《montage》1996-9-15
my way
And now, the end is near,
现在,终点已经靠近,
And so I face the final curtain,
于是我要面临人生最后的落幕,
My friend, I'll say it clear,
我的朋友,我会说个清楚,
I'll state my case, of which I'm certain,
我会讲述我的人生之路,
I've lived a life that's full,
我度过了一个充实的人生,
I've traveled each and every highway,
我经历过艰难险阻的路途,
And more, much more than this,
但是,更重要的是,
I did it my way,
我走自己的路,
Regrets, I've had a few,
遗憾,我也曾有过一些,
But then again, too few to mention,
但是不值一提,
I did what I had to do,
我做了该做的一切,
And saw it through without exemption,
回想起来也不求赦免,
I planned each charted course,
我规划过每一次行程,
Each careful step along the byway,
每一个精细的步伐,
And more, much more than this,
而更重要的是,
I did it my way,
这是我的人生,
Yes, there were times I'm sure you knew,
是的,有过那么几次,
When I bit off more than I could chew,
我背负不能承受之重,
But through it all, when there was doubt,
但自始至终,就算充满疑惑,
I ate it up and spit it out,
我还是克服困难战胜了它,
I faced it all and I stood tall,
我勇敢面对且不曾低头,
I did it my way,
因为我要过自己的人生,
I've loved, I've laughed and cried,
我曾经爱过笑过哭过,
I've had my fill; my share of losing,
我曾经满足也曾经失落,
And now, as tears subside,
现在,当泪水消逝,
I find it all so amusing,
我发现一切都能坦然面对,
To think I did all that,
回想我所做过的一切,
And may I say - not in a shy way,
我毫不羞愧的说,
"No, oh no not me",
我没有虚度,
I did it my way",
我走自己的路,
For what is a girl, what has she got?
一个女孩她拥有什么,
If not herself, then she has naught,
除了她自身,她就一无所有,
To say the things She truly feels,
说出真实感受,
And not the words of one who kneels,
而不是身不由己的话,
The record shows I took the blows,
时间会证明我经历的一切,
I did it my way,
我的生活,
yes,it was my way,
对,这就是我的一切。
《燕尾蝶》电影海报
电影中这首歌的演唱者是YEN TOWN BAND,这个乐队在现实中其实并不存在,是音乐制作人小林武史为电影虚构的乐团。乐队的专辑《MONTAGE》中的曲目,也都是电影中出现过的歌曲,全部都由该片的主演chara演唱。当年Chara也因该片获得日本电影大赏的最佳女主角奖;而专辑中的另外一首歌曲《Swallowtail Butterfly》(《 爱之歌》),也创造了超过百万的销售佳绩,成为chara另一首重要作品。
chara本名佐藤美和,1968年生,从小便表现出过人的音乐天赋:4岁开始学习钢琴、小学一年级便创作了自己第一首歌曲、16岁玩band做起了键盘手、20岁签约sony、23岁发表第一张个人专辑《sweet》、24岁的第二张专辑《soul kiss》便获得当年日本唱片大赏的专辑新人赏。
其实在《燕尾蝶》之前,chara便参演了岩井俊二的另一部电影《梦旅人》,并跟剧中男演员浅野忠信因戏结缘。对的,就是年初《唐人街探案3》里面扮演日本坏探长的那位。
