Parlez-moi D'amour

Patrick Bruel - Entre-Deux (2002)



Parlez-moi d'amour

Paroles et Musique: Jean Lenoir 1930
Interprète: Lucienne Boyer


Parlez-moi d' amour
Redites-moi des choses tendres
Votre beau discourse
Mon coeur n'est pas las de l' entendre
Pourvu que toujours
Vous répétiez ces mots suprêmes
Je vous aime


Vous savez bien
Que dans le fond je n'en crois rien
Mais cependant je veux encore
Écouter ce mot que j'adore
Votre voix aux sons caressants
Qui le murmure en frémissant
Me berce de sa belle histoire
Et malgré moi je veux y croire


Parlez-moi d' amour
Redites-moi des choses tendres
Votre beau discourse
Mon coeur n'est pas las de l' entendre
Pourvu que toujours
Vous répétiez ces mots suprêmes
Je vous aime


Il est si doux
Mon cher trésor, d' être un peu fou
La vie est parfois trop amère
Si l' on ne croit pas aux chimères
Le chagrin est vite apaisé
Et se console d'un baiser
Du coeur on guérit la blessure
Par un serment qui le rassure


Parlez-moi d' amour
Redites-moi des choses tendres
Votre beau discourse
Mon coeur n'est pas las de l' entendre
Pourvu que toujours
Vous répétiez ces mots suprêmes
Je vous aime

大話西遊

作曲：廣東音樂
作詞：林夕
編曲：黃耀光

甲與乙君相識了　一眨眼十年　碰見面卻淺笑　心聲不敢上演
只歡喜不斷吐煙　掩蓋含羞面　情話假使當面說　最怕不自然
溫馨晚晚夢中染　孤枕晚晚夢中墊　無言相望　相望無言

時光不早分手又太早　天生瀟洒卻又怕枯燥　愛情事端總有被告
誰人沒情份　循例不俗套　談情像對稿言辭漸覺虛蕪
真的心那日見到　拿著地圖　身軀未老心漸老

誰是誰　是我親密良朋　從未愛得逼真　只可說甚吸引
永遠沒乘著暗黑　和我親一吻　但憑愛意相碰　不需緊抱便興奮
人是友人　是我親密良朋　常話愛得真心　怎可拒絕親吻
每次若談論理想　還覺不相襯　任憑兩腳走近　心境卻未拉近

甲在紅著眼　乙正低聲嘆　途人的雙眼在旁邊窺探
愛侶在街中徘徊和聚散　沿途將戀愛無聲展覽　
因此令迷離夜色加倍地璀璨　不管天氣暖或冷　不管景致已漸晚
此時　此情　怎能不全心尋找愛侶　大家已變了習慣

憂鬱的天氣無故的寂寥　飄忽的雨點下　情緒亦動搖
自問從沒有想與他重聚　無需思念樂得逍遙
我學會於深宵怎去渡每一秒　臨睡前收起和他的合照

童謠裡只需相愛便會長隨　 在銀幕裡在村落裡　眼淚跌墜簾幕在低垂　
每一對都登對　不必怨懟和負累　從當天佳偶共聚　從不因相處日久生厭
漫長愉快　但覺盟約一般不易粉碎

合與離　沒皺眉　別講一句對不起　冷冰愛情沒趣味
想遠飛　你便遠飛　不會奢想有轉機　也不費神落力責備
夜太涼　夢太長　夜深不應再思想　我的愛情是那樣
不妄想　也沒創傷　往日溫馨細心賞　記憶裡頭並未變樣

＊愛既是甘心　為何又嘆息
　要是情盡　要是緣盡　也不用　也不用　也不用煩悶
　你我如情深　為何沒安寧
　愛得太難過　愛得太陶醉 愛得太　愛得太　愛得太無理
　利害　對錯　一一不再理會
　日和月　笑和淚　已消失一切次序
　愛情難合理　不斷改編世情
　因此更豐富　因此更吸引　因此更疑惑　更刺激　更圓滿

人生於世上原來全為愛心歷險一趟　 不讓你反抗
總要於各樣浮沉離合愛海裡流浪
投身　凡間尋一本愛情理想經書　然後嘗盡愚弄與苦痛　取得正果
以身証道無後悔快樂無窮　彷似西游沒法可相信

The Perks of Being a Wallflower (少年自讀日記)

遠い昔のはつこいを、思い出した。

Cosmopolis (墮樂迷城 )

最精彩的 

是在電影的最後二十分鐘出現的那個角色

一個小人物

由Paul Giamatti飾演（即酒佬日記的那個男主角）

演得精彩！台詞精彩！Bravo！！

『世界除了別人之外 沒有別的東西了

這是我對人生的看法

我被這些別人圍繞著

人之間就是買賣關係

一起進餐，我會想：看看他們，再看看我自己

光透過我照在街上，我是透明的

我想到其他所有人 他們是怎樣成為他們那樣的人的？

是河堤還有停車場，

是機票還有他們的電腦，

是在擠滿喧鬧人群的餐廳裡交談的，

是那些簽單的人,

是那些把單子從文件夾裡拿出來 然後簽上字，

然後把顧客和商家分別保存的兩聯撕開，

然後把信用卡放回錢包裡。

就這一件事，他們就成為他們了。

我在他們那個對我毫無意義的制度裡好無助

他們想讓我變成無助的機器人士兵

But all I could be was helpless. 

我能做的 只是無助。

是女人的鞋，以及她們給那些鞋取的各種花花哨哨的名字

是所有那些在公園裡，在圖書館後面，或在陽光下交談的人！』

世界上居然有與我一樣 整部電影最欣賞這一段的人
他截下的部分 剛好是我上面寫的台詞！
一句不多 一句不少！！

Cheers!

