"CHEEK TO CHEEK"《雨打鴛鴦》中詞西曲
"TOP HAT"《雲冕霓裳》電影
1935年的歌舞電影, 由 Fred Astaire 佛列 雅士提, 與 Ginger Rogers 珍姐 羅渣士主演; 影片所見的 "Top Hat" 高頂禮帽、白蝴蝶領結、燕尾禮服是上流社會的社交服飾, 主题歌曲 "Cheek To Cheek" 是當年美國流行樂壇的經典之一, 被提名為1936年 "奧斯卡 Academy Awards" 最佳歌曲獎項。
"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, 最為人知是 Ella Fitzerald 1958年的演繹, 而早於上世紀三十年代, 中國樂壇已經把這一曲撰上中文歌詞, 以《中詞西曲》面世。今天, 要謝謝收集這首歌曲的有心人, 把這首稀有的舊作品《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
是三十年代早期中國歌壇的女歌星, 與當年的一線歌星相比, 她衹處於二線地位的後輩, 她的作品不多, 到後期, 漸少見她在歌壇的蹤影。《雨打鴛鴦》可算是她稀有的錄音作品, 曾經聽過原英文版本的樂迷, 亦甚少會留意這個與原曲不同格調的演譯, 祗有颇熟悉的感覺而已。

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
