Shirley Bassey - Diamonds Are Forever
Diamonds are forever,
(鑽石恆久遠)
They are all I need to please me,
(有了它們 我便心滿意足)
They can stimulate and tease me,
(它們不會刺激我 取笑我)
They won't leave in the night,
(它們不會在半夜離開)
I've no fear that they might desert me.
(我無需擔心它們會棄我而去)
Diamonds are forever,
(鑽石恆久遠)
Hold one up and then caress it,
(將一顆握在手中把玩)
Touch it, stroke it and undress it,
(觸碰它 輕撫它 剝去外表)
I can see every part,
(我可以清楚看見每一個細節)
Nothing hides in the heart to hurt me.
(它的心裡沒有藏著能傷害我的東西)
I don't need love,
(我不需要愛)
For what good will love do me?
(愛情於我有何好處?)
Diamonds never lie to me,
(鑽石不會向我說謊)
For when love's gone,
(當愛離去時)
They'll luster on.
(它們依舊會閃爍)
Diamonds are forever,
(鑽石恆久遠)
Sparkling round my little finger.
(在我指尖流轉著光芒)
Unlike men, the diamonds linger;
(和男人不同 鑽石不會殞滅)
Men are mere mortals who
(男人不過是血肉之軀的凡人)
Are not worth going to your grave for.
(不值得你為他賣命赴死)
I don't need love,
(我不需要愛)
For what good will love do me?
(愛情於我有何好處?)
Diamonds never lie to me,
(鑽石不會向我說謊)
For when love's gone,
(當愛離去時)
They'll luster on.
(它們依舊會閃爍)
Diamonds are forever, forever, forever.
(鑽石是永遠的 永遠的 永遠的)
Diamonds are forever, forever, forever.
(鑽石是永遠的 永遠的 永遠的)
Forever and ever.
(永遠 永遠)
簡介+心得: 這部電影是小康正式發行的最後一部 007 電影,歌曲是我心目中永遠第一名的 James Bond 演唱曲! Shirley Bassey 小姐把 "Goldfinger" 唱活之後,這回又將血腥鑽石的魔力發揮得淋漓盡致。這首歌該有的靈魂元素一滴也不少: 好編曲 + 好歌詞 + 好歌手。尤其是歌詞 - 不看 "Goldfinger" 就不知道誰是金手指,但不看 "Diamonds are Forever" 也知道女人愛鑽石,不然廣告為什麼要打 "鑽石恆永遠 一顆永流傳"? >o<
讓我很意外的一點是,我在<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diamonds_Are_Forever_%28film%29" target="_blank">wiki</a>上找資料時看到,編曲者 John Barry 當初在錄音時跟 Shirley Bassey 說 "想像你是在唱關於男人的命根子!"
