未曾有自我(I've Never Been to Me/Charlene)歌词

    Hey lady, you lady, cursing at your life
    You're a discontented mother and a regimented wife
    I've no doubt you dream about the things you'll never do
    But, I wish someone had talked to me
    Like I wanna talk to you.....

    Oh, I've been to Georgia and California and anywhere I could run
    I took the hand of a preacher man and we made love in the sun
    But I ran out of places and friendly faces because I had to be free
    I've been to paradise but I've never been to me

    Please lady, please lady, don't just walk away
    'Cause I have this need to tell you why I'm all alone today
    I can see so much of me still living in your eyes
    Won't you share a part of a weary heart that has lived million lies....

    Oh, I've been to Niece and the Isle of Greece while I've sipped champagne on a yacht
    I've moved like Harlow in Monte Carlo and showed 'em what I've got
    I've been undressed by kings and I've seen some things that a woman ain't supposed to see
    I've been to paradise, but I've never been to me

    [spoken]
    Hey, you know what paradise is?
    It's a lie, a fantasy we create about people and places as we'd like them to be
    But you know what truth is?
    It's that little baby you're holding, it's that man you fought with this morning
    The same one you're going to make love with tonight
    That's truth, that's love......

    Sometimes I've been to crying for unborn children that might have made me complete
    But I took the sweet life, I never knew I'd be bitter from the sweet
    I've spent my life exploring the subtle whoring that costs too much to be free
    Hey lady......
    I've been to paradise, (I've been to paradise)
    But I've never been to me

    (I've been to Georgia and California, and anywhere I could run)
    I've been to paradise, never been to me
    (I've been to Neice and the isle of Greece while I've sipped champagne on a yacht)
    I've been to paradise, never been to me
    (I've been to cryin' for unborn children that might have made me complete)
    I've been to paradise, never been to me
    (I've been to Georgia and California, and anywhere I could run)
    I've been to paradise, never been to me

從不曾屬於自己   夏琳

嗨!女士,咒罵著自己人生的女士
妳是個不滿現狀的母親,也是個蠻橫的妻子
對你夢想的事,我並不懷疑
但我希望有人找我談心,像我找你談心一樣

我到過喬治亞州、加州和任何我想去的地方
牽著傳教士的手,在陽光下做愛
我走遍各地,看盡友善的臉孔
只因我想要自由
我曾到過天堂,但從來不曾屬於自己

求求妳,女士,別走開
因為我必須告訴妳,為何我現在孓然一身
從妳眼裡,我看到了昔日的我
何不讓我分擔妳那脆弱的心
妳那活在千萬個謊言中的心

我到過尼斯,到過希臘群島
在遊艇上啜飲著香檳
我像珍哈露一樣搬到蒙地卡羅,炫耀我的斬獲
我曾在國王面前寬衣解帶
也曾看過一些女人不該看到的事物
我曾到過天堂
但從來不曾屬於自己

(口白)
嘿,妳曉得什麼是天堂嗎?那是個謊言
那是我們對人、事、地的憧憬
所編織出來的幻想
但妳知道真相是什麼嗎?
那是妳懷中抱著的嬰兒
那是今天早上和妳共同奮鬥,
晚上一同做愛的男人
那就是真相,那就是愛

有時候我會為未出世的孩子哭泣
也許那會使我的人生更完整
但我選擇了優渥的生活
卻從來不知道樂極也會生悲
我已花了一生縱情聲色
為自由付出太多代價
女士,我曾到過天堂
但從不曾屬於自己

I've never been to me這首歌總覺得耳熟能詳,球是在77那看到這首歌,進而也去找到了原唱者Charlene的資料,這首歌很多人翻唱過,剛去找到SHE版本,但聽過Charlene的版本,就會覺得夏琳唱的感覺比較能詮釋這首歌。如果到夏琳的網站去看可以知道更多的資料,原本作詞者是先寫出男生版,後來為了夏琳特地寫了女生版本。據看到資料,可惜的是夏琳算是一片歌手,應該是美國人對歌曲的愛與亞洲人比較不同,不過,後來這首歌卻變成世界耳熟能詳的一首歌。 

感嘆人生的種種,我們總追求遙不可及的夢想,總以為追尋到那個夢想的自己才會幸福。其實不然,幸福就在我們身邊,什麼是真實,什麼是真相,就是每天一睜眼所看到的一切,即是真實。
