Careless whisper(无心快语)是Wham!(威猛乐队)在1984年发行的一首单曲,推出后立刻受到听众力捧,在25个国家排行榜登顶,单曲销量六百万张。邓丽君、梅艳芳、苏永康、杜德伟以及谢霆锋等港台歌手都曾经翻唱过这首歌,由此可见其受欢迎程度。今天,小编拿这首歌出来不光是为了怀旧,还是因为最近在欧美热映的影片《死侍》(Dead Pool)在结尾时也用到了这首歌,我们就一起应个景吧!
Wham: Carelss Whisper
Time can never mend
The careless whisper of a good friend
To the heart and mind
If your answer's kind
There's no comfort in the truth
Pain is all you'll find
I should have known better, yeah
时间永远无法治愈
好友的无心快语
带来的伤害
你的回答是善意
可真相并不宽慰
你得到的只是痛苦
我早该知道
I feel so unsure
As I take your hand and lead you to the dance floor
As the music dies
Something in your eyes
Calls to mind a silver screen
And all its sad goodbyes
我毫无把握
我牵着你的手走入舞池
音乐停止
你的眼神
让我想起电影
还有片中伤感的告别情景
I'm never gonna dance again
Guilty feet have got no rhythm
Though it's easy to pretend
I know you're not a fool
I should have known better than to cheat a friend
And waste a chance that I'd been given
So I'm never gonna dance again
The way I danced with you
我不会再跳舞
愧疚的双足已无旋律感
欺骗并不难
可我知道你并不傻
我早该知道,不该骗你
浪费了难得的机会
以后不再跳舞
不会再像你我这样跳舞
Time can never mend
The careless whisper of a good friend
To the heart and mind
If your answer's kind
There's no comfort in the truth
Pain is all you'll find
时间永远无法治愈
好友的无心快语
带来的伤害
你的回答是善意
可真相并不宽慰
你得到的只是痛苦
我早该知道
I'm never gonna dance again
Guilty feet have got no rhythm
Though it's easy to pretend
I know you're not a fool
I should have known better than to cheat a friend
And waste a chance that I'd been given
So I'm never gonna dance again
The way I danced with you
Never without your love
What am I without your love?
我不会再跳舞
愧疚的双足已无旋律感
欺骗并不难
可我知道你并不傻
我早该知道,不该骗你
浪费了难得的机会
以后不再跳舞
不会再像你我这样跳舞
没有你的爱,不会再跳舞
没有你的爱,我是谁?
Tonight the music seems so loud
I wish that we could lose this crowd
Maybe it's better this way
We'd hurt each other with the things we want to say
今夜音乐似乎很吵
希望我们能逃离人群
或许这样也好
我们都用言语伤害了对方
We could have been so good together,
We could have lived this dance forever
But now, who's gonna dance with me?
Please stay
我们在一起该会很好
我们本可以一直这样跳下去
如今,谁还会与我共舞?
请别走
I'm never gonna dance again
Guilty feet have got no rhythm
Though it's easy to pretend
I know you're not a fool
I should have known better than to cheat a friend
And waste a chance that I'd been given
So I'm never gonna dance again
The way I danced with you
我不会再跳舞
愧疚的双足已无旋律感
欺骗并不难
可我知道你并不傻
我早该知道,不该骗你
浪费了难得的机会
以后不再跳舞
不会再像你我这样跳舞
Now that you're gone
Now that you're gone
Now that you're gone
What I did that was so wrong
So wrong that you had to leave me alone
你已离开
你已离开
你已离开
我犯了这样的错
错到已无法挽回你
威猛乐队由两位小学时代的好友组成,他们是乔治·迈克尔(George Michael)和安德鲁·维治利(Andrew Ridgeley)。 从小他们便热衷于音乐。高中毕业后,他们失业在家,但这也使得他们能更加致力于歌曲的创作。1982年,他们写了一首描述英国青年人中失业状况的歌曲《威猛轻敲》(《Wham Rap》),并以此获得了唱片公司的合约和公众的注意。不久,威猛的名字就开始出现在英美两地的流行歌曲排行榜上。
1984年,WhaM!乐队推出了它的第二张唱片专辑《Make it Big》,其中就有这首《Careless Whisper》。唱片推出后大受欢迎,有3个星期位居美国Billboard排行榜榜首,连续18个星期进入排行榜前10名。
