Fly me to the moon

之前聽過的 Fly me to the moon 都是從 Fly me to the moon 這句開始唱,Intro 這部分都是省略的。(所以這時候我並不知道,原歌詞有這一段) 後來我聽到 宇多田光 Wait and See 這張專輯的這首歌時, 便覺得奇怪,怎麼前面多了一段, 而以為 Intro 這一段歌詞是宇多田光寫的,直到某一天...

有天,我在 blog 上引用了一句話

Poets often use many words to say a simple thing.

我妹就問我是不是從 Fly me to the moon 抄來的, 我說歌詞是宇多田寫的,她「立刻」以卡通魔人的身份告訴我, 新世紀福音戰士 的片尾曲就是這首歌,我說我知道啊,但是妳有聽到我引用的這一句嗎? 當時的我肯定 Intro 這一段是宇多田寫的沒錯,直到看到了 這個 網頁。

...

我錯了,原歌詞中就有這段沒錯,只是我猜這一段在原作不是用唱的,而宇多田在重新編曲的時候, 把這一段歌詞搭上了旋律。 維基百科 所附的 mp3 連結就沒有 Intro 這一段,不過也聽起來也蠻有意思的。


Fly me to the moon - Composer: Bart Howard, Artist: Frank Sinatra

Intro:
Poets often use many words to say a simple thing.
It takes thought and time and rhyme to make a poem sing.
With music and words I've been playing.
For you I have written a song
To be sure that you'll know what I'm saying,
I'll translate as I go along.

Fly me to the moon
Let me sing among those stars
Let me see what spring is like
On Jupiter and Mars

In other words, hold my hand
In other words, baby kiss me

Fill my heart with song
Let me sing for ever more
You are all I long for
All I worship and adore

In other words, please be true
In other words, I love you
