and courage . It's takes to be there
The sprite of freedom
Alive in the air

whenever the running train awakes
To challenge to glory
He know that he can turn
The sky once more to unlock the soul

Let no man surround himself with pain
But use it to free him
THe game is to learn to live again
To try to the end

The way becomes clearer
The way is complete
The need that of winning
Admit no defeat

THe circles together
Hold hands to the sky
The freedom of running
The freedom to try
arrow
arrow
