GREENSLEEVES《綠 袖 子》- 4/4 : "Stay Away" Elvis Presley



"GREENSLEEVES"《綠 袖 子》
"STAY AWAY" - Elvis Presley
文獻有述, "Green-Sleeves" 樂曲是源自1602年 William Shakespeare 莎士比亞的舞台劇 "The Merry Wives of Windsor"。1865年, 一首聖誕頌歌 "What Child Is This?" 譜上了 "Green-Sleeves" 的樂曲面世之後, 至1968年, Elvis Presley 演繹的的流行歌曲 "Stay Away" 亦取同一曲調, 以不同年代的內容, 在流行樂壇面世。



1968 - "STAY AWAY, JOE" 脂粉牛郎
美高梅電影公司 M-G-M 一齣現代西部喜劇電影, 香港譯名:"脂粉牛郎"; 片中插曲由男主角 Elvis Presley 演繹。故事取材自1953年的同名小說, 作者是 Dan Cushman。電影在1968年的 "Variety Weekly 綜藝周刊" 列全國電影票房榜, 第六十五位。

Elvis Presley 飾演一位北美洲原住民牛郎 Joe Lightclou, 自從他離開父母往外獨闖, 其家人仍然留在荒郊保育區域, 不願放棄蓄牧業務, 但不被該區的議員允許和幫助發展。Elvis 駕着白色的 "Cadillac 卡廸勒" 敞蓬轎車, 返回家鄉以助一臂, 途中被原居地的風景和山脈所吸引, 好像跟他高呼: "Don't stay away 不要離去!"


STAY AWAY - Elvis Presley


Ten thousand miles even though I roam
I can hear the call of the hills of home
The canyons high and the valleys low
Echo "how can you stay away"

My dreams are there where the eagle flies
Where the mountain tops seem to touch the sky
The winding streams and the winds that blow
Ask me "how can you stay away"

Far too long have I stayed apart
From this land that I love and divide my heart
Now, now I know I must go
Where the hills say "don't stay away"
Where the hills say "don't stay away"

"STAY AWAY" 的歌詞已描繪出電影大概的故事, 此曲對樂迷是否陌生? 樂曲調子取自 "Greensleeves" 亦少被關注? 在網上的音樂平台, 有記錄翻唱此曲祗有 Paul Ansell 演繹, 並收錄在他的専輯 "Number Nine"。Paul Ansell 在今天的 "Rockabilly 鄉巴搖滾" 音樂系列, 被認為是個優秀的歌手之一, 他的唱腔和聲調, 恰好是 Elvis Presley 和 Charlie Rich 的混合體, 被受"Rockabilly"樂迷歡迎。

"Greensleeves" 
這首經典作品, 以純音樂演奏和其他語言演繹的版本, 至今共有六百多首; 另外取同一音樂, 包括聖誕頌歌 "What Child Is This?" 與及 Elvis Presley 的流行歌曲 "Stay Away", 三個不同類別的錄音版本合共千個以上, 及後, 在流行樂壇傳聞還有一首歌曲作品, 亦是由這首十六世紀英國民謠 "Green-Sleeves" 的音樂而啟發, 此曲將有另文作介紹 .... January 2019
