Mavis's Story

「星期天的早晨   一杯咖啡   一張沙發  一首Corinne Bailey Rae」
這是官方網頁打的廣告口號
用這樣的感覺來描述她的聲音, 再貼切不過了
悠閒的週末, 在家裡放張Corinne Bailey Rae的CD
空氣瀰漫著快要溶化的慵懶
舒服地讓人哪都不想去
英國廣播公司BBC用「讓人立刻溶化、難以置信的完美聲音」
林憶蓮用「如沐清泉般沁涼舒暢」來形容Corinne Bailey Rae的聲音
下了班後,  一天的疲累
在聽到她的音樂後, 就像做完Spa....連精神都得到了解放
首支單曲<Put Your Records On> 的MV
Corinne Bailey Rae用聲音帶我們和她一起到南非開普敦
聽她渾然天成的嗓音,
 好似自己也身在南非, 享受著午後陽光、寬廣草原、湛藍天空與翠綠山脊


一起來享受她的聲音吧!!













〈Put Your Records On〉中英歌詞 

three little birds sat on my window　窗邊飛來 了三隻小雀
and they told me i don't need to worry　它們似乎告訴我要好好放輕鬆
summer came like cinnamon, so sweet.　夏天的味道像肉桂香般  如此甜美
little girls double-dutch on the concrete　看著大街上女孩們開心的玩著跳繩
 
maybe sometimes,　也許   有時候
we've got it wrong but it's alright. 　做自己其實也沒什麼不好啊
the more things seem to change,　 物換星移
the more they stay the same.　 但舊愛還是最美
ooo, don' t you hesitate.　 好啦  別再胡思亂想了
 
girl put your records on,　 女孩 點一首歌吧
tell me your favourite song.　告訴我妳最愛哪一首歌
you go ahead let your hair down.　讓自己心情隨風飛揚吧
sapphire and faded jeans,　穿上妳最愛的褪色牛仔褲
i hope you get your dreams.　 祝妳美夢 成真
just go ahead let your hair down.　 讓心像風箏般隨風飛
 
you're going to find yourself somewhere, somehow.　 學會多愛自己一點吧
 
blue as the sky,　藍藍 的天空
sunburnt and lonely,　寂靜午後的暖暖陽光
sipping tea in a bar by the roadside.　 在路邊啜著茶
just relax, just relax.　讓心像風箏般隨風飛吧
don't you let those other boys fool you.　再也別聽那些男孩們胡說八道
got to love that afro hair do.　要學會愛上妳那純真可愛的黑人頭
 
maybe sometimes,　也許   有時候
we feel afraid but its alright.　你會覺得自己與眾不同 但那又如何呢？
the more you stay the same,　妳愈忠於自我
the more they seem to change. 　大夥愈對你刮目相看
don't you think its strange?　妳不覺得這很奇怪嗎？
 
girl put your records on,　女孩 點一首歌吧
tell me your favourite song.　告訴我妳最愛哪一首歌
you go ahead let your hair down.　讓心像風箏般隨風飛吧
sapphire and faded jeans,　穿上妳最愛的褪色牛仔褲
i hope you get your dreams.　祝妳美夢 成真
just go ahead let your hair down.　讓心像風箏般隨風飛吧
you're going to find yourself somewhere, somehow.　學會多愛自己一點
 
twas more than i could take.　我也曾和你一樣
pity for pity's sake.　也曾自哀自憐
some nights kept me awake.　也曾痛苦失眠
i thought that i was stronger.　我想那讓我變得更堅強
when you going to realise　妳何時才會想通呢？
that you don't even have to try any longer?　別再苦苦掙扎
do what you want to.　勇敢的做自己 做你想做的吧
