Smile (For tribute to the Late "King Of The Pops" Michael Jackson)

200978日的零晨時分,筆者一如全球數以億計樂迷般,坐在電視螢幕前,觀看於洛杉磯Staples Center擧行的一代流行曲之王Michael Jackson追悼大會現場直播。在眾多著名樂手為紀念MJ而獻上他生平曾演譯的歌曲過程當中,筆者最為難忘的,就是由他兄長Jermaine Jackson演唱深情的一曲"Smile"......





這首MJ生前很喜愛的"Smile",是已故喜劇之王差利卓別靈(Charlie Chaplin)1936年製作的影片《摩登時代Modern Times》中的插曲作品,曾演譯該曲的著名或巨星級歌手或組合,可謂多不勝數,除MJ外,還包括了Nat King ColeNeil SedakaEric ClaptonSammy Davis Jr.Johnny MathisDean MartinTony BennettRod StewartJerry ButlerRoger WhittakerElvis CostelloMichael BubléEnnio MorriconeMantovaniBert KaempfertJudy GarlandTimi YuroSkeeter DavisPetula ClarkPeggy LeeRickie Lee JonesBetty EverettBarbra StreisandDiana RossDionne WarwickSandie ShawNana MouskouriAnne MurrayMaureen McGovernFerrante & TeicherSimply RedThe Lettermen....等。至於在華人樂壇層面上,多年來筆者只能找到僅有的一首演譯,同時說來也有點摸不着頭腦,那竟然是由一支我們可能預料不到的組合...七十年代的Jade玉石樂隊來擔綱,於1977年以輕快形式灌唱及收錄於他們最後一張的同名LP內。


Smile (Charlie Chaplin/Geoff Parsons/John Turner)

Smile Though Your Heart Is Aching.
Smile Even Though It’s Breaking.
When There Are Clouds In The Sky You Get By.
If You Smile With Your Fear And Sorrow.
Smile And Maybe Tomorrow.
You'll Find That Life Is Still Worthwhile.
If You Just

Light Up Your Face With Sadness (Gladness).
Hide Every Trace Of Gladness (Sadness).
Although A Tear May Be Ever So Near.
That's The Time You Must Keep On Trying.
Smile, What's The Use Of Crying?
You'll Find That Life Is Still Worthwhile.
If You Just

Smile Though Your Heart Is Aching.
Smile Even Though It’s Breaking
When There Are Clouds In The Sky You Get By.
If You Smile Through Your Fear And Sorrow.
Smile And Maybe Tomorrow
You'll Find That Life Is Still Worthwhile
If You Just Smile.

That's The Time You Must Keep On Trying.
Smile, What's The Use Of Crying?
You'll Find That Life Is Still Worthwhile.
If You Just Smile.

葉麗儀Frances Yip (EMI唱片年代‧外語歌曲)

葉麗儀Frances Yip於19701973年效力麗風唱片公司期間,共為後者灌錄了差不多廿張的外語及國語LP唱片,七吋Single及EP還未計算在內。雖然這數字在當年的港澳樂壇來說,已是+分驚人,但卻未能足以令葉麗儀攀上最頂級女歌手的層面。

Charing Carpio 查寧

七十年代中,祖籍澳洲的著名香港音樂人Noel Quinlan 陸昆倫,創立了好市唱片公司(House Records),並簽下了不少當時的本地新晉歌手及樂隊組合,Teresa Carpio 杜麗莎的胞妹:Charing Carpio 查寧就是其中的一位。




憑藉着她那帶野性的外型、及其時貴為本地流行樂壇天之驕女的胞姊Teresa Carpio之關係,Charing Carpio獲得不少在螢幕上演出及公開場合中的曝光機會。記憶中,她在無線電視(HK-TVB)曾參與演出的節目有〈杜麗莎特輯〉、〈青春熱潮〉、〈Bang Bang咁嘅聲〉等。此外,她在晚上還皆同家中的胞妹Sandy(已故)及堂妹Rita Carpio 韋綺姍,駐唱於一間當年位於尖沙咀嘉蘭圍及店名為「In Gear」的地窖酒廊內。平心而論,Charing的唱功絕對不差於其姊,一些由她來演譯的騷靈R&B風格歌曲,筆者尤其喜歡。可惜對比當年身處於樂壇黃金歲月中的Teresa,作為妹妹的Charing,其演藝事業生涯,就恍似只能長期活着在姊姊的陰影下。在無線電視經歷了一段半紅不黑的日子後,Charing於八十年代初曾轉往麗的電視(RTV)尋求發展。惟那時的本地樂壇,已逐漸走上了以粵語歌曲為市場主導的方向,慣常擅唱歐西歌曲的她,也只有無奈地呆看着潮流的轉變而淡出這圈子了。至於有關她的現況,相信要去查詢其姊Teresa Carpio才可知曉。

