《Top of The World》
整个70年代后期,他们已开始走下坡路。身体欠佳对卡朋特兄妹的打击更是雪上加霜:理查德不幸染上了“药瘾”为了戒瘾,他在1978年进入了一家诊所接受治疗;卡伦则因为节食而患上了厌食症。1983年2月4日,人们发现卡伦晕倒在她父母的房间里。当天,卡伦因厌食引起生物功能紊乱导致心脏病发作,在医院里告别人世。
《Top of The World》由Karen Carpenter演唱。Karen去世后,有人根据她的生平拍成一部《The story of Karen Carpenter》。影片里,她是正在唱《Top of The World》这首歌时,因体力不支,身体太虚弱,突然晕倒在舞台上。后被送往医院抢救,终因长时间患“神经性厌食症”,最终没能够挽救她年轻的生命。《Top of The World》成了卡伦的绝唱。
Top of The World
Such a feeling's coming over me.
There is a wonder in most everything I see.
Not a cloud in the sky,got the sun in my eyes,
Everything I want the world to be
Is now coming true especially for me.
And the reason is clear,
It's because you're here.
You are the nearest thing to heaven
That I've seen.
I'm on the top of the world
Looking down on creation,
And the only explanation
I can find is the love that I've found
Ever since you've been around.
Your love's put me on the top of the world.
Something in the wind has learned my name,
And it's telling me that things are not the same.
In the leaves on the trees,
And the touch of the breeze,
There's a pleasing sense of happiness for me.
There is only one wish on my mind,
When this day is through
I hope that I will find
That tomorrow will be just the same for you and me.
All I need will be mine if you are here
歌词大意
这样一种感觉突然涌上我的心头,眼中所见几乎都充满神奇。天空无云,阳光耀眼,若这只是一场梦,我也不会惊讶。我理想中的世界正专为我实现,原因无他,只因你在这里,你是我所见到的最完美的天使。
我站在世界之顶俯视红尘,我找到的唯一解释是自从认识你以后,我才找到了爱,是你的爱使我登上世界之顶。
