About A Boy--很久以前的老片子，看過很多遍，因為是Hugh Grant演的，許多場景都是在倫敦拍的，又耐住性子重新看一遍. Killing me softly with his song這首歌在片中被唱了兩次，一次是Marcus為撮和其母親Fiona和Will，Fiona彈琴獻唱，一次是Marcus在學校演唱這首老歌以討母親歡心，Will怕Marcus在全校師生面前出糗，串場合唱了這首老歌。曾經很喜歡唱這首歌，雖然這首歌是美國黑人女歌手Roberta Flack唱红的，但我還是最喜歡聽美國歌手Perry Como唱的。他的嗓音溫柔又帶磁性，常讓我不自禁地沈醉在他的歌聲中，就像歌名一樣。
Killing Me Softly With His Song
Strumming my pain with his fingers
Singing my life with his words
Killing me softly with his song
Killing me softly with his song
Telling my whole life with his words
Killing me softly with his song
他彈出我內心的苦楚
他唱出我生命的感動
他的歌聲令我如醉如癡
他的歌聲令我如醉如癡
他娓娓地唱出我的心曲
他的歌聲觸動我的心弦
I heard he sang a good song.
I heard he had a style.
And so I come to see him
To listen for a while.
And there he was, this young boy
A stranger to my eyes.
Strumming my pain with his fingers,[strʌm]
Singing my life with his words,
Killing me softly with his song,
Killing me softly with his song,
Telling my whole life with his words,
Killing me softly with his song.
我聽說他天生有副好歌喉
我聽說他唱風別樹一幟
於是我慕名聆聽他的演唱
這個年輕又陌生的男孩
閃耀在我眼前
I felt I flushed with fever,[flʌʃt]
Embarrassed by the crowd.[ɪmˋbærəst]
I felt he found my letters
And read each one out loud.
I loved that he would finish.
But he just kept right on.
Strumming my pain with his fingers,
Singing my life with his words,
Killing me softly with his song,
Killing me softly with his song,
Telling my whole life with his words,
Killing me softly with his song.
我感到一陣躁熱
羞赧地躲在人群中
他讀了我的紙條,並逐句大聲朗讀
我寧可他趕快停止,但他卻持續地唸下去
He sang as if he knew me,
In all my dark despair.
And then he looked right through me
As if I wasn’t there.
And he just kept on singing,
Singing clear and strong.
Strumming my pain with his fingers,
Singing my life with his words,
Killing me softly with his song,
Killing me softly with his song,
Telling my whole life with his words.
Killing me softly with his song.
他的歌聲彷彿
洞悉我深沉的絕望
穿透我短暫的存在
完全無視我的存在
他仍不停地唱著,
清晰而響亮地唱著
He was strumming my pain
He was singing my life
Killing me softly with his song
Killing me softly with his song
Telling my whole life with his words
Killing me softly with his song

The “Killing Me Softly” Story
“Don McLean,” she said simply. “I saw him at the Troubadour in LA last year. (“And there he was this young boy / A stranger to my eyes”) I had heard about him from some friends but up to then all I knew about him really was what others had told me. But I was moved by his performance, by the way he developed his numbers, he got right through to me. (“Strumming my pain with his fingers / Killing me softly with his sond/ Telling my whole life with his words.”)
