第3章 我心永恒

每天夜里我梦见你,感觉到你。

就这样我知道你还好。

穿越你我之间的距离和空间,

你来告诉我你还好。

远,近,不管在哪里,

我相信这心将永恒。

再一次,你打开这门,

你来到我的心里,

我的心将永恒,永恒。

爱触击我们一次,便永远如此,

永不放松直到我们去世。

爱就是我爱你,一次便成终身。

在我们一生中永恒。

远,近,不管在哪里,

我相信这心将永恒。

再一次,你打开这门,

你来到我的心里,

我的心将永恒,永恒。

有你在,我什么也不怕,

我知道我的心将永恒。

我们就这样永远相爱。

你安全待在我心里,

我的心将永恒,永恒。

【注释与赏析】

这首歌是美国电影巨片《泰坦尼克号》的主题歌,由韦尔·杰宁斯作词,杰姆斯·奥纳作曲,加拿大歌星Celine Dion演唱,获1998年第70届奥斯卡最佳歌曲奖。这首歌曲调优美、激昂,歌词动人,深受世界各地青年喜爱,尤其风靡于各国大学校园。

1912年,在当时称得上有史以来最大的客轮“泰坦尼克号”从英国出发,首航横渡大西洋。这艘客轮曾被视为不会沉没的巨轮,因为即使是密封舱被破坏,其余的仍能照常工作。不料,4月14日,“泰坦尼克号”与冰山相撞,5个密封舱进水,开始沉没,船上1517名乘客遇难,幸存、获救者仅712人。这个故事多次被搬上银幕。其情节大致如下:一位穷酸青年画家杰克·杜信赌赢了一张船票,乘船回家。他在甲板上见一女子要跳海自尽,他劝阻成功,两人慢慢地产生好感,直到那女子罗丝以身相许。船沉之时,他们彼此把生的机会让给对方。最后,杰克冻死于冰海,罗丝获救。这部影片采用了罗丝回忆往事的倒叙手法。

主题歌“我心永恒”很有激情,内容感人,整首歌与电影中的音乐融为一体,使影片颇具感染力。我们既能听到这“不会沉没”的巨轮起航时气势磅礴的雄伟交响乐,又能听到巨轮撞上冰山时那种大跌大宕的旋律;既能感觉到恋人缠绵的柔情,又能感受到巨轮沉没时的悲哀。在Celin Dion最后几句近乎呐喊的高亢声中,我们听到的不仅仅是几行简单的歌词,而是令天地为之动容、令听众为之心颤的宣言书。Dion本人曾说:“在演唱时,我的心在颤抖,在流泪,几乎无法控制自己的声音。”

尽管《泰坦尼克号》描写了一个并不令人信服的爱情,不过这一曲“我心永恒”却是公认的旷世杰作并被反复传唱,愿世上每人都会得到“我心永恒”里面所表达的这种爱情。

Love Story

Where do I begin to tell the story

Of how great a love can be,

The sweet love story,

That is older than the sea?

The simple truth about the love,

She brings to me.

Where do I start?

With her first hello,

She gave a meaning,

To this empty world of mine.

There’ll never be another love,

Another time.

She came into my life,

And made the living fine.

She fills my heart.

She fills my heart.

With very special things,

With angel songs,

With wild imaginings.

She fills my soul with so much love,

That anywhere I go I‘m never lonely.

With her along,who could be lonely?

I reach for her hand.

It’s always there.

How long does it last?

Can love be measured

By the hours in a day?

I have no answers now,

But this much I can say:

I know I‘ll need her,

Till the stars all burn away,

And she’ll be there.

How long does it last?

Can love be measured

By the hours in a day?

I have no answers now,

But this much I can say:

I know I‘ll need her

Till the stars all burn away,

And she’ll be there.
