创作背景
为纪念组团五周年,
Westlife发挥翻唱功力,选择BMG公司史上首支冠军曲、“情歌祖师爷”巴瑞·曼尼洛(BarryManilow)1975年轰动英美的冠军歌曲《Mandy》作为主打歌,显示了乐队对传统的了解、认知与致敬。Barry的演绎相当到位,所以当

歌词
I remember all my life
Raining down as cold as ice
Shadows of a man
A face through a window
Crying in the night
The night goes into
Morning,just another day
Happy people pass my way
Looking in their eyes
I see a memory
I never realized
How happy you made me oh Mandy
Well you came and you gave without taking
But I sent you away,oh Mandy
Well you kissed me and stopped me from shaking
And I need you today,oh Mandy
(music)
I'm standing on the edge of time
I've walked away when love was mine
Caught up in a world of uphill climbing
Tears are on my mind
And nothing is rhyming,oh Mandy
Well you came and you gave without taking
But I sent you away,oh Mandy
Well you kissed me and stopped me from shaking
And i need you today,oh Mandy
(music)
Yesterday's a dream I face the morning
Crying on a breeze
The pain is calling,oh Mandy
Well you came and you gave without taking
But I sent you away,oh Mandy
Well you kissed me and stopped me from shaking
And I need you today,oh Mandy
You came and you gave without taking
But I sent you away,oh Mandy
You kissed me and stopped me from shaking
And I need you
Oh Mandy won't you listen to what I've got to say
Oh baby don't let me throw it all it away
Oh Mandy won't you listen to what I've got to say
And I need you today...
Oh Mandy...
中文译词:
回首往事
雨下的冰冷
一个人的背影
目光透过窗台
在黑暗中哭泣
穿过黑暗
早晨,又是新的一天
快乐的人走过的我的面前
在他们的眼中看到
我看到一段记忆
我从来没有意识到
你让我变得多么快乐 mandy
你来帮助我却不求回报
但是我却让你离去 mandy
你轻吻我让我不再颤抖
我现在需要你,mandy
(音乐)
我站在时间的边缘
当爱来时我却走开
继续攀登世界的高峰
眼泪在我心中
所有事都不正常,mandy
你来帮助我却不求回报
但是我却让你离去 mandy
你轻吻我让我不再颤抖
我现在需要你,mandy
(音乐)
昨天是一个梦,我面对今天
泪水随风飘扬
隐隐作痛,mandy
你来帮助我却不求回报
但是我却让你离去 mandy
你轻吻我让我不再颤抖
我现在需要你,mandy
你来帮助我却不求回报
但是我却让你离去 mandy
你轻吻我让我不再颤抖
我现在需要你!
mandy,你难道不想听我要说什么?
宝贝,不要让我失去一切
mandy,你难道不想听我要说什么?
我现在需要你...
mandy!......