  

而好市唱片公司於1976年出版的《I'm On Fire》LP専集,就是Charing Carpio歌唱生涯中的唯一個人LP唱片専集。

I'm On Fire          (House Records - 1976╱PHLP 764)

鬥牛樂曲

於六十年代中或往後出生的港澳地區朋友,如曾嘗親歷鬥牛場館及觀看鬥牛比賽的滋味,那他或她當時必定是身處西班牙、葡萄牙或某些拉丁美洲國家的旅途中。然而若筆者那般在五十年代末成長的"後中生代",就可能曾幸運地毋須遠涉重洋前赴上述地方已可達成願望。19641965年間,澳門旅遊娛樂公司(S.T.D.M.),為兌現當年的澳葡政府批予其賭權後的一項"繁榮澳門及吸引外來遊客"承諾,特地分別舉辦了兩次的鬥牛比賽盛事,第一次是從葡國邀請數位著名鬥牛勇士到來演出的葡式鬥牛,第二次則是西班牙式及並有多位侏儒人仕參與的賽事,而所在場地就是現今位於新口岸區友誼馬路的總統酒店後部。記憶中,當年只得七、八歲的筆者及姐弟等由父母帶同,並與父母世交朋友及家人,一行十多眾前往觀賽,筆者還膽粗粗牽著父母友人的同齡小女兒兼同窗之手,一起坐在那由簡陋竹棚建成的看台上,學習欣賞該等古老的西方"人畜博鬥"玩意。惜這些恍似青梅足馬、兩小無猜的童年情誼感覺,隨著歲月的消逝,在筆者腦海中早已變得模糊多時了..........

場上的鬥牛比賽,一如西方國家其他節日活動的傳統慣例,悠揚的配襯樂曲固然是其中必不可缺的一部份,而"Spanish Gypsy Dance"及"The Lonely Bull (El Solo Toro)"也就是其中的兩首必然選曲。





Spanish Gypsy Dance

"España Cañi"是"Spanish Gypsy Dance"的原西班牙語同義名稱,樂曲由一位名為Pascual Marquina的西班牙樂隊領班約於1925年間作成,特意是用於其樂隊在鬥牛賽事中的演奏。而收編於1957年由著名拉丁音樂大師Edmundo Ros及其樂團灌錄的《Rhythms Of The South》LP內的此曲,可說是迄今最廣為中外樂迷熟識的演譯版本。其後的六十年代,亦出現了由瑞典樂隊The Spotnicks以當時最流行的電結他主音模式作演譯的版本。

Edmundo Ros & His Orchestra演譯的"Spanish Gypsy Dance"試聽版:



The Spotnicks1963年的現場演出Youtube MV版 :




The Lonely Bull (El Solo Toro)

妻子是著名女歌手Lani Hall、現年七十四歲出生於美國加洲洛杉機的猶太裔殿堂級音樂人、亦曾是唱片業行政高層、作曲家、唱片監製、歌手、及身兼其前領導樂隊The Tijuana Brass小號(喇叭)手的Herb Alpert,於1962年往墨西哥的Tijuana市參觀一場鬥牛比賽期間,從聽了一支由當地街頭樂隊奏出的樂歌及群眾發出的狂野回應噪聲而獲得靈感。回到了在家中車房自設的小型錄音室後,他把一首由其後亦是The Tijuana Brass成員一份子的Sol Lake的原作小曲"Twinkle Star",加編上了相符風格的小號伴奏及前述的相關群眾噪聲,藉以配合整體樂曲達至令聽者感到如身處其間的振奮氣氛。以"The Lonely Bull (El Solo Toro) "作為新的曲名及由Herb Alpert自掏腰包灌錄成唱片推出後,瞬獲廣泛電台DJ熱播,並攀上了當年最受歡迎流行樂曲榜的十大內,而自此他更與來自紐約的音樂推銷員Jerry Moss拍檔,組成了以他倆首個姓氏字母為名稱、及其後曾成為全球最大獨立唱片商的A & M Records。

Il Mondo /My World (Il Mondo)

數年前的某天,筆者在港島某處,偶然地聽到了一首英意雙語夾雜的男聲歌曲,腦海中頓然泛起一絲似曾相識的感覺,惜至曲終後卻未能記回這歌的有關資料。可幸的是在不久後的一次往某大唱片連鎖店購物,歸家後如常地把購來的唱片逐張放上收聽,其中一枚《Engelbert Humperdinck Gold》(雙唱片集)內的一曲"My World (Il Mondo)"竟欣然提供那份答案,它更使我拾回了當年喜愛這歌的美好回憶。

