我最喜愛憶蓮歌曲第19位: 微雨撲巴黎

One of my favorite tracks from the album. I remembered playing it over and over again on a foggy, drizzling winter day in San Francisco. The lyrics are so vivid and lush as if they are jumping out of a Van Gogh painting.

(AH PARIS.....MYSTERIEUSE!)

微微雨在撲 滿街給輕薄
迷濛裡視野 寥落是汽車
玻璃窗滿注滴汗
滿街不再似繁忙
人輪廓卻變得撲朔
茫茫裡自覺 我心輕飄泊
遺忘我暫借 濃烈熱咖啡
借一杯去放浪 ! 借一刻去懶洋洋 !
來尋索暢快的錯覺 !

心裡一切 (再) 放低
(一切) 不再有牽繫
這個錯覺攜著是我遠飛巴黎 !
心裡一切 (再) 放低
心裡一切 (再) 也綺麗......
人墮進這巴黎感覺 !

(JE T'AIME!)

微微雨在撲 滿花都灑落
迷人卻是這 流動著雨遮
汽車飛過我在望
險些把錯覺遺忘 !
回頭撲 再進這錯覺 !

[8] Home - Michael Buble

Composer: Foster-Gillies, Buble, Chang Lyricist: Buble

Another summer day
Has come and gone away
In Paris and Rome
But I wanna go home
Mmmmmmmm

Maybe surrounded by
A million people I
Still feel all alone
I just wanna go home
Oh, I miss you, you know

And I've been keeping all the letters that I wrote to you
Each one a line or two
"I'm fine baby, how are you?"
Well I would send them but I know that it's just not enough
My words were cold and flat
And you deserve more than that

Another aeroplane
Another sunny place
I'm lucky I know
But I wanna go home
Mmmm, I've got to go home

Let me go home
I’m just too far from where you are
I wanna come home

And I feel just like I'm living someone else's life
It's like I just stepped outside
When everything was going right
And I know just why you could not
Come along with me
'Cause this was not your dream
But you always believed in me

Another winter day has come
And gone away
In even Paris and Rome
And I wanna go home
Let me go home

And I'm surrounded by
A million people I
Still feel all alone
Oh, let me go home
Oh, I miss you, you know

Let me go home
I've had my run
Baby, I'm done
I gotta go home
Let me go home
It will all be all right
I'll be home tonight
I'm coming back home

曲: G. Guidry, C. Guidry 詞: 林振強 編: 倫永亮

在滴汗是我思想 若你今夜亦也一樣
請勿獨臥汗水上 Are you ready for love?
但願別要我空想 讓我生命劇烈地閃亮
帶我翻騰無涯熊火上 Are you ready for love?

Are you ready for love? 知否一生只等這夜 ?
知否此心太多空曠曠野 ?
若肯交出那些情之火 現在說吧

彼此的所等與所想 雖難形容和抽象
可能完全同一樣 Are you ready for love?
(Are you ready?)

別待夜半變清早 願你將靈魂完全祼露
掃去保留和回頭之路 Are you ready for love?

戀火燒我的中央 你今夜若亦是一樣
請用事實代想像 Are you ready for love?

Are you ready for love?

[7] 凝望 - 陳百強

When will I find that special someone in a sea of people?



作曲：陳百強 作詞：鄭國江 編曲：Chris Babida

不斷默默地尋訪 但覺這映象在我眼內搖幌
緣是沒法去尋覓 為妳尋找千萬趟
盼會遇著那憂鬱的眼光
心內混亂又迷惘 但覺我身畔像有兩道靈光
人潮內一再凝望 令我全身觸電了
我已遇著我欣賞的眼光

情 令我瘋狂
未可掩飾那份狂
現實盡變幻象
如墮進一張光的網
令我心閃亮
這憂鬱的眼光
幻想的她已在旁
靈魂傳過熱浪
情共愛終於得解放
滑進心窗內
這誘惑無力可對抗

情令我瘋狂
未可掩飾那份狂
現實盡變幻象
如墮進一張光的網
令我心閃亮
這憂鬱的眼光
幻想的她已在旁
從前完美幻象
能上怎麼可反抗

願意打開裡愛念凝望千百趟
願意打開裡愛念凝望千百趟

[6] 時の流れに身をまかせ - テレサ・テン 鄧麗君

曲：三木たかし 詩：荒木とよひさ

もしも　あなたと逢えずにいたら
わたしは何を　してたでしょうか
(What would I do if I can no longer be with you?)

