Somewhere Over The Rainbow——Susan Boyle
歌曲简介
这首歌是非常经典的爵士音乐作品,曾经在多部电影中作为插曲出现,渲染温馨美好的氛围。
最早是出现在米高梅公司于1939年出品的童话音乐片《绿野仙踪》(the Wizard of Oz)。
在第12届奥斯卡颁奖典礼中,这部电影获得了最佳原创音乐和最佳歌曲奖。
《绿野仙踪》在开始时是黑白片,在小女孩进入梦境后变成了彩色画面,并配上《飞跃彩虹》的音乐,让许多人留下童年璀璨的回忆。
这首由哈罗德·阿伦(Harold Arlen)作曲的歌曲融合了流行音乐和美洲黑人音乐的风格,在片中由朱迪·嘉兰演唱,曾在排行榜首位达7周之久。此后还多次被人翻唱,被誉为最成功的电影歌曲之一。
1990年3月举行的第62届奥斯卡颁奖典礼上,当著名歌星戴安娜·罗丝(Diana
Ross)上台演唱这首半个世纪以前诞生的电影歌曲时,台下所有来宾,白发苍苍的老艺术家和初出茅庐的新秀们竟同声高唱,场面极为感人。

歌词
I don't wanna talk
About the things we've gone through
Though it's hurting me
Now it's history
I've played all my cards
And that's what you've done too
Nothing more to say
No more ace to play
The winner takes it all
The loser standing small
Beside the victory
That's her destiny
I was in your arms
Thinking I belonged there
I figured it made sense
Building me a fence
Building me a home
Thinking I'd be strong there
But I was a fool
Playing by the rules
The gods may throw a dice
Their minds as cold as ice
And someone way down here
Loses someone dear
The winner takes it all
The loser has to fall
It's simple and it's plain
Why should I complain.
But tell me does she kiss
Like I used to kiss you?
Does it feel the same
When she calls your name?
Somewhere deep inside
You must know I miss you
But what can I say
Rules must be obeyed
The judges will decide
The likes of me abide
Spectators of the show
Always staying low
The game is on again
A lover or a friend
A big thing or a small
The winner takes it all
I don't wanna talk
If it makes you feel sad
And I understand
You've come to shake my hand
I apologize
If it makes you feel bad
Seeing me so tense
No self-confidence
But you see
The winner takes it all
The winner takes it all...
