Cry Me a River

Cassie前陣子迷上Ella的聲音，問我手邊有沒有值得推薦的西低。我馬上想起「Clap Hands, Here comes charlie」這張專輯，還有「Cry me a river」這首歌。為什麼是這首不是別首？我也說不出什麼道理，總覺得應該是副歌英文我都懂，總能跟上哼個兩句，因此最有印象。有點哀怨帶點哭音的唱法確實不是歡樂艾拉給人的印象。這張專輯是許多人推薦認識Ella的最佳入門西低，我個人認為美則美矣但總有點揮之不去的陰鬱感。Ella音域寬廣明亮的特色，在「Ella and Louis again」中反而有更好的表現。

這個「Cry me a river」版本雖不是Ella所唱，但非常有味道，值得聽聽。

Now you say you're lonely
You cry the long night through
Well, you can cry me a river
Cry me a river
I cried a river over you

Now you say you're sorry
For being so untrue
Well, you can cry me a river
Cry me a river
I cried a river over you

You drove me, nearly drove me, out of my head
While you never shed a tear
Remember, I remember, all that you said
You told me love was too plebeian
Told me you were through with me and

Now you say you love me
Well, just to prove that you do
Come on and cry me a river
Cry me a river
I cried a river over you
I cried a river over you
I cried a river…over you…

如今你說你孤寂
漫漫長夜哭到天亮
好吧，你就淚流成河
為我淚流成河
我曾經為你也淚流成河啊

如今你說你抱歉
過去曾如此不忠
好吧，你就淚流成河
為我淚流成河
我曾經為你也淚流成河啊

你逼我，幾乎逼得我精神錯亂
而你卻從來沒掉過一滴淚
別忘了，我記得你說過的每一句話
你說我的愛太微不足道
告訴我，你和我之間已經結束

而現在你卻說你愛我
好吧，證明給我看
來啊，為我淚流成河
為我淚流成河
我曾經為你也淚流成河
我曾經為你也淚流成河
我曾經為你也淚流成河啊
