一、《任性的风》

1、本曲大意

歌者叙述她的男友是个喜欢四处漂泊的人。就像风吹无定所，她的男友由于从小住在铁道旁的简陋小屋里，看尽人生过客，耳濡目染，也喜欢漂泊的生活，因此舍弃她和家乡四处去流浪了。（下次交男女朋友前，先注意他／她家是否在火车站附近。）

2、英文歌词

The wayward wind is a restless wind, a restless wind

that yearns to wander. And he was born the next of kin,

the next of kin to the wayward wind.

In a lonely shack by a railroad track,

he spent his younger days. And I guess the sound of the outward-bound made him a slave to his wander in ways.

And the wayward wind is a restless wind,

a restless wind that yearns to wander.

And he was born the next of kin,

the next of kin to the wayward wind.

Oh, I met him there in a border town.

He vowed wed never part.

Though he tried his best to ttle down,

I’m now alone with a broken heart.

And the wayward wind is a restless wind,

a restless wind that yearns to wander.

And he was born the next of kin,

the next of kin to the wayward wind,

the next of kin to the way ward wind.

3、歌词翻译

这阵任性的风是安定不下来的风，

是一阵想要四处漂泊的风。

而他生下来就是它的近亲，

是这阵任性的风之近亲。

在靠铁道旁一栋孤寂简陋的小屋里，

他度过他的年轻岁月。

我猜想就是这种出旅的声音使他无法摆脱自己那种想四处漂泊的行径。

这阵任性的风是安定不下来的风，

是一阵想要四处漂泊的风。

而他生下来就是它的近亲，

是这阵任性的风之近亲。

喔，我是在一座边境的小镇认识了他。

他曾誓言我们永不分离。

虽然他也努力要安定下来过日子，

如今我可是孤单又心碎。

这阵任性的风是安定不下来的风，

是一阵想要四处漂泊的风。

而他生下来就是它的近亲，

是这阵任性的风之近亲，

是这阵任性的风之近亲。

Take one fresh and tender kiss. Add one stolen night of bliss.

One girl, one boy, some grief, some joy ─ memories are made of

this.

Dont forget a small moonbeam; fold it lightly with a dream. Your

lips and mine, two sips of wine ─ memories are made of this.

Then add the wedding bells, one hou where lovers dwell, three

little kids for the flavor. Stir carefully through the days; e

how the flavor stays. The are the dreams you will savor.

With His blessings from above, rve it generously with love. One

man, one wife, one love, two lives ─ memories are made of this.

Memories are made of this.

用一个清新、柔美的吻，再添加一晚快乐的偷情，接着再加上一个女孩，一个男孩，偶尔些许的悲伤，些许的欢乐，我们快乐的回忆皆由这些配料所做成。

不要忘了一道小小的月光，用梦把它轻轻地包起来，再加上妳我的双唇，及浅尝少许美酒，美好的回忆皆由这些配料做成。

然后再添加婚礼的钟声，加上两个爱侣住的房子，再有三个小孩子来加添风味。混合日子仔细的搅拌，看味道是否会持久。这就是妳会品尝的梦。

将老天赐给我们的福气配合我们自己的情爱柔柔地掺在一起。一个先生、一个太太、一份专注的爱情，两个生命。美好的回忆皆由此做成。美好的回忆皆由此做成。
