她的嗓音就像加州的天气,充满了阳光,但背后却又隐藏着这地震般强大的能量;这是加拿大著名的诗人歌手伦纳德科恩给珍妮弗华恩丝最与众不同的赞美,也真切地点出了这位多才多艺的演员、作家、歌手,之所以被美国流行乐坛公认为最伟大的女性艺人的重要特质。她善于糅合忧伤、喜悦、感怀与念旧等情绪的歌声,气氛就像一股超强的磁场,令人有难舍的迷恋。一首如此安静的歌曲,所谓爱情如此而已,翻译过来的名字让人嗟叹不已。爱情之于我们,到底意味着什么呢?Jennifer Warnes的演绎下呈现出一种淡淡的忧伤,却优雅无比,仿佛在看一场老电影,总是让人怀念!
In every heart there is a room
A sanctuary safe and strong
To heal the wounds from lovers past
Until a new one comes along
I spoke to you in cautious tones
You answered me with no pretense
And still I feel I said too much
My silence is my self defense
For every time I've held a rose
It seems I only felt the thorns
And so it goes,and so it goes
And so will you soon I suppose
But if my silence made you leave
Then that would be my worst mistake
So I will share this room with you
And you can have this heart to break
And this is why my eyes are closed
It's just as well for all I've seen
And so it goes,and so it goes
And you're the only one who knows
So I would choose to be with you
That's if the choice were mine to make
But you can make decisions too
And you can have this heart to break
And so it goes,and so it goes
And you're the only one who knows
每颗心里面都有个空间
如同庇护所坚固又安全
治疗着爱侣离弃的疼痛
直到另一个出现
我小心翼翼地与你交谈
你对我的回答坦诚相见
而我仍然觉得自己多言
我的沉默是自我的防范
而每一次我手握着玫瑰
我仿佛只感受到了荆棘
如是而已,如是而已
我想你不久也会如此
但若我的沉默令你离去
那将会是我最大的过错
因此我与你分享这空间
你又能够把这颗心撕破
这就是为什么我闭上双眼
只因我所见的一点一滴
如是而已,如是而已
而你是知道内情的唯一
因此我宁愿与你一起
假如能选择由我
但你也可以来作决定
让这颗心再度破碎
如是而已,如是而已
而你是知道内情的唯一
