歌詞是選段意譯：
這吉普賽皇后有皇后的自傲，但大家都說：媽媽。聰慧和善的媽媽。無國籍的吉普賽兒童分散各地像沙漠的沙，她明白，她給予，來找媽媽的吉普賽從各方而來。／今天他們趕來，是最後一次。他們劃十字輕祈禱，萬福瑪利亞。最後一吻後他們必須要走，但她的心思與心神，他們將永懷念。

她說：“我的女兒，我求求你，我有一個必須實現的願望，最後你可以為媽媽做的，請答應我，你會留下來，當我不在的時候替代我，每一天給孩子們一點愛。／現在孩子都長大，我不能再指引他們。我遵守了諾言，為媽媽我已盡一切努力。但相對她為我做過的，似乎很小很少...

歌詞是選段意譯：
他們都來了，哭泣，將死去的，媽媽。喝新鮮的酒好的葡萄，長凳上堆亂的圍巾帽子。床邊的孩子靜靜玩耍，給媽媽的最後禮物。所有人都熱，陽光，將死去的，媽媽。床邊吉他手，守夜的悲歌，萬福瑪利亞。媽媽，多麼的愛和回憶多麼的眼淚笑容，永遠不要不要，你永不要離開。

Yesterday, When I Was Young - Lyrics

a rough translation of the song "Yesterday, When I Was Young."

Yesterday, When I Was Young - Dusty Springfield (1972)

Mulata Assanhada - Elizeth Cardoso (1961)

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -





from "Sax Voz", with Moacyr Silva on saxophone。

rough translation：

Oh, Mulata Assanhada
Passing with grace
Making prank
Pretending innocent
Removing the peace of ours 


Oh, if I could mulata
And this is my currency
I gave no thought
This land, this sky, this sea
He pretends he does not know
That there’s spell on the look 


Oh, Mulata Assanhada...

Oh my God, how good it would be
If he returned to slavery
I picked up the darkness
He was holding my heart
And the Pretoria police department
Is the one who solved the problem
﹣

Mulata = 女非歐混血兒／黑白混血兒，男性是Mulato。
Assanhada 是俗語 = 調情／挑逗者。
Pretoria = 比勒陀利亞，a city in South Africa。
﹣
早前貼的“Mulata Assanhada”原版。Elizeth Cardoso原唱。勉强意譯了歌詞。 歌是巴西的，歌曲末段主角建議那位沾花惹草的蕩男返歸做奴隸，並説祇有比勒陀利亞（非洲城市）的警方才能收服他，説明蕩男應該是從前被輸送到南美當奴隸的非洲人的後裔。

Les Vendanges de L'amour ﹣ Marie Laforet (1963)

-
61年的“Saint Tropez Blues”是那些因為名字and/or海報而立即想看的電影。但一直看不到。Marie Laforet因為拍電影“Saint Tropez Blues”而唱了主題曲，歌唱天份（或魅力）被發掘。隨即試灌唱片：1963年成名作 “Les Vendanges de L'amour”(愛的收成)。

Mon Amour, Mon Ami - Marie Laforet (1967)

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -




-
印象中Marie Laforet主演的電影我祇看過René Clément的“Plein Soleil”（怒海沉屍/ 陽光普照/ Purple Noon) ，拍著阿倫狄龍。Claude Chabrol的“Marie-Chantal Contre Docteur Kha”(Blue Panther)則未有看過。相對同代的yé-yé girl，她唱歌走鬱怨成熟路線，特別獲編曲家André Popp垂青。

Blues a Volonte - Baden Powell (1972)

from "E de Lei".

