I Just Called To Say I Love You - STEVIE WONDER
我用电话说我爱你
这是黑人盲歌星Stevie Wonder为电影"红衣女郎"( The woman in red )所写的歌曲,也是他最为人熟知的一首作品。不过您若认为这首轻松写意的歌曲,就代表他的个人风格,那您可能小看他了。
Stevie Wonder生於1950年,出生时即两眼全盲。不过,上天赐予他极佳的音感与创作才能,十二岁时就被唱片公司发掘,随即推出专辑唱片,震惊了美国歌坛,被誉为黑人音乐界的音乐神童。70年代的Stevie Wonder,逐渐进入创作成熟期,不仅专辑畅销,而且都获得相当高的评价,"Talking book"、"Innervisions"等後来都入选为流行音乐史上最重要的一百张专辑。如今在美国,是位地位相当崇高的大师级人物。
No New Year's day to celebrate
No chocolate covered candy hearts to give away
No first of spring
No song to sing
In fact here's just another ordinary day
No April rain
No flowers bloom
No wedding Saturday within the month of June
But what it is
Is something true
Made up of these three words that I must say to you
I just called to say I love you
I just called to say how much I care
I just called to say I love you
And I mean it from the bottom of my heart
No summer's high
No warm July
No harvest moon to light one tender August night
No autumn breeze
No falling leaves
Not even time for birds to fly to southern skies
No Libra sun
No Halloween
No giving thanks to all the Christmas joy you bring
But what it is
Though old so new
To fill your heart like no three words could ever do
