乡村音乐大咖Tim McGraw Faith Hill夫妇合唱了这一首歌曲“The Rest of Our Life”,收录于2017年同名专辑中。他们合唱歌曲并不多,但各自演唱的好歌无数,比如,Faith Hill的电影歌曲“There You’ll Be” 传唱四方(2001年电影“Pearl Harbor”插曲)。雅虎新闻报道,就在上个月,Tim McGraw Faith Hill举行他们结婚27周年纪念仪式,夫妇养育了三个女儿,新闻中引用Tim McGraw夸奖自己孩子的话说:.“We couldn’t ask for better kids. They’re smarter than us in so many ways.” Yahoo News 10/27/2023)

 

我们知道,中文和英文有点不一样的地方就是,中文发音牵扯脸部肌组织较少,英语感觉说话有些“眉飞色舞”,表情丰富,可能是因为英文声音音节多,发声需要脸部配合,词的语义多少和脸部表情有某种关系。所以,微笑通常能够松驰脸部肌,英语(听起来、看起来)也流畅自然许多。说英文的见微笑,并不奇怪,有意或无意表达了一种善意或某种回避,反衬过来,也容易感到一些背后的情绪,简单地回一句:“I’ll be fine .” 的确,这不仅是一句简单温暖的口头禅。 

 

在歌曲“The Rest of Our Life”中歌词“I’ll be fine”重复很多次,它既表达了一种自我鼓励,又有安慰,当然不会是一种说辞,试图去隐藏自己真实情感。歌曲视频故事似乎暗示主人公对未来的担忧,表达了彼此珍重,坦诚相见,往事释怀,风雨同舟,“I’ll  be fine ”就像是一种彼此的承诺,我会好好的便是彼此最希望听到的话了。Tim McGraw Faith Hill夫妇用27年婚姻,把他们的生活浓缩在这歌里。

 

下面黑体字的歌词有意思,俺试图去翻译表达它们的含义,不一定准确恰当,供参考。

 

共渡未来 the rest of our life) By Tim McGraw & Faith Hill

 

Sitting with you in a dark room(依坐无灯光的房屋里)

Warmed by a fireplace(壁炉暖着我和你)

You know there's just something about you(你如此让人着迷)

You brighten my day(有你夜不再黑)

I got something to run past you (难言之隐愿坦诚相见)

I just hope I say it right (心存你的通情达理)

So I take your hand and ask you(单膝下跪,你愿意吗)

Have you made plans for the rest of your life? (未来余生想怎样渡过?)

There's one thing I should be killing off and giving up now(人无完人,共同成长)

And that's worryin' about life(人世浮华,世事难料)

Oh, I'll be fine(噢,我会好好的)

If one gray hair shows, I'll be fine (哪天白了发,我会好好的)

If my waistline grows, I'll be fine (哪天粗了腰,我会好好的)

Even if time takes its toll (即使海枯石烂,我心依旧)

We'll stay young for the rest of our lives(余生的岁月将依然年轻)

(女)

I've been making plans for children(一直想要孩子)

Since I've been looking in your eyes (从你的眼神里看到同样的期待)

I even have names picked out for them(名字已想好了)

Daughter'd be Rose (女孩就叫

Son it'd be Ryan (男孩就叫

 

 

(重复)

There's one thing I should be killing off and giving up now

And that's worrying about life

Oh, I'll be fine

If one gray hair shows, I'll be fine

If my waistline grows, I'll be fine

Even if time takes its toll 

We'll stay young for the rest of our lives 

 

 

I don't really care about those storm clouds brewing (无畏乌云翻腾)

Oh, as long as you're here by my side (噢,只要你在我身旁)

Oh, we'll be young, oh we'll be young  (噢,青春永驻,噢,青春永驻)

Oh, we'll be young, when we're old (噢,岁月无情,青春永驻)

(重复)

Oh, I'll be fine

If my gray hair shows, I'll be fine

If my waistline grows, I'll be fine

Even when time takes its toll

I'll stay young for the rest of my life

With you, I'll stay young for the rest of my life

With you

We'll stay young for the rest of our life
