陶醉的六七十年代情懷: 張金明

認識這位昔日東洋流行樂壇天皇巨星的沢田研二Kenji Sawada，不是因鄭少秋曾於1979年無線電視翡翠台「歡樂今宵」節目中模仿他在舞台上的做型、及以粤語改編版"Oh! Gal"演繹了他原唱的"Oh! ギャル"，也不是The Wynners 温拿樂隊於1976年收錄了他原唱的"時の過ぎゆくままに"之英語版"4:15 ( Part Of The Game)"，而是早於1975年初、從港澳各廣播電台中聽來了由Kenji首唱的"Fugitive Kind"及同期稍後的"I Was Born To Love You"。嘩！日本歌手也懂唱英語歌曲呀？那是鄙人當年頗簡單及膚淺的思維。

"Fugitive Kind"

This Story Is Of My Life
And It Cuts Me Like A Knife
‘Cause It Don't Read The Way That I Planned It.

When I Was Born, I Was Hooked
On Trouble Each Place I Looked
Though By Some Evil Iron I Was Branded.

Fugitive Kind...
Run With The Devil.

Trouble All The Time...Some Kind Of Rebel
But I'm No Different In My Mind
Heaven Help The Fugitive
Fugitive Kind.

Trouble Just Follows Me Round
And Then It Run Me To Ground
Well, Maybe You Just Can't Understand That.

And When It Does No One Help
So I Guess I Help Myself
And Baby, You Should Know That's Where I'm At.

Fugitive Kind...
Run With The Devil.

Trouble All The Time...Some Kind Of Rebel
But I'm No Different In My Mind
Heaven Help The Fugitive
Fugitive Kind.

Fugitive Kind.
Fugitive Kind.

Fugitive Kind.
Fugitive Kind.

"I Was Born To Love You"

It's Hard For Me, My Love
Every Time I See You Walking Down The Street
To Turn And Walk The Other Way
When Every Part Of Me Cries Out To Stay.

For I Was Born To Love You
Created To Think Of You.
My Destiny Is Here With You
And I've Tried My Best To See It Through.
For I Was Born To Love You.

And I’m Gonna Love You
(It's Hard For Me, My Love)
You Till The End
(Every Time I See You Walking Down The Street)
Though We're Just Strangers,
Now We’re Not Even Friends.
There's Nothing Left
(To Turn And Walk Away)
For Me To Say
(When Every Part Of Me Cries Out To Stay)
But Still I Just Can't Let It End This Way.

For I Was Born To Love You.
Created To Think Of You.
My Destiny Is Here With You
And I've Tried My Best To See It Through.
For I Was Born To Love You.

For I Was Born To Love You,
Created To Think Of You.
My Destiny Is Here With You
And I've Tried My Best To See It Through.
For I Was Born To Love You.

For I Was Born To Love You.
