すき焼き - Sukiyaki

晚饭吃了すき焼き, 又想起曇花一现的4PM让人百听不厌的那首"Sukiyaki". 但至今也没有明白这么哀伤的歌和吃的牛肉锅有何联系.

有很多歌手只唱了一首有名的歌就从歌坛消失了，所谓的one hit wonder, 4PM就是这样一支乐队. 他们原本是继Boyz Ⅱ men后，与All-4-one同期的一支黑人美声乐团。可是，当Boyz Ⅱ men还在继续奋斗, All-4-one也出了一张又一张专辑的时候, 4PM不知不觉中已经消失在我的视线中，留在耳畔的只有他们那唯一的专辑《"Now's the time》及其中经典的翻唱曲"Sukiyaki"。

曲是日本的曲, 只不过重新填了词, 但为何要命名为 "Sukiyaki"呢?

或许, すき焼き是他的最爱的食物;
或许, すき焼き是某个纪念日中他们的外食;
或许, すき焼き是她为他做的第一道菜;
或许, 他的名字叫"Yaki";
或许,........

听着Sukiyaki, 再吃着すき焼き, 心理百转千回, 竟不知其味, 真是浪费了那么好的雪花牛肉了.


4PM - Sukiyaki

It's all because of you
I'm feeling sad and blue
You went away
Now my life is just a rainy day
And I love you so
How much you'll never know
You've gone away and left me lonely

Untouchable memories
Seem to keep haunting me
Another love so true
That once turned all my gray skies blue
But you disappeared
Now my eyes are filled with tears
And I'm wishing you were here with me

Soft with love are my thoughts of you
Now that you're goneI just don't know what to do

*If only you were hereYou'd wash away my tears
The sun would shine once again
You'd be mine all mine
But in reality, you and I will never
be'Cause you took your love away from me

Girl, I don't know what I did to make you leave me
But what I do knowIs that since you've been gone
There's such an emptiness inside
I'm wishing you'd come back to me (*)

Oh, baby, you took your love away from me