平凡だけど　誰かを愛し
普通の暮らし　してたでしょうか
(I might meet someone and lead an ordinary life, would you be doing the same?)

※時の流れに　身をまかせ
あなたの色に　染められ
一度の人生それさえ　捨てることもかまわない※
(I do not mind that I succumb to the flow of time, and throw away my life as if I'm dyed by your color)

だから　お願い　そばに置いてね
いまは　あなたしか　愛せない
(Therefore I wish that I can be on your side and love you in my dream.)

もしも　あなたに嫌われたなら
明日という日　失くしてしまうわ
(If you abandon me I will lose my future altogether)

約束なんか　いらないけれど
想い出だけじゃ　生きてゆけない
(I don't need a promise, I only hope we can live a life together)

時の流れに　身をまかせ
あなたの胸に　より添い
綺麗になれたそれだけで　いのちさえもいらないわ
(I do not mind that I succumb to the flow of time, suffice to lean again you to live the rest of my life)

だから　お願い　そばに置いてね
いまは　あなたしか　見えないの
(Therefore I wish that I can be on your side and look at you)

(※くり返し)

だから　お願い　そばに置いてね
いまは　あなたしか　愛せない
(Therefore I wish that I can be on your side and love you in my dream.)

[5] 願我可以學會放低你 - 何韻詩

The melody is not my favorite, but the lyrics really nails it. Why can't I let go of him? Maybe my love has exhausted. Maybe nobody but he is worthy of this exhaustion.



曲:徐偉賢 詞:黃偉文 編:何秉舜@goomusic/英師傅

任我出去任我飛
遊蕩兩日又重踏這地
沒有牽掛就會死
難道我靈魂被你收起

自己都管不了自己
太多錯誤經已因你起
我都知　再找你
連幸福都要放棄

其實你有多好　到別處碰不到
至令我重返這條路
臨近晚節不保　卻行到這一步
難道天空海闊再無芳草

＊願我可以學會放低你
　就讓我重頭來過物色新知已
　望著你的臉如山水一般優美
　要走的我　總企在原地

　願我可以絕到踢走你
　但是我如何能拒絕張開的臂
　自問我可以贏你　但喜歡輸給你
　猶像你親於我自己
　我怎可以　一刀切下來　親手　傷你＊

其實你有多好　到別處碰不到
美麗到危險的程度
臨近晚節不保　卻行到這一步
沿路的山丘已化成焦土

[4] 鍊金術 - 楊千嬅

Unrequited love hurts more than betrayal.



曲︰伍樂城／RNLS 詞︰黃偉文 編︰伍樂城／RNLS

給我一團熊火試煉我
證明我這麼狠狠愛過
期望不多　只要得到過
你身旁　那寶座

給我一場洪水冷靜我
眼淚太多已匯聚成河
力竭聲嘶　請你喜歡我
什麼事都做過　都不能感動你麼

原來暫時共你沒緣份
來年先會變得更合襯
頑石哪天變黃金　我可以等
溶合二人是哪樣成份
但願虔誠能顯得吸引
用五十年溶化你　成就　金禧一吻

不夠激情仍可靠耐性
對付你的冷酷及無情
沉默假使都算種本領
我一定　最安靜

深信忠誠遲早會獲勝
那份固執終於都會被尊敬
如煉金般等你先轉性
除非遺失人性　怎可能一直結冰

頭白了　還在等　情人預約在黃昏

原來暫時共你沒緣份
來年先會變得更合襯
期待再苦再難堪　我都會忍
談情十年未晚不怕等
渡日如年仍覺得興奮
若最後能溶化你　何用　心急手震
