Rowena Cortes 露雲娜 – Very, Very．You Can Have Him (1969)

2009年10月末，我們目睹了闊別香港流行樂壇廿多年的露雲娜 (Rowena Cortes)，以神秘嘉賓身份，出現於她昔日好友賈思樂 (Louie Castro)舉辦的「弦續友情30載音樂會」中。翌年8月，她更與陳奕迅 (Eason Chan)合灌了一曲"講男講女"、及在其澳門演唱會中任表演嘉賓；其後並曾接受某報章娛記訪談時，透露她正積極減肥，為復出再戰樂壇作好準備云...

猶記筆者於數年前，也曾在本網誌內，載上了一篇露雲娜於70年代中、為好市(House Records)公司效力時的灌唱歌曲貼文。這回再把時光倒流多一點至1968年，就是當年僅得5歲的她，參加了由英文星報(The Star)主辦的天才新秀歌手大賽(Talent Quest)，憑着一曲Desmond Mayne的作品"Very, Very"，一舉擊敗眾多的強勁對手，包括了數年前離世的著名電台DJ及音樂人陳任 (Joe Chen)，登上冠軍寶座。

1969年，她這奪冠歌曲被百代(EMI)公司灌成單曲唱片面世，為她往後成功踏上本地樂壇之路，奠下重要的里程碑。

You Can Have Him, I Don't Want Him,
He Didn't Love Me, Anyway.
He Only Wanted , Someone To Play With.
But All I Wanted, Was A Love To Stay.

Well If You Do Love That Old Fellow,
There's Only One Thing, That You Can Do.
Just Dig A Hole And, Get Back In It,
And Pull It Round Round, Over You.

And You Can Have Him, I Don't Want Him.
He Didn't Love Me, Anyway.
He Only Wanted, Someone To Play With.
But All I Wanted, Was A Love To Stay.

The More I Love Him, Up And Left Me.
He Run Away With, My Best Friend,
Comes Home At Night Just, For An Hour.
When Daylight Comes In, Gone Again.

All You Can Have Him, I Don't Want Him.
He Didn't Love Me, Anyway.
He Only Wanted, Someone To Play With.
But All I Wanted, Was A Love To Stay.

Life Without Lover, Is Mighty Empty,
But Confession's Good, For The Soul.
I'd Rather Have Love, That I Can Cling To,
Than Have The World And All Of It's Good.

All You Can Have Him, I Don't Want Him.
He Didn't Love Me, Anyway.
He Only Wanted, Someone To Play With.
But All I Wanted , Was A Love To Stay.

All You Can Have Him, I Don't Want Him.
He Didn't Love Me, Anyway....
