歌名:Right Here Waiting
演唱者:Richard Marx
Oceans apart day after day海隔一方,日复一日
And I slowly go insane我开始恍惚
I hear your voice on the line你的声音在线可闻
But it doesn't stop the pain 但哪能消解心中愁闷
If I see you next to never 倘若此生不能相见
How can we say forever 何能誓说海枯石烂
Wherever you go 任凭天涯海角
Whatever you do 任凭天马行空
I will be right here waiting for you 此生为你守候
Whatever it takes 莫道付出天大代价
Or how my heart breaks 莫道我心破碎
I will be right here waiting for you 为你此地守候
I took for granted all the times 我曾一直笃信
That I thought I would last somehow 你我能共度良宵
I hear the laughter I taste the tears 我内心窃喜
But I can't get near you now 我孤芳自赏
Oh can't you see it baby 哦 亲爱的,你哪能不知?
You've got me goin' crazy 让我身心如此癫狂?
Wherever you go 凭天涯海角
Whatever you do 任凭天马行空
I will be right here waiting for you 此生为你守候
Whatever it takes 莫道付出天大代价
Or how my heart breaks 道我心破碎
I will be right here waiting for you 为你此地守候
I wonder how we can survive 好想知晓,如何安享此情此爱?
This romance 这种浪漫
But in the end if I'm with you 但倘若有一天能回到你的身边
I'll take the chance 我会奋不顾身
Oh can't you see it baby 哦 亲爱的,你哪能不知?
You've got me goin' crazy 让我身心如此癫狂?
Wherever you go 任凭天涯海角
Whatever you do 任凭天马行空
I will be right here waiting for you 此生为你守候
Whatever it takes 莫道付出天大代价
Or how my heart breaks莫道我心破碎
I will be right here waiting for you 为你此地守候
Waiting for you 为你守候
背景信息:
理查德·马克斯(Richard Marx)第一次巡回演出时,爱妻辛西娅·罗德斯去拍片已3个月,由于签证问题,理查德无法前去探望辛西娅,他感到非常郁闷。这时,他的朋友说:“你郁闷的时候会写出最好的歌曲。”于是,理查德坐在钢琴旁,在一种强烈的冲动下,只用了20分钟就写完了创作,这首歌成为了广为流传的经典情歌。在海湾战争期间,这首歌在美国成了亲朋分别时相互告慰、互祝平安的歌曲。这首歌传唱不衰,颂扬真情的永恒。
