小時候,印象中每逢下雨天的晚上,就有機會在收音機傳來這首歌 ~ Tiger in the rain。
那時不懂得歌詞,即是現在也沒有細嚼歌詞,只係覺得很旋律優美,聽得舒服!
小時候,只懂得Tiger in the rain就是老虎在雨中的意思,但會幻想這首歌的故事是:
有一隻小老虎,很貪玩,常常走出外玩,所以令父母常常擔心找牠;終於有一天,牠又走去玩,遇上狂風雷暴,驚慌失措之下,走入森林,迷路,然後哭泣,牠的媽媽非常擔心,到處找牠,之後在森林找到牠⋯⋯⋯
當然,這首歌的歌詞和我作的故事是不一樣!
Most of the time He's the lord of the jungle Everyone grins while he gripes Usually he's found just Lounging around in his stripes His tiger lady's A superfine feline Just what his highness deserves A sweet purring pussycat Proud of her pussycat curves He's a tiger in the rain It's the thunder and lightnin' He can't explain A tiger in the rain Who's frightened Caught in the storm he came Searching for shelter Right up to me and my spouse Both stroked his chin and Invited him into the house He's a tiger in the rain It's the thunder and lightnin' He can't explain A tiger in the rain Who's frightened
翻查紀錄,這首歌於1979年推出,由Michael Franks 唱的,是屬於爵士樂。
現在,再聽這爵士音樂,仍是好享受的一件事,最好在配合著看本書、小說、和嘆著一杯熱咖啡或熱朱古力!
當然,最好是沱沱大雨下聽,更浪漫!