  

身兼演員、歌手及作曲三棲的意籍男藝人Jimmy Fontana與Gianni Meccia及Carlo Pes於1965年創作了"Il Mondo"這意大利語歌曲,並由前者灌唱。1966年,Decca唱片公司把該曲編成英語版,保留了Il Mondo兩字於整篇歌詞內及把歌名修改為"My World (Il Mondo)"後,交由剛以一曲"Release Me"竄紅英美樂壇的Engelbert Humperdinck作演譯,並收錄於其首張個人LP《Release Me》內。

記憶中,Engelbert Humperdinck主唱的"My World (Il Mondo)"在當年逕電台播放後,迅即廣受其時港澳流行樂迷的歡迎,並吸引了不少本地著名歌手及歌唱比賽的參賽者以此曲作演譯。從筆者的欣賞角度而言,除了喜愛這熟識的英籍歌手他那柔和及帶雄渾的唱腔外,整體歌曲的層次編排尤其出色,由平淡的前段演譯,瞬間爬升上全曲的高潮所在,往後卻又能巧妙地似的把那蕩氣迴腸之感延伸下去。

被網友上載至Youtube,由原唱者Jimmy Fontana演譯的"Il Mondo"灌唱及現場版:


No, esta noche amor no, yo no he pensado en ti
Abrí los ojos para ver en torno a mí, y entorno a mí giraba el mundo
Como siempre.

Gira, el mundo gira, en el espacio infinito,
Con amores que comienzan, con amores que se han ido,
Con las penas y alegrías de la gente como yo.

O mundo, llorando ahora yo te busco,
En el silencio yo me pierdo y no soy nada al verte a ti.

El mundo no se ha parado ni un momento,
Su noche muere y llega el día y ese día vendrá.

O mundo…

El mundo no se ha parado ni un momento,
Su noche muere y llega el día y ese día
Vendrá.

La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la.
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la.

Stay Beside Me, Stay Beside Me,
Say You'll Never Leave Me.
How I Love You, How I Love You,
How I Need You, Please Believe Me.
In Your Arms, I've Found My Heaven
And Your Lips Have Done Their Part.

Il Mondo,
Your Love Is All I Need In My World.
Let Tender Kisses Plead In My World.
How Could I Ever Live Without You?

Il Mondo,
My Heart Belongs To You, So Take It.
And Promise Me You'll Never Break It,
Say You'll Stay Here In My Arms.

Stay Beside Me, Stay Beside Me,
Say You'll Never Leave Me.
How I Love You, How I Love You,
How I Need You, Please Believe Me.
In Your Arms, I've Found My Heaven
And Your Lips Have Done Their Part.

Il Mondo,
Your Love Is All I Need In My World.
Let Tender Kisses Plead In My World.
How Could I Ever Live Without You?

Il Mondo,
My Heart Belongs To You, So Take It.
And Promise Me You'll Never Break It,
Say You'll Stay Here In My Arms,
Here In My Arms.

七十年代,"My World (Il Mondo)"也曾被香港女歌手葉麗儀(Frances Yip)及陸小雅(Juliana Luok)演譯灌唱,更曾被改編成由齊格飛(黃奇智)填詞、方逸華(Mona Fong)主唱及Los Mensajeros Del Paraquay伴唱 的華語+西班牙版本:"無言的情詩"。

啊....
月光輕輕照在樹林裏,
月下尋夢人兒再彈起,
愛情歌兒美麗卻又悲悽。

Gira Il Mondo Gira,
Nello Spazio Senza Fine.
Con Gli Amori Appena Nati,
Con Gli Amori Già Finiti.
Con La Gioia E Col Dolore
Della Gente Come Me...

我心裏,
也像有琴兒輕輕彈起,
那愛情歌兒霧樣神秘,
撩起了往日模糊情意。

舊情意,
卻偏是一首無言情詩,
像月光默默無語,
沉寂裏,添悲悽。

Il Mondo,
Soltanto Adesso Io Ti Guardo.
Nel Tuo Silenzio Io Mi Perdo.
E Sono Niente Accanto A Te.

Il Mondo Non Si è Fermato
Mai Un Momento.
La Notte Insegue Sempre Il Giorno.
Ed Il Giorno

La La La La La La La La La
La La La La La La La La La
La La La La La La La La La
A....moi....

2005年,新晉意籍男歌手Patrizio Buanne,也就是上述筆者於數年前某處聽來的男聲,以英意雙語夾雜形式重新演譯"Il Mondo",但這次其版本的名字卻被改成"Il Mondo (My World)",以下是他在某音樂會中演譯該曲的Youtube短片連結:
