说起这首歌的源起,也有一个让人动容的故事——
在1996年,德国著名拳王Henry Maske为准备结束自己具有传奇生涯的运动经历而筹备了一场告别拳赛,他特意找到自己非常钟爱的歌手Sarah Brightman,邀请她在自己的告别赛上进行演唱。布莱曼欣然接受,而后经过精心筹划、挑选,最终选中了这首《Time to Say Goodbye》,而且布莱曼还请到波切利与自己联合演出。然而在当年11月份举行的拳赛上,Henry Maske却意外落败,令人感叹不已。而当此时《Time to Say Goodbye》动人心魄、感人至深的旋律响起时,当布莱曼和波切利开始倾情演唱时,此情此景令闻者无不动容!
而《Time to Say Goodbye》以及Sarah Brightman的名字,则深深印入听众们的心中。
后来有媒体甚至将之形容为“一个拳王传奇的告别造就了另一个音乐传奇”
Sarah: (莎拉)
Quando sono solo当我独自一人的时候When I'm alone
sogno all'orizzonte我梦见地平线I dream of the horizon
e mancan le parole没有阳光的房间里and words fail me
si lo so che non c'e luce也没有光线------- There is no light
in una stanza quando manca il sole假如你不在我身边in a room where there is no sun
se non ci sei tu con me, con me透过每一扇窗and there is no sun if you're not here with me, with me
su le finestre招展著我的心From every window
mostra a tutti il mio cuore我那已属於你的心unfurl my heart
che hai acceso你施予到我心中the heart that you have won
chiudi dentro me你在路旁Into me you've poured the light
la luce che所发现的光the light that you found by the side of the road
hai incontrato per strada
Time to say goodbye (Con te partiro) 是该告别的时刻了Time to say goodbye
paesi che non ho mai那些我从未看过Places that I've never seen or

it's time to say goodbye (con te io li vivro) 是该告别的时刻了
Andrea:(波切利)
Quando sei lontana当你在遥远他方的时候When you're far away

Andrea Bocelli从小就生活在一个热爱音乐的农业家庭中。家中人口众多,以种植葡萄和橄榄为生,安德烈的父亲桑德罗至今仍在自制他那小产量的“Chianti Bocelli”葡萄酒。拉亚蒂科靠近具有悠久音乐传统的名城塔斯卡尼,拉亚蒂科人都非常热爱音乐。波切利从6岁时开始学钢琴,随后又学长笛、萨克管,并且显露出惊人的音乐天赋,尤其在歌唱方面,小小年纪就对歌剧特别感兴趣。值得一提的是,波切利自小是一个弱视儿童,12岁时,一次踢足球的意外,使他双眼全盲,但他不自暴自弃,坚持学唱。
对,听他的歌,一定要听或看歌词,会发现更好听的!(另请注意,屏幕上有打出歌词的。)
本贴的67楼、69楼,已贴了演唱会其中的两首英文歌词。再贴上两个。
Take Me Home, Country Roads
Almost heaven, West Virginia
Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah River
Life is old there, older than the trees
Younger than the mountains, growing like a breeze
Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain mama
Take me home, country roads
All my memories gathered 'round her
Miner's lady, stranger to blue water
Dark and dusty, painted on the sky
Misty taste of moonshine, teardrop in my eye
Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, muntain mama
Take me home, country roads
I hear her voice in the mornin' hour she calls me
The radio reminds me of my home far away
And drivin' down the road I get a feelin'
That I should have been home yesterday, yesterday
Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain mama
Take me home, country roads
Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain mama
Take me home, country roads
Take me home, down country roads
Take me home, down country roads
This Road
This road winds down through the valley
Through the warm green meadows I call home
Turn around and it leads across the mountains
Where the wind keeps telling me to roam
Down this road there's a fire always burning
There's a place at the table set for me
It's the same road that leads way over yonder
Where there's such a lot of world I'd like to see
There's so much of this old world I long to see
Tell my momma not to worry
I couldn't bear to know I made her cry
Tell my poppa if you see him
I tried, but I just couldn't say goodbye
I long to see the places they call somewhere
It's been my dream ever since my life began
And someday when my wandering days are over
I'll be coming back this road
You'll see me walking down the road
I'll be coming back this road
A better man.
我儿子很喜欢肯尼 罗杰斯,觉得要比唱功、魅力,无人能及他左右。现在孩子对老歌喜欢的不多,他们比较偏爱摇滚还有18,19岁歌手唱的乡村音乐。比如我女儿喜欢
