公众号：欧美歌曲赏析

理查德·马克斯(Richard Marx)第一次巡回演出时，爱妻辛西娅·罗德斯去拍片已3个月，由于签证问题，理查德无法前去探望辛西娅，他感到非常郁闷。这时，他的朋友说:"你郁闷的时候会写出最好的歌曲。"于是，理查德坐在钢琴旁，在一种强烈的冲动下，只用了20分钟就写完了《此情可待》创作，这首歌成为广为流传的经典情歌。在海湾战争期间，这首歌在美国成了亲朋分别时相互告慰、互祝平安的歌曲。

这首歌传唱不衰，颂扬真情的永恒。

Oceans apart, day after day, 海隔一方，日复一日
and I slowly go insane. 我开始恍惚。
I hear your voice on the line,你的声音在线可闻,
But it doesn't stop the pain. 但哪能消解心中愁闷。
If I see you next to never, 倘若此生不能相见,
How can we say forever? 何能誓说海枯石烂?
Wherever you go, whatever you do, 任凭天涯海角，任凭天马行空,
I will be right here waiting for you; 此生为你守候.
Whatever it takes, 莫道付出天大代价
Or how my heart breaks, 莫道我心破碎，
I will be right here waiting for you. 为你此地守候
I took for granted all the times 我曾一直笃信
That I thought would last somehow. 你我能共度良宵。
I hear the laughter, 我内心窃喜，
I taste the tear, 我孤芳自赏。
But I can't get near you now. 哪知此刻你我心隔万里。
Oh, can't you see, baby, 哦 亲爱的，你哪能不知?
You've got me going crazy? 让我身心如此癫狂?
Wherever you go, whatever you do, 任凭天涯海角，任凭天马行空,
I will be right here waiting for you; 此生为你守候.
Whatever it takes, 莫道付出天大代价
Or how my heart breaks, 莫道我碎骨混身，
I will be right here waiting for you. 为你此地守候
I wonder 好想知晓
How we can survive this romance, 如何安享此情此爱?
But in the end 但倘若有一天
If I'm with you 能回到你身边
I'll take the chance. 我会奋不顾身
Oh, can't you see it, baby, 哦 亲爱的，你哪能不知?
You've got me going crazy? 让我身心如此癫狂?
Wherever you go, whatever you do, 任凭天涯海角，任凭天马行空,
I will be right here waiting for you; 此生为你守候.
Whatever it takes, 莫道付出天大代价

Oh,can't you see, baby, 哦 宝贝 难道你不明白
You've got me going crazy? 你已使我开始发疯 ?
Wherever you go, whatever you do, 无论你去何方 无论你要做什么
I will be right here waiting for you; 我会就在这里等候着你
Whatever it takes, 无论这要付出什么代价
