其实,“Hero”是在911之前发行的,不是特为美国人民抚伤和歌颂英雄主义的的“应景”歌曲。 这首歌是一首情歌,无论歌曲的旋律还是Enrique的磁性唱腔,迷人委婉,如泣如诉,美丽至极。但在美国全国伤心悲痛的时候,歌迷们用这首歌抚慰心中的伤痛并高呼:“我会是你的英雄,宝贝。我将吻去你的痛苦,我会永远和你站在一起,我把心交给你!”(I can be your hero, baby, I can kiss away the pain. And I will stand by you forever. You can take my breath away.)。 (说到这里想起了汤姆克鲁斯Tom Cruise主演的一部电影“Top Gun”《壮志凌云》里有一首柏林乐队演奏的插曲,叫“Take My Breath Away”— 《把我的心带走》,也是经典之作。)
Enrique不会刻意接受“Hero”成为爱国歌曲,但也不会去排斥。当他受邀参与《美国:向英雄致敬》(America: A Tribute To Heroes)的演出,指定他唱这首歌时,他不多加考虑就答应了。 “Hero”的MTV更精彩,由Mickey Rourke和Jennifer Love Hewitt出演。一首歌四分钟的时间,把一部MTV演义得效果极佳 -- 在MTV的结尾,男主角臥倒在女主角的怀中,把女主角的手握在胸前,反复吟唱“You can take my breath away”,女主角的不捨和悲伤令人惻然... 这首歌写得那么动人,但却是Enrique历来花最短时间写成的一首英语歌—据说只花了5分钟! Enrique Iglesias是拉丁天王Julio Iglesias(胡立欧·伊格拉西亚斯)的儿子。
Enrique Iglesias Hero Would you dance if I asked you to dance? Would you run and never look back? Would you cry if you saw me cry? And would you save my soul, tonight?
Would you tremble if I touched your lips? Would you laugh? Oh please tell me this. Now would you die for the one you loved? Hold me in your arms, tonight.
I can be your hero, baby. I can kiss away the pain. I will stand by you forever. You can take my breath away.
Would you swear that you'll always be mine? Or would you lie? would you run and hide? Am I in too deep? Have I lost my mind? I don't care... You're here tonight.
I can be your hero, baby. I can kiss away the pain. I will stand by you forever. You can take my breath away.
Oh, I just want to hold you. I just want to hold you. Am I in too deep? Have I lost my mind? I don't care... You're here tonight.
I can be your hero, baby. I can kiss away the pain. I will stand by your forever. You can take my breath away.
I can be your hero. I can kiss away the pain. And I will stand by you forever. You can take my breath away. You can take my breath away.
