You Belong to Me is a romantic popular music ballad from the 1950s. The singer reminds his or her beloved ones that whatever exotic locales and sights he/she experiences, “you belong to me” no matter what happens. The song is credited to Pee Wee King, Chilton Price and Redd Stewart.
The first 1952 recording of the song was by Joni James. She recorded the song in February, 1952, in Chicago and it was released in March on the local Sharp Records label. A cover version by Jo Stafford became the most popular version. Issued by Columbia Records, it was Stafford's biggest hit, topping the charts in both the United States and the United Kingdom (the first song by a female singer to top the UK Singles Chart). In 1958, the song crossed over into rock for the first time on the Capitol album Gene Vincent Rocks and the Blue Caps Roll. A later version of the song, by the Duprees, also made the Billboard Top 10. It was recorded by many other pop vocalists, including Patsy Cline and Bing Crosby. A solo acoustic version was recorded by Bob Dylan for the 1992 album Good as I Been to You but was eventually left off as an out-take; the recording surfaced two years later in the soundtrack for the 1994 film Natural Born Killers.
The song has also appeared on many soundtracks. Vonda Shepard's cover was used frequently on the TV series Ally McBeal alongside romantic scenes of Ally McBeal and Billy Thomas. A version by Jason Wade was part of the soundtrack to the 2001 animated film Shrek. Singer Tori Amos also recorded the classic for the Julia Roberts film Mona Lisa Smile in 2003. In the British film The Deep Blue Sea (released 2011), the drinkers in a London pub perform the song which later modulates into Jo Stafford's version.
The song was also featured in the 2013 video game BioShock Infinite as part of its Burial at Sea story add-on.
《你属于我》是一首深情款款的浪漫流行曲,创作于20世纪50年代。歌者提醒爱人,即使遍览异国风景,无论经历了什么,都要记得TA是自己最爱的人。此曲首唱是乔妮·詹姆斯,后经无数歌手翻唱,还有不少影视作品将其用作插曲,其中比较著名的有美国“生命之屋”乐队主唱兼作曲及吉他手杰森·韦德的翻唱版(动画片《怪物史莱克》)和摇滚诗人鲍勃·迪伦的翻唱版(电影《天生杀人狂》)。电游《生化奇兵:无限》中也采用了此曲。
You Belong to Me
See the pyramids around the Nile
Watch the sunrise from a tropic isle
Just remember darling all the while
You belong to me
See the marketplace in old Algiers
Send me photographs and souvenirs
Just remember when a dream appears
You belong to me
And I’ll be so alone without you
Maybe you’ll be lonesome too
Fly the ocean in a silver plane
See the jungle when it’s wet with rain
Just remember till you’re home again
You belong to me
Oh I’ll be so alone without you
Maybe you’ll be lonesome too
Fly the ocean in a silver plane
See the jungle when it’s wet with rain
Just remember till you're home again
You belong to me
你属于我
欣赏尼罗河畔的金字塔
观看热带岛屿的日出
亲爱的千万要记得
你属于我
徜徉阿尔及尔老城的集市
为我寄来照片和纪念品
美梦来袭时要记得
你属于我
没有你在身边我会很孤单
也许你也一样寂寞
乘着银色飞机飞越海洋
探游正值雨季的丛林
归家前一定要记得
你属于我
没有你在身边我会很孤单
也许你也一样寂寞
乘着银色飞机飞越海洋
探游正值雨季的丛林
归家前你要记得
你属于我
