這是Bette Midler演唱的The Rose
歌詞...(from http://www.tacocity.com.tw/abs1984/lyrics.htm)
Some say love, it is a river that drowns the tender reed 有人說愛是條河，容易將柔弱的蘆葦淹沒
Some say love, it is a razor that leaves your soul to bleed 有人說愛是把剃刀，會任由你的靈魂淌血
Some say love, it is a hunger, an endless aching need 有人說愛是種饑渴，一種無盡的帶痛的需求
I say love is a flower 我說，愛是一朵花
And you, it's only seed 而你，只是花的種籽
It's the heart afraid of breaking that never learns to dance 害怕破碎的心，永遠學不會跳舞
It's the dream afraid of waking that never takes the chance 害怕醒來的夢，永遠沒有機會
It's the one who won't be taken who can not seem to give 不願吃虧的人，不懂得付出
And the soul afraid of dying that never learns to live 憂心死亡的靈魂，不懂得怎樣去活
When the night has been too lonely 當夜顯得寂寞不堪
And the road has been too long 路途顯得無盡漫長
And you think that love is only for the lucky and the strong 當你覺得只有幸運者及強者才有幸得到愛
Just remember in the winter 謹記，在嚴寒的冬日裡
Far beneath the bitter snow lies the seed 酷雪的覆蓋下，躺著一顆種籽
That with the sun's love in the spring becomes the rose 一旦春陽臨照，就能幻化成一朵玫瑰
Some say love, it is a hunger, an endless aching need 有人說愛是種饑渴，一種無盡的帶痛的需求

這是Janis Joplin演唱的Summertime
很多人唱過這首老歌,我喜歡她的唱法
Summertime來自"Porgy & Bess"(乞丐與蕩婦)這齣黑人的爵士樂歌劇,
也是第一齣黑人的歌劇,Summertime在劇中是一首搖籃曲
歌詞...(from http://www.tacocity.com.tw/abs1984/lyrics.htm)
Summer time, and the living is easy 多麼悠閒的夏日時光啊！
Fish are jumping 魚歡欣的跳舞著
And the cotton is high 棉花田長得多高啊
Oh your daddy's rich 噢！你的爹地多富有啊！
And your mommy's good looking 你的媽咪長得多美啊！
So hush, pretty littly baby 噓──靜下來吧！漂亮的小寶貝
Don't you cry 別再哭哭啼啼了
One of these morning 某個早晨
You're gonna rise up singing 你將會引吭歌唱
Then you'll spread your wings 那時，你將振翅高飛
And you take the sky 有屬於自己的青空
But till that morning 直到那天早晨
There's nothing can harm you 沒甚麼可以傷害你
With daddy and mommy's standying by 爹地跟媽咪將守護著你啊！

這是Janis Joplin演唱的Mercedes Benz
歌詞...
Oh Lord, won't you buy me a Mercedes Benz ?
My friends all drive Porsches, I must make amends.
Worked hard all my lifetime, no help from my friends,
So Lord, won't you buy me a Mercedes Benz ?
Oh Lord, won't you buy me a color TV ?
Dialing For Dollars is trying to find me.
I wait for delivery each day until three,
So oh Lord, won't you buy me a color TV ?
Oh Lord, won't you buy me a night on the town ?
I'm counting on you, Lord, please don't let me down.
Prove that you love me and buy the next round,
Oh Lord, won't you buy me a night on the town ?
Everybody!
Oh Lord, won't you buy me a Mercedes Benz ?
My friends all drive Porsches, I must make amends,
Worked hard all my lifetime, no help from my friends,
So oh Lord, won't you buy me a Mercedes Benz ?
