你是我翼下的風 Wind beneath my wings 這首曲子是美國歌手 Bette Midler 唱的. 也是一部電影的主題曲, 描寫一位成名歌星, 對她默默在背後支持她的親姐姐的感謝, 沒有風, 老鷹是飛不起來的. 歌詞很美.
第一次接觸這首曲子, 是多年前上 Deniel Lee 的廣播節目(後來才知道那是一家地下電台), 是接近午夜的全英語發音的節目, 名稱叫"English you and me.", 我與幾位 Toastmasters 的會友, 輪流每星期三晚上現場播出. 其中有一天, Deniel 就是介紹這首曲子, 把歌詞逐一的說明, 當時就被感動了. 其實當時並沒有把主唱歌手的名字記起來.
2004年我帶內人到美國參加社團的世界年會, 順道到洛杉磯旅遊, 有一天在逛百貨公司時, 聽到這熟悉的旋律, 以前被感動過的心情, 頓時被挑起無限的漣渏. 趕忙詢問在旁的店員, 才知道主唱者是 Bette Midler.
2006年底, 在我退休的歡送茶會裡, 好友盧專員特別把這首曲子拿出來, 對我在博物館十年所扮演的"風"的角色, 表示無限的謝意. 老實說, 當時被感動的差一點掉淚, 不過還是忍住了.
按: 筆者在博物館擔任秘書室主任的職務, 負責幕後的支援工作, 參觀博物館的民眾, 所看到所有的展示及所接受的各項服務, 都跟我沒關係, 所以看不到的, 諸如供電, 供水, 監控, 資訊, 消防, 保全, 清潔等等, 都是我主管的業務. 所以, "風"是一個很恰當的比喻.
"Wind Beneath My Wings"
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
It must have been cold there in my shadow,
to never have sunlight on your face.
You were content to let me shine, that's your way.
You always walked a step behind.
So I was the one with all the glory,
while you were the one with all the strength.
A beautiful face without a name for so long.
A beautiful smile to hide the pain.
Did you ever know that you're my hero,
and everything I would like to be?
I can fly higher than an eagle,
'cause you are the wind beneath my wings.
It might have appeared to go unnoticed,
but I've got it all here in my heart.
I want you to know I know the truth, of course I know it.
I would be nothing without you.
Did you ever know that you're my hero?
You're everything I wish I could be.
I could fly higher than an eagle,
'cause you are the wind beneath my wings.
Did I ever tell you you're my hero?
You're everything, everything I wish I could be.
Oh, and I, I could fly higher than an eagle,
'cause you are the wind beneath my wings,
'cause you are the wind beneath my wings.
Oh, the wind beneath my wings.
You, you, you, you are the wind beneath my wings.
Fly, fly, fly away. You let me fly so high.
Oh, you, you, you, the wind beneath my wings.
Oh, you, you, you, the wind beneath my wings.
Fly, fly, fly high against the sky,
so high I almost touch the sky.
Thank you, thank you,
thank God for you, the wind beneath my wings.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