他説晚上是自由的小島，她説小島是自由的晚上，他説歡樂是持續的舞動，她説舞動是持續的歡樂。倚靠夏天的人留在街上，把光線一般畢直的時間舞動成體育場上一圈一圈的絲帶。
-
霍隆特的藍調。法文 “volonté” 大概解作意志或希望 。在音樂世界， “à volonté”大概指演出者在節奏，動感或發音上可以 “自由發揮”。歌曲女伴唱的名字是Janine de Valeyne。

破碎的浪，午夜的風，炎熱擠滿意識，的一種滿足。比去年熱，明年會怎樣。太平的話再來36度也可以。
-
「無用的風景」。Antonio Jobim作曲。 最著名版本Elis Regina 74年唱出。67年Frank Sinatra 唱過英文版“I Only Have Eyes For You”。其實64年Wanda Sá在首張專輯也唱過，唱得編得最靈巧細緻最夜欄人静一個人。

Feitinha Pro Poeta - Eumir Deodato (1965)

from "Os Catedraticos/ Ataque".
-
到美國為CTI公司灌錄一系列剛勁張揚漫游太空的大團隊jazz-funk-fusion唱片一炮而紅之前，Eumir Deodato在老家巴西彈鋼琴彈電琴玩短小精悍跳脱爽朗的老好新浪潮之音。73年他有一張唱片叫“Os Catedraticos 73”，原因在65年已出版過一張同樣叫“Os Catedraticos”的。 (Os Catedraticos 應翻譯為The Professors。這回合葡語贏了。)

到美國為A&M公司灌錄一系列輕鬆愉快的 “Brasil 66”合唱團唱片一炮而紅之前，Sergio Mendes在老家巴西玩紮實地道的小團隊bossa jazz。

Nuit Sur Les Champs-Élysées - Miles Davis (1958)

這裡坐一陣，那裡坐一陣，與一個陌生的人交談一會後，開始下雨，沿著大道再走一會，依然没答案，又與另一個陌生的人交談，依然等待。年輕的夜，漸老的心，所有的未知在空氣中像時間隨風而去。

Nuit Sur Les Champs-Élysées = 香榭麗舍之夜
Miles Davis當年是一邊看著電影片段一邊在録音室即慶吹奏。

from "Wonderful World".

Don't know much about history
Don't know much biology
Don't know much about science book
Don't know much about the french I took

But I do know that I love you
And I know that if you love me too
What a wonderful world this would be

Don't know much about geography
Don't know much trigonometry
Don't know much about algebra
Don't know what a slide rule is for

But I do know that one and one is two
And if this one could be with you
What a wonderful world this would be

Now I don't claim to be an "A" student
But I'm trying to be
So maybe by being an "A" student baby
I can win your love for me

Don't know much about history
Don't know much biology
Don't know much about science book
Don't know much about the french I took

But I do know that I love you
And I know that if you love me too
What a wonderful world this would be

今天聽Jazz Butcher的“Soul Happy Hour”的時候，想起Sam Cooke這首歌，也列出一系列disregard來証明世界有其他幸福的標準：“Don't know much about history, Don't know much biology... ” 今天會考放榜，低分數無人收留的學生，總會找到另一片天空。

from "A Scandal in Bohemia".
﹣
看BBC節目“oz and james drink to britain”的時候想：為什麼沒有用上這首歌？合唱部份的歌詞是：“Whiskey, Vodka, Special Brew, All of this is good for you. Gin sling, Cointreau, brandy sour... 
” 不難想像在Glastonbury十五萬人合唱的情境。
-
The best things in life are free
But you can give them to the SDP
I want to go to Tesco's store
And buy some drink and fall on the floor.

I don't care for smart new clothes
I don't care for reading books
I don't care for Quinn and Collins
I don't care for magazines

I don't like lemonade
I think milk should not be made
I don't like coffee and I don't like tea
These are the things that mystify me

I don't care for sport or swimming
I don't care for all those nasty old bogies
I don't care what's on TV
I just want to drink til I can't see

I wish I'd been born a tree
Someone'd come and make a barrel out of me
I get in a fury when I'm not in a brewery

Whiskey Vodka Special Brew
All of this is good for you
Gin sling, Cointreau, brandy sour...
Blot right out! Soul happy hour!
