"CHEEK TO CHEEK"《雨打鴛鴦》中詞西曲
"TOP HAT"《雲冕霓裳》
1935年的歌舞電影, 由 "佛列雅士提 Fred Astaire" 與及 "珍姐羅渣士 Ginger Rogers" 主演。在電影中出現的高身禮帽、白蝴蝶領結、燕尾禮服, 與及主题曲之一的 "CHEEK TO CHEEK" 成了當年美國樂壇的經典, 更被提名為1936年最佳歌曲奧斯卡獎。 至2000年, Fred Astaire 和大樂隊 Leo Reisman Orchestra 的錄音版本再被列入 "Grammy Hall of Fame 格蘭美名人殿堂"。
"CHEEK TO CHEEK"
此曲出自荷李活電影, 不少樂迷對它的原唱版本多不留意, 尤其是早於上世紀三十年代, 中國樂壇已經把 "CHEEK TO CHEEK" 撰上中文歌詞, 以《中詞西曲》面世。今天, 要謝謝收集這首歌曲的有心人, 把這稀有的舊作品《雨打鴛鴦》上載, 使它得以重現, 給樂迷一新耳目或回憶 !
馬 婷 婷
是中國三十年代早期歌壇的女歌星, 與當年的一線歌星相比, 她衹處於二線地位的後輩而已, 她的作品不多; 到後期, 漸少見她在歌壇的蹤影。《雨打鴛鴦》可算是她稀有的《中詞西曲》作品, 曾經聽過原英文版本的樂迷, 亦甚少留意馬婷婷這中文版本, 對此曲不同格調演譯和原作品的出處, 除了祗有颇熟悉的感覺之外, 亦可能是馬婷婷與周旋等一線歌星, 她的知名度有别而没有被關注吧。

CHEEK TO CHEEK
And my heart beats so that I can hardly speak
And I seem to find the happiness I seek
When we're out together dancing cheek to cheek
Heaven, I'm in heaven
And the cares that hung around me through the week
Seem to vanish like a gamblers lucky streak
When we're out together dancing cheek to cheek
Oh, I love to climb a mountain and to reach the highest peak
But it doesnt thrill me half as much as dancing cheek to cheek
Oh, I love to go out fishing in a river or a creek
But I dont enjoy it half as much as dancing cheek to cheek
Dance with me
I want my arm about you
That charm about you
Will carry me through
To Heaven, I'm in heaven
And my heart beats so that I can hardly speak
And I seem to find the happiness I seek
When we're out together dancing cheek to cheek
Come on and dance with me
I want my arm about you
That charm about you
Will carry me through
To Heaven, I'm in heaven
And my heart beats so that I can hardly speak
And I seem to find the happiness I seek
When we're out together dancing cheek to cheek
Out together dancing cheek to cheek
Out together dancing cheek to cheek