Silver Linings Playbook (失戀自作業)

The only way you could meet my craziness was by doing something crazy yourself.

通常的電影劇情是這樣的：

關係已去到曖昧的男或女的某一方 

某情景下 誤以為對方另有鍾情對象

一剎那被失落擊中

恍如 本來精心打扮坐在溫暖乾淨氣氛祥和的餐桌上

一下子被推跌落至剛下過雨或正下著雨泥濘的地上

狼狽不堪，無處可去 一個人漫無目的在街上狂奔

然後 突然間另一方會追出來（通常導演會安排被追的那個要跑得更快：D）

一把抓住他或她

失意的那一個通常會作努力掙脫狀同時伴以憤怒地咆哮：

放開我 或 讓我一個人靜靜 。。。。。。諸如此類

然後被誤解的那一個會抱緊她或他

說 其實 我愛你 或妳

本片雖然精彩但仍逃不出以上的屎橋。

人人都以為 失落的人之所以跌倒

是被別人的傷害所擊中

其實 她只是被自己打倒！

假如妳曾被妳愛的 妳信的 人背叛過

妳最恨的 是妳自己 而非背叛妳的那個人

而生活的精彩之處在於

妳需處理好自己的傷口

像個沒事人一樣 繼續面對傷害妳 背叛妳的那個人

或許某日 妳甚至疑惑 曾經的傷害與背叛是否真的發生過？

不！ 那個心上穿過的洞 永遠都在

今日の一言

カシオペア　そういう列車があるんだ

上野から札幌まで一晩かけて　走る　寝台列車

たまに　夢で見るんだ。

テトリスって、あるでしょ

あれに　何か似てる。

テトリスは　何かよくわからないんだ

次から次へ　ただ　ブロックが降ってくるのを　何か合わせて

あわせたら　消える。

何か　今の　この感じに似てるんだ。

何をしてるのか　分からない

目的もない　終わりもない

ただ　何か　追い立てられるみたいに

せきたてられるみたいに

続いてくるんだ。

Review by Richard S. Ginell

Armed mostly with a brace of standards yet willing to do unpredictable things with them, Richie Beirachturns in one of the more thankfully idiosyncratic editions of the Maybeck Recital Hall Series (this is Vol. 19). This format allows Beirach to exploit his romantic credentials with only a nominal interest in the usual bop formulas, and he throws in a few startling unorthodox glissandos here and there to shake everyone up. Very often, he works compellingly with repetitions in the left hand; the prime examples of this include an "On Green Dolphin Street," and based mostly on the same stabbing syncopation on two notes in the left hand, a lovely now-and-then literal rendition of Bill Evans' take on "Some Other Time," and a sauntering semiboogie interpretation of "All Blues." There is also a unified stream-of-consciousness medley that opens with "Over the Rainbow" and winds up on "In the Wee Small Hours of the Morning," as well as a really unorthodox "'Round Midnight" with a few humorous surprises. A most absorbing recital, cleanly recorded.

温かくて、温かくて、この寒い冬に、疲れて耐えられない私を抱いてくれた。

I am a lifelong Chet Baker fan and I in fact knew him in the 50s. In the 1956-59 time frame I was taking trumpet lessons from the great lead trumpet man Carlton MacBeth in California and Chet took a few lessons from Carlton to get help with his problem of missing a front tooth. Carlton told me "He has an ear like an elephant!" A essential part of Carlton's teaching was the playing of Pedal Tones to form the correct embrochure and to freshen the lips. In 1957 I heard Chet play at the Los Angeles Jazz club called "Peacock Lane" and between songs he turned his back on the crowd and blew a few Pedal Tones. At the Peacock Lane he played "Bernie's Tune" for me. Later in San Diego, in the 1980s, I saw him playing with Stan Getz at a supper club looking out on the bay. The physical change in him was shocking. In the 50s he had been really handsome with everything about him together - well dressed and all. In the 80's his hair was bedraggled and deep furrows in his face and he was wearing Levi's. But he was playing great and it was really nice to talk to him again!

I would like people to know something about Chet. For one thing, he was really fast and intent. He looked right at you and into your eyes. He read your face very quickly and I have often thought that he would have made a great gun fighter. In his music, Chet relied on his ear and I'm pretty sure that he didn't even know how to read music. In this record you hear these qualities. Everytime Chet played a song, it was different, really different. Listen to My Funny Valentine on this record. Chet saved the best for last. This time My Funny Valentine is full of fire and Chet's solo seems to come from nowhere. Who would have ever thought that such a fantastic solo could have ever been conceived and executed by anyone. There is so much on this Album! I listen to it in my car with my windows down. I even want to be seen listening to it and I want others, probably for the only time in their life, to hear really great Jazz. The whole band cooks.

Chet was selected by Charlie Parker to be his trumpet player and I think there was probably no better judge of a Jazz player than Charlie Parker. To play with Bird you had to be great and to top it off, Chet played with everyone else as well. I have been listening to music and Jazz in particular all my life. I'm 66 now and I have heard it all. It is my opinion that Chet is our greatest Jazz trumpet player. He was not our greatest trumpet player. He couldn't scream double and triple C's and hold down the lead chair like Carlton, Bud Brisbois, or Cat Anderson, but he could make every band cook when he took the solo and that was his gift. Buy this CD and hear the Master!

They say ignorance is bliss.

Because once you know about the tumor or the prognosis,

you can't go back.

Will you be strong or will you fall apart?

It's hard to predict.

So don't worry about it.

Enjoy the time you have before the news comes.

Yep. Ignorance is bliss.
