好歌同享 -- First of May

今天，雖然“Rolling Stone”的米．積加（Mick Jagger）和他的樂隊都健在。但其他六、七十年代的樂壇重量級人物，將會逐一離開我們，這是無法改變的事實。“Bee Gees”的主音歌手，在抗癌中的羅賓(Robin Gibb)，還是逃不過要離開大家的命運，終年62歲。

“Bee Gees”由三兄弟組成的音樂組合，包括大哥巴里（Barry Gibb）、及雙胞胎羅賓（Robin Gibb）和莫里斯（Maurice Gibb）；2003年，Maurice的突然病逝，現在Robin又與癌魔抗爭失敗，三人已去其二，祇剩下大哥Barry。

七十年代，“Bee Gees”的作品是各地金曲流行榜的常客，電影“Saturday Night Fever/週末狂熱”的歌曲極受歡迎，更帶動了世界熱潮，但個人來說，他們在電影“Melody/兩小無猜”裡面的幾首精品如"Melody fair"，"In the morning"等才是最愛，當然，其他的好歌如"How can you mend a broken Heart"，"Words"，"Saved by the bell"，"How deep is your love"都不能不提。

說東說西，“Bee Gees”的作品中，這首才是至愛的東西，電影“Melody/兩小無猜”裡面的"First of May"。



First of May
Bee Gees
When I was small, and Christmas trees were tall,
we used to love while others used to play.
Don't ask me why, but time has passed us by,
some one else moved in from far away.

Now we are tall, and Christmas trees are small,
and you don't ask the time of day.
But you and I, our love will never die,
but guess we'll cry come first of May.

The apple tree that grew for you and me,
I watched the apples falling one by one.
And I recall the moment of them all,
the day I kissed your cheek and you were gone.

Now we are tall, and Christmas trees are small,
and you don't ask the time of day.
But you and I, our love will never die,
but guess we'll cry come first of May.

When I was small, and Christmas trees were tall,
do do do do do do do do do...
Don't ask me why, but time has passed us by,
some one else moved in from far away.
