Ellie, My Love

Ray Charles - Ellie, My Love

這首歌，第一次聽見應該 90 年左右 Ray Charles 與 B.B.KING 來台演唱時

 

應該是夏日的傍晚吧 !! 還記得去到國父紀念館時身上還都是白沙灣的海砂呢

一聽就愛上了這悲哀的歌，很適合在夜深人靜的夜晚聽。

原唱是南方之星所唱，但是我個人偏愛Ray Charles的版本，

比桑田佳佑多了一份感情

 

當 Ray Charles 唱Ellie的時候，思緒好像都掉到這首歌裡面。 

以下是英文歌詞

There were times I left your heart in pain

Time again I've turned and walked away

I get to where I'm going just to find

Won't be happy in this world

If you're not by my side

Ellie, my love so sweet



My heart told me to break away

Now I'm out here far away

Wish that I could hold you in the night

Then I'd wake up to a morning

That is warm and bright

Ellie, my love so sweet



Smile for me, won't you, baby

Forever you'll be on my mind

Drink with me won't you baby

We're gonna make it right this time

There's no one else like you

Anything you want, I'll do

Ellie, my love so sweet

Ellie, my love so sweet



My heart told me to break away

Now I'm here so far away

Wish that I could hold you in the night

Then I'd wake up to a morning

That is warm and bright

Ellie, my love so sweet



Smile for me, won't you, baby

Forever you'll be on my mind

Drink with me won't you baby

We're gonna make it right this time

There's no one else like you

Anything you want, I'll do

Ellie, my love so sweet

Ellie, my love so sweet



Smile for me, won't you, baby

Forever you'll be on my mind

Drink with me won't you baby

We're gonna make it right this time

There's no one else like you

Anything you want, I'll do

Ellie, my love so sweet

Ellie, my love so sweet
